[@felipelima5505]

5k and more congrats stef abarth4life

[@matthewholley9571]

I just moved to the UK from the US and somehow came across your channel. Needless to say, I bought an Abarth after being here a week!

[@tonymarch4197]

Stef ABtv awsome chanel honestly the best a step above the rest keep doing what your doing , I can finally say I'm a proud owner of a Abarth 595 YAMAHA factory racing edition in Rosso red its been sean on KZbin it's truly stunning , I have a question now I'm an owner how do I become an official TEAM AB member ?

[@virgilrytaar9083]

Another great 1.......I still cant afford 1 but I've taken the back seats out of my 924,unbelievably heavy! Keep up the great work!

[@StefABtv]

Thanks Virgil!!

[@klasseact6663]

You were right about the Abarth content Stef! I could almost see you in this car and leaving it alone but I know the 4C is one of your dream cars. Both cars look stunning in yellow💛

[@johndaggett3953]

Keep up the good work - if Abarth fitted a radio I'd have one! I know STG retro fitted a radio in his. Plus I'd like to have the dogring gearbox option, and then go hill climbing!

[@StefABtv]

Thanks mate! I really Want to have a go with a dog ring box too! Want to see what 8500 gets you

[@jat5828]

It’s the Gt3 RS of the Abarth 500 world - totally impractical, totally desirable- want one - btw many congrats on the 5k subs , keep on keeping on Stef !

[@StefABtv]

Thank you so much mate! Great analogy!

[@torekongsparten]

Your smile Every time you move the «pedal» makes me laugh. What a beautiful car in all aspecs for ME !!! Perfect colour to, both inside & outside. The only foult for me from 🇳🇴, is the steeringwheel´s placement 🤣 Thank you for a funny/ entusiastic report. Ok, one thing : this car should ( in my opinion) not have a radio, I would use my IPHONE, but only when I drive to visit Turin ❤️🇮🇹🚙🌟🥇 TK

[@davejones4740]

I've got the 180 thats now a 200. I love it, it's such power for overtaking and having blasts at traffic lights. I will stay with the comp as the seats are very comfy too. I was't sure about the seats at first, but yeah, they are very good.

[@StefABtv]

Thanks mate, it’s more the torque increase you have gained from the map that is the real showstopper with the Garrett turbo :)

[@paullockwood7219]

I missed this review Stef. Enjoyed it. Crazy car. I'll bet residuales are good used.

[@bondy284]

Really enjoyed the video. Love the colour👍🇦🇺

[@StefABtv]

Thanks dude!

[@0tispunkm3y3r]

Awesome. Though looks more luxurious than the one I sat in at Research Garage. That had plastic windows with little slidy slats, that awesome exposed gear linkage and flat carbon fibre door cards without handles! Just a little bit of fabric to tug on.

[@StefABtv]

Thanks mate! You must have seen a proper track version of the biposto. That gearbox if it’s the official dog ring one is about £8500 😭

[@0tispunkm3y3r]

Stef ABtv yeah it was up for sale for a fiver under 50 grand!!!

[@StefABtv]

Ouch!

[@jhoff563]

Another great video Stef

[@StefABtv]

Thank you Jacob!

[@kingken0460]

Definitely a top class video buddy. Love the 695 it definitely looks like a thrill to drive.

[@StefABtv]

Thank you so much mate. 🙂

[@connertomlinson6467]

I’m getting an abarth 595 in a couple of days. Only an entry level one though. Let’s hope they don’t laugh at me in the abarth community 😄 145bhp is a decent step up from my current 85bhp Mazda

[@Peregar4ik]

@goldengraemes there is nothing to laugh at, i currently own a 500 1.2 manual 69HP, and it is tons of fun to drive, it handles better than all my BMW did . It's not about the power, it's about the feedback, the balance, the feel that car gives you

[@Sc2ner]

This would be a dream daily driver. Stripped down cars are my favorite. This would be better with A/C delete, and lightweight door glass with staps for operation. My '15 sadly has a lot of options(weight). My 64 Plymouth Valiant is stripped. Manual everything, no ac,no power steering, 1 door mirror, no reverse lights (those were an option). Now if the US would have gotten this.

[@andytaylor1]

Stop making me want one 😉 Great vid again pal. 👍

[@StefABtv]

Haha!!! Thanks mate!!

[@guesswho2616]

Great video and you are a top bloke! I think at the price the biposto is at though it should come with the carbon fibre dashboard as standard it would just finish it off inside better.

[@StefABtv]

Thanks man!

[@Tekspert]

Great video Stef! It sounds brilliant!

[@StefABtv]

Thanks mate! It does sound mean!!

[@Diamond_Hands_007]

Stef ABtv this 695 look much lower than our 500 or 595, is it 695 original came with lowering springs ? So nice ! I wish I can have a chance to test drive it !

[@StefABtv]

The biposto has fully adjustable suspension. You can raise the height and stiffness if the suspension.

[@simmouk]

Another awesome video! The car is insane. Oh and you may wanna review some of the shots where you can see the speedo...?! ;)

[@StefABtv]

It’s still set kilometres. Couldn’t figure out how to change it to mph... lol

[@PandaFeetProductions]

We love it stef!

[@StefABtv]

Thank you!! 🙂

[@francom9692]

Another great video long live the arbarth 695

[@StefABtv]

Thanks Franco!

[@44_Mark]

Good to see it has ‘good brakes too’ 👊🏻 lol

[@StefABtv]

Defo does!!! :)

[@aking-plums6985]

Hi Steff what is the difference if any between the 695 biposto and the 695 biposto record apart from one being grey and the other being yellow with the title record added to it? Also how would you compare your slightly heavier but more powerful 595 comp to the ligher but less powerful 695 biposto record?

[@alexistosta2399]

Great review mate. Loved it and I also love this car. I am really looking forward to have one also because it is a rare car. In years from now the price will rise and the search for them will increase for sure. In the UK so far is the cheapest place to buy them even being RHD. Regards

[@StefABtv]

I agree, with such a limited run over time they might go up!

[@alexistosta2399]

Stef ABtv With you today I realized the difference of the Biposto and Biposto Record. I would buy one for a daily car. But of course, the lowest the milage, higher the value if to sell in some years from now

[@StefABtv]

Haha glad I could help :)

[@JayEmmOnCars]

What was the 133 record?

[@StefABtv]

133 records they broke in the days of Carlo Abarth. Can’t remember them all lol but one was when he broke a new acceleration record in a class G car at the Monza race track in Italy.

[@karlpeart1752]

I love the entire abarth range but feel this certainly isn't worth between 35 and 50 grand (50 once uv specked one up). Plus it is only 2 seconds to 60mph quicker than a standard 595 ( which is awesome in its own right). And costs around 17 grand. The biposto is an awesome car especially in Modena yellow but wouldn't in my opinion be an ideal daily driver. Plus u can get the Modena yellow paint finish on a standard 595 .

[@jamaisvu2664]

3 years late to this but I think it goes beyond just the 2 second to 60 or paint code. This car would me the equivalent of a finely tuned scalpel vs the 595 which is a very sharp rapier. Definitely comes down to the owner’s own tastes and what they’re willing to sacrifice

[@Mexxx65]

Exact same dilemma choosing between a Renault Megane RS 275 Trophy R and a Renault Megane RS 275 Trophy

[@Diamond_Hands_007]

I Just Subscribe !! Btw, how much it cost for 695?

[@Diamond_Hands_007]

And is your black Abarth is much faster than this yellow 695 correct ?

[@StefABtv]

Thank you! Can get a second handed for 22-26k :)

[@StefABtv]

It is quicker yes. But very different power delivery. Mine gives all the power later up the Rev range :)

[@Diamond_Hands_007]

Stef ABtv I have watched all of your video , thank you so much ! And would like to ask your car have ECU ? If yes what brand ECU you using ? I love love love Abarth ! My first bought was 2012 Grey one and I used Lowering springs Sportline but I sold her one year after because inside the car started to have too much noises, the car feel like almost falling apart, I hate those noises cracking from the dash board, especially left side window and the chairs. After I sold and I bought a 2015 and driving it until now, but still .... the car starting to have a lot of noises unless the road is straight flat , so I drive her very slow and carefully especially avoid deep holes or speed bump etc , other than that , Abarth is the best car I ever had

[@Diamond_Hands_007]

By the way , regarding the interior noises , I saw all your videos and I actually don’t hear them from your car , I saw sometime you pulled hard and fast went thru those bumpy roads but I didn’t hear those cracking squeaking noises of yours. Or maybe because the camera microphone not able to capture ? For mine I have this problem always , or maybe EU version build more solid and USA version no ? Plz share your thought thank you so much and always support your Channel !!

[@Antoine_Collignon]

Hey man, what do you think about the Fiat500X S-Design ? I know it's not as loud & sporty as the abarth but just wanted to see if you're interested in that car

[@StefABtv]

I don’t mind it but personally would own one. I would rather a Mini Paceman :)

[@RivetGardener]

What a car!

[@StefABtv]

Yeah man. It’s mega 🙌

[@danieldarnell7105]

I wish I could get one in the states!

[@ABoringTool]

Hey Stef, do you think it would be doable to mod a regular NA abarth to feel like this? In the states we only have the base abarth model. I got a 2013 abarth US.

[@madfiat8932]

ColindaPieman if you're in the US you don't have a 595. You have a 160bhp 500.

[@ABoringTool]

yeah and stiff suspension, different body, and catless exhaust

[@madfiat8932]

ColindaPieman I know what they have ☺️

[@ABoringTool]

Alvin Brinson I wish we had the hot hatch demand in America. I would love to have gotten a 695 or a cupra.

[@StefABtv]

I think you could mod it but getting the biposto suspension, the rear roll bar, strip it out but I think the car has been built and engineered to be like this. I think it’s always difficult to match something that race engineers have put thousands of hours into lol

[@alexisamtosta]

Just the fact of being a limited edition car is worth the money. 20 years from now this car will be worth 2 or 3 times more.

[@StefABtv]

Yep!

[@haroldhdknoxstreet-glide5331]

Nice 👍 review but a little unpractical on daily use. For that reason (I’m a land road guy, not track) I’ve chosen the Rivale...I don’t fit into the seats 🤪

[@stephenwilliams6540]

Brilliant again.

[@StefABtv]

Thank you so much!

[@AUDIDOIT]

So Stef how did it handle compared to a 180 comp on fsd's and H&R's? Poise? Change of direction ride quality? And whats an A crap ovich exhaust Stef?? FFS say it right bud..lol. ;-) AKRAPOVIC . Would you pay the extra money over your modified car to own one?

[@StefABtv]

Haven’t driven the 180 comp properly other than on a track and the handling is defo different mainly due to the damping. I love the biposto would defo have one but as a second car 🚗

[@CTimney]

Good stuff. Been watching for a while, I have a comp such great fun, even in the snow.

[@StefABtv]

Thanks mate! Thank you for watching :)

[@sbaddison]

I wouldn’t swap my S4 595 Competizione with the performance pack, carbon dash, 7” nav with beats etc for one.

[@StefABtv]

Yeah you’ve got a great car! Really like the S4 comp!

[@johnnytest55]

How fast is your 0-60 on 250hp mod? Over 5.9 still

[@StefABtv]

Sub 5 seconds in my car when it gets the power down. So basically only in the summer where there is grip lol!

[@johnnytest55]

Stef ABtv nice...mpg?

[@BigCol78]

Cool car :)

[@StefABtv]

Thanks mate!

[@TransportSimulatorNationTSN]

Great channel. I came because of vidiq

[@StefABtv]

Thank you so much for heading over :)

[@TransportSimulatorNationTSN]

Stef ABtv welcome man and I sub

[@StefABtv]

Legend!

[@joecerda630]

By the way...I don't know if you noticed...but you're driving on the wrong side of the road...lol

[@StefABtv]

Haha!!!

[@lovecarsTV]

Let’s do the Ferrari Tributo colab next 😛

[@StefABtv]

We so should :)

[@joecerda630]

What's the horsepower?

[@StefABtv]

190bhp mate

[@antosfunb]

190 bhp, 997 kkg

[@gsalazar8176]

Where do u get the 595 widebody kit?

[@kutatailor]

Nice!

[@StefABtv]

Thanks 🙏

[@davedollastr8balla834]

im glad fiat even bothers to make cars like this.

[@StefABtv]

Epic cars!

[@burebistta1923]

What is better: abarth 695 abarth 595 abarth 500

[@StefABtv]

695 biposto is the top of the range Abarth

[@imapadlock]

Should have raced it against your car. But probably wouldn’t have done your brand deal any good 🙈

[@StefABtv]

Haha, I wish I had a brand deal with Abarth! Sadly not though lol

[@wogsybloke]

this is no good to pick anybody up
