The Highs and Lows of the Abarth 595 Scorpioneoro [700 mile Road Test]

Welcome to the Friday Feature powered by H&H Classics...
www.handh.co.uk/
It certainly looks great from the outside and has lots of character, but is the Abarth 595 Scorpioneoro any good to live with if you need to do longer journeys. Well I had one for a week and put it to the test over more than 700 miles. My week was full of surprises and plenty of smiles...

Once you drive abarth, all other cars become boring

[@johnbenias5090]

I own and have owned cars with cruise control and never, ever used the feature. I’m up to my 3rd Abarth and love that they don’t have cruise control. Unnecessary piece of tech but especially in an Abarth 500/595/695. Drive, dear boy, drive! Ps: I’m in Australia. Some big distances!

Great vid mate. Not sure what’s happened I’m driving and reviewing mini’s at the moment and you are playing with Abarth’s 😂😂😂 it’s a cool car the scorpione oro in terms of looks but I’d always go for a competizione or Esseesse as the best overall.

I agree that the 595 is absolute top for smiles. When I was looking to buy my current car I test drove various options one of which was the 595 with Monza exhaust. Just 100% smiles and super fun but I chose not to buy this mainly because of the (in my opinion) poor build quality and livability for a daily driver. In the end my choice was the Clio RS Trophy.

I was driving both the 500 and 595 abarth for 8,5 years overall and the ongoing quality and performance isseues were an absolute no go. My abarths spent more time in the dealers garage than with me and at the end I had to just give up on it.

Remember when £1.40/litre for fuel seemed pricey?! 🤣

[@ishraqzamee9479]

£1.40 for fuel. We should’ve appreciated those days a bit more 😢

[@samwilde595]

I LOVED mine, remapped is a much better experience. They’re truly pretty hopeless in most areas but that’s not what abarth are all about, they’re just FUN! I have a type r fk2 which is leagues better as a package but…. It lacks the general fun of the abarth.

Petrol ped is back. Not electric ped

[@stephenrichards5386]

Just don't have an accident in it. Dead

[@carlbrinton4639]

I had an Abarth 500 a few years ago, I now have a Mini Cooper S, with a little tune on her and my son now has an Abarth. He’s a lot louder but I’m a lot quicker, but we both have big smiles on our faces!

[@login1226]

I’m 69, not particularly good blood circulation, I watched this before going to Newcastle to pick up new 595 Comp, and driving 300 miles home to W

Great review Pete, comprehensive and as honest as always. I enjoyed the different format and pleased you managed to give it a complete test by merging the video with other commitments.

[@jonestell1562]

Really great review. Had our Abarth for 40k miles and you have nailed all the key points in a few days! Miss it massively. Character in spades.

[@rlmross]

Great review and I feel exactly the same with mine, love it as my daily but I never do long distance in it.

[@stephenwoodrow1334]

A great point well made about 'b' roads. I enjoy a blast in my 595 along these types of roads more than I do in my 380 Exige. The Exige is amazing but just too large to place properly for most UK roads if you want to stretch its legs. A great video...thanks

[@derekfinnegan734]

You had me howling with laughter at the fuel stop, Pete.

[@owenmcdonald5922]

Great review. What better way to give an honest opinion than on a long journey.

[@dangreasley7934]

Thanks for the review, very comprehensive and honest. Keep it up fella! :)

[@CathodeRayNipplez]

In a world flooded with dull and boring plebmobiles I love that these exist to bring some joy and sunshine to life.
