Running Costs on My 250 BHP Abarth 595 Competizione

[@MotorCarLife]

Only 2800 subscribers? You deserve many more !! I'm following you from Italy! 50% of your videos do not understand anything but watch them because you are nice and I also have an abarth! You are a great one, keep on doing so! Sorry if it's written bad but use google translator!

[@StefABtv]

+xTestuEFJ thank you so much for watching :)

[@Sean-tj5cu]

@@StefABtv Well you've obviously done something good, mate! 350k! :D

[@lnpxw20]

Mate this couldn't have come at a better time ! Just put my deposit down on a 595 comp 65 plate and picking up Saturday 👍

[@StefABtv]

+DRONEBOY awesome! :) excited for you mate!

[@rustybaws]

How's it been mate? Thinking about getting one for the Mrs to drive to work and me to drive at the weekends!

[@JayEmmOnCars]

I think it's good to see Abarth using shorter intervals. Too many manufacturers are stretching intervals too much for my liking, especially with heavily boosted engines, The old Impreza and Evo had 4000 mile or shorter service intervals and you're running a lot more boost than they did...

[@StefABtv]

+JayEmm on Cars thanks Jay, yep I remember my old Evo 8, very short service intervals on that car!

[@JayEmmOnCars]

Stef ABtv What did you think of the Evo? I've never driven one. Love to one day

[@ZhanManel]

You guys in UK are so lucky. The 595 Competizione goes for at least 18k€ here in Portugal... got a 2010 SS for 12.5k and it was one of the cheapest out here.

[@babymilouk]

Another great vid mate! Just joined the Abarthisti as of Saturday and over the moon with the car! Big plans for it and your vids are helping a lot.

[@StefABtv]

+babymilouk thanks mate! Awesome! You will love it!

[@babymilouk]

Already am! Maybe catch you at some meets in the future, cheers bud

[@1memo1717]

Love it .... very informative... thank you Stef👌🏾

[@jimcamp2423]

Engine braking vs brake pads ? It's always cheaper to replace brake pads at the wheels rather than beat on the clutch, cv joints and transmission and also the engine components. I'll let someone swap brake pads and rotors at the service shop over rebuilding an engine or transmission any day. Price a clutch job vs resurfacing/replacing rotors & pads.

[@tanhussain7264]

I'm 18 & ive just picked up at 160bhp abarth for my first car, yours is extra fresh though

[@StefABtv]

+Tan Hussain thanks mate :)

[@SelectiveXSniping]

Tan Hussain insurance and black box ?

[@TheSpeedfreak665]

@@SelectiveXSniping Doubt it 🙄 That's like dating a Nun.

[@DaveHensey]

You have made me want an abarth so much I will be grabbing one before the end of the year I just can’t decide which one I want and what colour

[@StefABtv]

Thanks man :) they are great little cars 🙂

[@samfield3773]

Yours is pretty epic! I pick my new 595 up next week

[@StefABtv]

+Sam Field thanks mate! Exciting times!

[@ZareP1]

10k was pretty cheap ngl. Looking to buy a 695 rivale in the future but it's 27.5k € minimum rn in Portugal . . . really want to have an Abarth, so in the future will probably go for one of the "stock" 180cv options, with the prices in Portugal used for sure xD

[@richarddutchholland4780]

Great video again...

[@xixn66]

Here is Korea and I have the same car with your's. But my gear is automatic MTA gear. I want to tune mine similar with your's, so can you suggest what to tune or the site to buy some equips? Please give me the detail answer.

[@jimcamp2423]

The math isn't right on that, 10.5 gallons and 250 miles is 25 mpg, if that's combined city highway, do the algebra on city miles and highway miles and you'll know what you get city/highway. No way around it, that's what you're actually getting. 49 mpg for instant read is totally inaccurate for real world driving. you'd be getting 490+ miles on a tank. You're getting 250 miles, about 1/2 that range. My 500 Sport computer tells me I'm getting 40+ constantly. Sometimes it'll bs me and read 57-60+ mpg instant calculation. I'll wind up with a range of 340-360 miles depending upon how hard I drive it, how I feel confortable about how long the gauge has been stale with one block of lights for fuel remaining, and end up pumping 10-10.2 gallons and the tank will fill to the neck with close to 11 gallons at the pump before the fuel starts to run down the side of the rear quarter panel & onto the concrete. So I'm getting around 34-36 mpg with 101 hp in a US model. The average computer read for mpg is between 33.2 to 33.7 mpg. And a lot of this depends how much air pressure are in the tires. 36-38 psi all around and I'm getting better fuel economy. A month or few into that air up and the tires are holding enough air to get fewer mpg while still being fine enough to keep the tire pressure sensor from lighting up the dashboard. I've found 29 psi sets the front tire sensors to light and read to check air pressure. More like 27ish psi for the rear tire pressure to indicate it's time to reinflate all the way around. At that low air pressures, the avg. fuel economy is still 32.2-32.7 mpg. Anyway, mine does better than the 27/34 for the 2013 Sport w/ 6 spd auto, maybe not as good as the 5 spd manual rating or actuial ?

[@mooiboyace]

That looks insanely good

[@StefABtv]

+Gandalf m8 thank you

[@nabismith8023]

Love your vids as always but i have one request that I think might help. Could you possibly do an American conversion of the cost in dollars for your American mates? Thanks and keep it up

[@StefABtv]

+nabi smith thanks mate, il keep that in mind for future vids mate

[@0tispunkm3y3r]

500 is reasonable for insurance. Nice to know. Stef have you ever compared the comp to the Turismo? Interested to know how they differ

[@StefABtv]

+0tispunkm3y3r main difference is seats, exhaust and suspension mate. Think it's different for series 4 cars as the comp is 180bhp but on the series 3 both were 160bhp I believe

[@ctbailey1977]

Hey Stef, great car. Was wondering if you had a current mods list so I could see what you are currently running?

[@StefABtv]

+Christopher Bailey hi mate, I will start to include in the description from now on mate. But mainly big turbo, larger injectors, flick, intake, decat, sport cat in centre section, powermotive exhaust and a remap :)

[@txc123]

Hey man love the channel! Im in the USA and have a NA abarth. I just lowered it with madness 2/2.5 drop. Im trying to soften the ride up a bit any tips as far as shocks? Also I have 17's with the drop, what wheel spacing do you think would work ok? Thanks man!

[@Kazi2812]

You've lowered it, but want to soften it up? Sounds like you've gone down the wrong path.

[@txc123]

Not so much soften as in ride, just sounds like its slamming sometimes, never had a lowered vehicle before

[@StefABtv]

+Tim C 12mm front and 16mm is optimal mate

[@babymilouk]

Sorry Stef quick question. Where did you get your spacers from and what make are they? Having trouble finding 12mm spacers for the front. Cheers bud

[@StefABtv]

+babymilouk tmc motorsport mate you can get them from there

[@thehillmaster5000]

what kind of oil are you using ? 10/50 or 5/40

[@spencexxx]

You get 27 mpg according to what you said. Why did you say you get 49mpg??

[@StefABtv]

That’s combined. Can get 49 on a motorway run

[@antonylynn7783]

Whats the exact oil u use?

[@dkrieger5281]

What is that huge carbon fiber cylinder on the intake? Don't see those in the USA

[@StefABtv]

+Daniel Krieger it's a forge intake that sucks cold air from the scuttle. It's drilled in to the scuttle panel too

[@dkrieger5281]

Thanks for the reply, and thanks for having this channel, I live in California and it seems like no one appreciates these cars. Such an inspiration mate. Can't wait to have one as cool as yours.

how many BHP does it have? I think he missed that

[@StefABtv]

Lol. It’s in the title!

[@0tispunkm3y3r]

6000 miles service interval? Jeez... That is short.

[@danielwoodland9576]

Tax 190 ouch. My blue gt mapped to 200bhp is 20 tax a year lol.

[@StefABtv]

Haha 20 a year! Winning!

[@johnpeter7940]

Why 190 tax on a 1.4

[@Alfwoodsy]

Any other ice hockey players here know if this can fit all my gear in the boot?

[@simeonselmon8318]

More like hundred pound a week on fuel

[@iamwhatiam6281]

the major cost is the washing service XD

[@supercarplayz4855]

It’s rude to point Nice car though

[@simeonselmon8318]

You need to sell your house to run one of this cars

My peouget 108 is just as much fun and a lot cheaper

[@denniskay3957]

You like saying 250 bhp don't you lol
