5 Things To Hate About My Abarth 695 Biposto

[@FourDownsOnABus]

being a 595 owner myself, i couldn't agree more with you, but all these negatives are massively outweighed by the positives of having an Abarth, and only Abarth owners would know this.

[@seenthroughglass]

+Joseph Bell 100%! Dont worry mate. Consider ourselves lucky. Everyone else is missing out

[@vishwasreddy9742]

Seen Through Glass In India abarth 595 competizione in India costs 36lakhs 50 thousand rupees, thats 43846.23 punds right? Twice the cost because 140% tax on imported cars. Fiat launched this car last year in India. I may own one in future by spending my earned money.

[@proGURU44]

Get the abarth punto then

[@ronaldoferko7943]

Hate isn't the right word to say it. Dislike is.

[@arsenewenger9322]

Ronaldo Ferko you have to put hate, it doesn't sound right any other way

[@ronaldoferko7943]

Okay then

[@the-boring-car-guy]

To sum this car up in 1 word, bipostorous

[@AnimilesYT]

[@martini94x]

SaLAD bravo sir, bravo

[@alxdsnts]

Have you thought about having separate intros for the Abarth and for the McLaren? For example, if the video had the McLaren in it you'd use its intro, and vice versa

[@louisc8020]

What if the video doesnt involve both cars or what if it involved both cars?

[@alxdsnts]

he could use the current intro that has both cars and other aspects of the channel too

[@97JGK]

I love the "fiat 500" stigma, non car fans think it's just another fiat 500 and then you pull away at the lights and it's all brooppppaahhhhhh psshh brooooaaaaa

[@simshawn3045]

Wow impressive

[@chevdad1566]

I know what you mean, I still chuckle from the jaw drop on the college kid with a Corvette that works with me when he wat he me take off. Lol

[@StefABtv]

Ive owned my abarth for nearly a year and have filled up many times and only just realised from this video the clip to hand the fuel cap on 😂 what a tool I am loool

Somethings are better left unsaid Stef ;)

[@ChannelPineappleSon]

Hyundai Accent Fan Club honestly that's the biggest flaw with this car

[@ethanlau2]

Hyundai Accent Fan Club not really a competitor to the Abarth, closer to McLaren territory

Any car when you hit the air recycle switch will fog up the windows. Typically you recycle the air when you are running A/C to keep the cold air cycling. Being you don't have AC.... So the windows fogging is not a fist issue, it's a every car on the planet issue.

[@AutomotiveMike]

Every car has is pros and cons!

[@alui92]

Ok, here is some criticism: 1. You're complaining about the fuel efficiency yet, you don't own/drive a GT car. The Abarth is your daily drive which doesn't mean you should do hundreds of miles per day in it. At least in my opinion. Anyways...The GOOD criticsm: I really really reeeeally like your natural behavior! When I started watching a few videos of you, quite a while ago, I thought "Man, this guy is quite arrogant" Yet, you are such an honest, open-minded and clearly down-to-earth person that I bet is really nice to meet in person and hang out with. All in all I would like to excuse for my wrong grammar at any moment because english is not my first language. Greetings from Germany!

[@scaredybear8541]

Ron Ferka quite agree with you

[@jimjam218]

I think it's a good point that only car people recognise it for the awesome car it is! Separates car people from the rest, it means you get a lot more respect from the people that do know what it is.

[@Martinangelkoski]

You should check if the Abarth has a carbon cabin filter. If not, buy one and install it, it blocks many of the smells you mentioned.

[@pumpuppthevolume]

it's a fiat 500

[@Suggs2011]

😂😂

[@zolastic]

great video Sam - you're hilarious. Imitating the petty squabble with your sister cracked me up. It's a silly car by any measure but your passion for it is endearing.

[@madfiat8932]

No A/C? That would be the death knell for me. Glad my Abarth has it.

[@tidgney]

Welcome to the North Sam, a place where everyone is friendlier and things are cheaper :D! You've forgotten your end cards again :P!

[@ballra]

[@conorbell9932]

Good to hear and see that you are feeling better

[@mr_glasgow84]

I'm assuming you're happy with the driving position? One of the worst things I found with my 595 comp - seat too high and a wheel that doesn't adjust for reach. Nightmare for us taller drivers.

[@nigelpstreet]

I have a 595 Turismo, and I agree that the boot chrome and passenger side badge declaring '500' is a bit annoying. The thing that is most annoying is that big cars (read: Audis) come right up the the bumper trying to intimidate you out of the way, no matter how fast you're going - they couldn't possibly be seen to be held up by a small car, no matter how quick. On the flip side, it's a nice Q-car to catch out unsuspecting bigger cars though. The list of things I love about my car is a lot longer than 5 things...

[@nightnomad635]

Gearbox? Reviews said it feels spongy and lacking crispness during changes. What's your take on it now that you've driven the dog ring box

[@GrifdogX]

I feel your pain Sam. I had an Abarth 500c a couple years ago. I absolutely loved the thing to bits but the whole "It's just a fiat" thing really got annoying. I eventually traded it in and got a GT86 instead.

[@Milnoc]

It's just a Subaru. 😁

[@helenawalden5321]

100% agree with you on the hard ride aspect. I drive a 595 and swerving pot holes is apart of the everyday drive. The turning circle is pretty poor too - apart from that it's the best little thing to drive around... I can't help but rev a little too much with that signature Abarth exhaust! Thinking of upgrading to Competizione..

[@Milnoc]

I have a North American 2015 Fiat 500 Abarth which is the European equivalent of the old Abarth 500 Essess or the current Abarth 595 Turismo. To soften the ride, I went in the opposite direction and installed budget shocks and struts, specifically KYB Excel-G shocks and struts. The car's now a bit bouncy at slow speed, but at least I get to keep my fillings at any speed! 😁

[@leedaughtrey516]

knew you was type of guy that fills the car up when there's a space in front of you already! 👌 throbber

[@davidsjogren223]

Off topic but Sam I am so excited for the day when you take away that wrap on the McLaren. I just rewatched the collecting video and OMG your McLaren looks totally insane in black.

[@mikejautosandstuff3349]

I have owned a 2015 abarth and now have a 2016 yellow abarth. USA models. Also I have a 2016 mustang GT , my abarth is my DD. I have more fun and enjoyable times in this little car then my mustang at half the price. I'm always in a good mood and smiles in the abarth. Mustang is stressful, big boat!!! Maybe I just got used to smaller sized cars? Abarth is pretty much a STREET GO-CART. 👍🏼

[@sickjohnson]

Sam, it sounds like the Mileage is not too bad? What I didn't understand is how your car's HVAC is different from everyone else's car even with the absence of air conditioning, because it is either outside air or recirculated air in every other car produced. It's not like you buy bottled air when you fuel up?

[@MrSardo88]

love your biposto! i got a 595 and loving it every day!

[@nadinestaniforth]

That is the one thing that annoys me. The fact most people think it's a fiat 500. When my log book states it's an abarth! I'm pretty sure the general public just think my car is a fiat 500 with a spoiler and stickers! Err no. But then on the other hand I get people who are generally interested about it coz they remember the original abarth 500.

[@Kikis501]

Lol your license plate looks like it say ODIO STG, which would mean HATE STG in Spanish !

[@benlister7803]

Love to see which places you visited. Think some are very close to where I live which is a blast to see from one of my favourite youtubers.

[@760am]

Wrap the spoiler in satin black would like amazing.

[@ellisd82]

ooh Good shout. or satin carbon.

[@760am]

ellisd82 That would also do the trick.

[@kellair_]

finally i know why my windows are steaming up every day in my abarth😂 thanks!👍🏼

[@sgdtv1368]

No.1 the cost no.2 tge likes it (Btw I like this car and maybe TGE)

[@FhVW]

Love the review. Still wanting an abarth after owning a regular 500 TwinAir. But it is so expensive to get a proper one. And as you mentioned, almost nobody will notice. I never would've thought buying a 500 but my little engine is impressive! I love the the character that the car has, even the little nitty negative things like the crappy turn signal lever.

[@hotmobiles6556]

To be honest, I must say your videos provide this whole cinematic feel :)

[@TGE]

Should have bought a Defender m8 🌚

[@MrBhop58]

[@sailingspark9748]

Own both an Abarth and a Discovery Series 2. I get the same range per tank in both, but the 4.6 in the rover certainly makes it a thirsty beast.

[@robogden5053]

STG for the win

[@tomhowroyd]

Brilliant video as always Sam, the quality just keeps getting better. Please reduce the amount you say literally though! Hahaha

[@TheShearny]

290 miles from more or less 30 litres is very good

[@gmansplit]

That's 36 mpg. That is crazy good.

[@ARDEN440i]

gmansplit 36 mpg on the motorway actually is not all that impressive at all considering it's a 1.4. I can get the same out of my mother's 1.6 02 Golf...

[@lawsyy1314]

gmansplit I presume you're from states side. Over here I'd say 36 is at best average, a lot of cars will be doing 50+ and that's a fairly decent number 🙃

[@TheShearny]

No, U.K.. My 2011 1.2L fiesta does 300 maximum of motorway miles and I think that has a slightly bigger tank than the abarth

[@akrokdesign]

who cares about MPG. it's all about SPG (smile per gallon) ;-)

[@Birmingham_racing]

It's based on the fiat 500 it doesn't matter what engine or suspension etc you have its still a fiat 500 just better. If that bothers you then you should not have bought it

[@andrelrramos]

When I read the title of this video, I thought: ohhh, look this bald man saying wrong things of this amazing car! Ok, I was wrong! I have a Fiat 500 and some issues are the same: like the air conditioning problem! Nice video! I wait the next one!

[@bencauser4379]

i actually recognize where you are at 3:57 ! you drove through Harewood i literally live 5 mins from there haha amazing roads!!!

[@BARON.SAMEDI.]

Hello From Germany. I also bought an Abarth 5 months ago. Mine is the Facelift Competizione 180 MTA version. My (still) biggest problem is the Sabelt seat height. I have a sunroof...and that's why the middle part of the roof is lower. So I payed 500 Euros to place the seats 2,5 cm lower. The position is still too high. The other thing I don't like is the fact, that there is no Tempomat, Cruise Control. There are no seat heater...and no defrost in the side mirror. The steering wheel can't be positioned forward/backward...just up & down!!!Off course I also hate the Dashboard 500 sighn...so much, that I decided to visit the Koshi Group Carbon Factory from (Prizren, Kosovo) and will let install the Carbon Dashboard. There will be also a badge! Not 500, but 595 Competizione 👍👽👉 5⃣9⃣5⃣

[@peterlewis3540]

Nobody in their right mind would buy the top of the range Abarth, without taking a thorough road test. Apart from the cost, its an extreme ride, an few drivers could put up with such firm suspension, but this is the charm of owning and driving such a rare car. The main reason Fiat have removed the A/C from the BiPosto, is to save weight. The compressor that operates the system, weighs quite a bit, and if you thought the fuel economy was poor, just try driving with the A/C on, it will cripple your fuel efficiency. If you find it gets too warm in the car, just open a window slightly.

[@bsd103]

embrace the "it's just a 500", it's quite fun when everyone assumes it and you get to drive the most rambunctious little sleeper! People always assume my 230+whp abarth is slow and you get all sorts of fun reactions when they try to race!

[@hellojeff3274]

[@egocd]

So really, you should have bought a normal Abarth 500? Lol. Air con, better fuel economy, softer ride etc..

[@josesylvestre4377]

I was the owner of a 2013 500 abarth . Crazy fun to drive ... But always back at dealer every 30'days to fix my car under warenty. Warenty over ... Sold the car and Will never go back to Fiat! But sooooo much funn to drive !

[@Chinchillatoy]

What does it get to the gallon? if you're getting 280 miles on £30 that's pretty bloody good. i get about 10 miles every £1 in my 1.4 diesel. it can't be that crap on fuel if the tank is genuinely £30 to fill. If it gets that far it can't be getting less than 45-50 to the gallon and that in a performance petrol car is pretty bloody good

[@ferritruck3355]

Awesome video. Especially compared to the last one....

[@CCGR-2024]

What are you paying for petrol over there? You mentioned you payed 30 pounds for fuel but you didn't say how much fuel. Just curious, hope you don't mind me asking!

[@sugarsaint]

Perhaps it's just me but i'm thinking near 300 miles from a 35 Liter tank isn't too shabby considering the performance on offer.

[@S2000Y]

1/ Run the car until it out of fuel, that's your fuel range. otherwise live with it 2/Live with it, or move away from that sewer plant 3/Change it for a rubber one, or live with it 4/Stigma?, cmon, really 5/UK roads are rubbish, either live with it or move to France/Spain

[@RivetGardener]

I've got a 2017 Abarth 500 and when I am on one bar left on the fuel gauge, the range continuously alternates between 96 and 126 miles left. Every 3 minutes or so...even when driving straight with no hills nor turns. Go figure!

[@01BSBH]

I just bought the 595 Turismo and purposefully added the Aluminium fuel filler cap...

[@MTobin1000]

Sam, we need more cow bell ! You need to give us more Cow Bell! (cow bell = McLaren 540c)

[@matthewgodwin3050]

Is there not a locking petrol cap? I had a Fiat 500 version of this car, and I had to put the key in to open it. On the Abarth, it appears you just unscrew it. Maybe this is why your fuel economy is bad, maybe someone's siphoning your petrol when you're not looking?

[@TURBOMIKEIFY]

I wonder if the Abarth (not even the biposto, which I've never heard of until now) will be the new Miata.

[@castielrocks906]

I got tired of saying "it's not a Fiat!" when I had mine. I miss it.

[@ianlee9067]

I hope you are feeling better.

[@TheJoeMB]

That car is over flowing with character. Too bad the 695 Biposto is so expensive.

[@kalv123]

230+ miles for £30 is awesome.... my Mitsubishi evo only manages 120 miles to a £60 tank of super on the road (60 miles on track) and my diesel work car only does 450 miles to a £60 tank so I would think the biposoto is awesome on fuel for a hot hatch! However I agree it's not just a fiat 500 it would be like someone saying my evolution is 'just a lancer' 😂😂

[@gravityfighter6667]

Sam, I know you are enamored with your 'Ferrari yellow' on the Abarth, but why don't you wrap it in the same livery as the Mclaren?

[@VeiRoNv2]

I would recommend some Rain X for the windows steaming up,problem solved.

[@seoulman912]

As soon as warmer weather comes around, your love for the A/C lacking Abarth 695 will turn to hate. I see a Ford Focus RS (or a similar car) in your near future.
