Love mine! I have a 2012 U.S. Abarth that I've owned since new with 104k miles. It has been 100% reliable. Never given me an ounce of trouble, even with fairly aggressive daily driving. This car is more smiles per miles than just about any car I have ever owned. And the looks on people's faces when they hear the exhaust note (especially after a decat pipe) is absolutely priceless.

While they are not the quickest in a straight line (they were never meant to be), they are quick through the twisties. You either love em or hate em. If you have never really driven one, you’ll never know how fun they can be.

Five years, 59,506 miles and I've had one set of replacement brake pads, one set of tyres and two control arms (worn rubber bushes). No reliability issues, no oil leaks, no replacement shock absorbers, no faults. The door handle on the driver's side (I'm in the UK so that's the one on the right, or correct side, of the car) did break at the front end but that was down to my lack of maintenance greasing the hinged part and was easily repaired . My Abarth 500 is solid as a rock. I don't recognise the majority of the weaknesses you describe although I hugely enjoyed your presentation style.

I've had mine for almost 6 years now and it's taken me on two road trips up the northeast from Florida, the furthest was Connecticut. I've also driven on 2 quarts of oil by mistake and the car stayed running and it's still running strong today on 4 quarts lol. I'm not sure about other people's reliability with their Abarth but mine is pretty damn good, it also gets a good amount of attention. I will admit that the Florida sun do damage some of the exterior trims but they're easily replaceable. With that being said though, for under $10k it's a very good buy.

I have a 2019 and I noticed I have gotten more attached to it than previous cars I have owned. I'm on my second 500 right now and I just ran in to my first issue; a blown CV boot. The car is on warranty but I dropped it on coilovers so this particular issue may not be covered. The aftermarket is odd, most hot rod parts are in the UK since that is where this car is most popular. Getting my gen 4 tail lights took almost 2 months and from what I see on forums pulling power out of the 1.4 turbo is difficult.

Now, 25k of problem-free miles from me beating on it, and I'm still smiling every time I start it up. Stupidest fun car ever... just a WHOLE PARTY to drive.

110k miles on mine, bought at 32k. No real problems, just CV boots tore at 90k, front shocks blew under warranty at 40k miles, few sets of tires and brakes as expected. The car has been tuned by Open Flash since 45k miles. It's surprisingly been a more reliable car than my first car, a '04 Ford Focus ZX3 I've had for 9 years with 180k miles, purchased at 44k miles.

Castro Turbodart they are essentially the same motor, but the Multi-Air was a later generation, built specifically to be turbocharged as a successor to the STAR-JET, but with an electro-hydraulic valve timing device. This variable valve timing device, similar in result to V-TEC, is a uniques feature to the Muli-Air, as opposed to the T-Jet variants found in mainly Euro models. Sorry if this is a bit wordy.

Picked up a 2014 Abarth as a daily driver and occasional track day toy, mainly because our local track is super small and tight. So far it's been a blast to drive. It's not a "fast" car per se but it corners well and has an amazing stock exhaust note. Downsides? Pretty minor considering these things were around $30K new in Canada and can be had used now for around $10K. Cheap interior but I wasn't expecting a ton here and it's functional. 4x98 wheels so not a ton of options unless you want to go 4x100. And a general consensus that the car consumes more oil that most (1L per 750 miles is within manufacturer tolerances). Might start becoming somewhat of a rarity as they didn't sell a ton and the car is now discontinued so whatever is on the road is what's gonna be out there.

We are taking a bit more time to process all existing orders and fix any issues with current orders still at this time as it wouldn’t be fair to customers to delay orders that have been waiting. Apologies to you and anyone else waiting but we are doing our best to work though this is the most professional manner possible and will now resume taking new orders the 26th!

I bought my abarth for my first car last year. I bought it because they’re cheaper, and give you bang for your buck with the turbo, the stick shift, and the power to weight ratio. I’m in my journey of upgrades and literally a few bolt ons with some coilovers and people all over the place are always breaking necks from my lowered and loud Abarth. They’re great looking hot hatches, and have great sound. These things at 250 bhp can keep up with a C63 AMG and once I’m done with my bolt ons, a remap is next with a target of around 250 bhp. They aren’t too fast stock but a few bolt ons will have you pulling on most people on the road. Tune overkill. The reliability costs are low and the car has been great to me with no problems at 70k miles and going!!! These cars under the stock block can reliably give you stupid power gains!

I wanted one of these for a long time. Finally test drove a 595 Competizione fully kitted with Brembo’s, Record Monza exhaust, LSD and carbon backed Sabelt seats back in February. Sorry to say, I was quite disappointed. The sound was absolutely fantastic but everything else was only ok. It didn’t put a smile on my face the way I imagined it would. Still have a lot of respect for them, very cool little cars but just not for me.

I had a 2012 500 sport and then a 2015 abarth. Both were unbelievably fun to drive, but I was at the dealer non stop with both. Only got 27,000 miles out of the Abarth over a 4 year period, and had nothing but issues with it. I babied it and the interior would literally fall apart. Steering wheel, radio, and trunk latch had to be replaced, back seat leaked, among a host of other issues. Final nail in the coffin was a $1,700 transmission issue after the warranty expired. RIP

I’ve loved the abarth since it came to the US in 2012 and almost had it as my first car. In some ways I regret not getting one. These things can shoot flames like a gtr and 2 step like a supra!!! Look it up.

I owned one of these for about a year and they're great cars. If you live in a place with rough roads then don't buy one. The short wheelbase and sport suspension is really rough, especially as a daily driver. Other than that, it's one of the most fun cars I've ever owned. Straight out of the factory, the exhaust also pops pretty loudly on downshifts when in sport mode.
