I got this roughly a month ago, landed up driving from Hampshire down to Somerset to pick it up and so glad I made the journey. I had been looking for a while and having a very specific list of must haves made things difficult so when this came up I jumped at the opportunity. I had already missed out on a couple of other Abarths so wasn't going to let this one slip through my fingers. Originally a demo car it was nicely spec'd with Beats Speakers, 7" SatNav, Arkapovic exhaust, Carbon dashboard etc... They also spec'd it with no rear windscreen wiper so nice clean lines at the back and they also stuck on some carbon effect brake fins which look really good in the flesh.
This is my second Abarth, previously had series 1 however due to personal circumstances which basically boils down to the wife not being happy turning up to client meetings in a car with red chequered roof and red scorpion on the bonnet it had to go. I was gutted I sold it and always said I'd get another one when the time was right. The new one is a totally different beast from my old car, don't get me wrong my previous Abarth 135bhp was very nippy but with this stick it in 3rd gear and plant your foot the accerlaration is brutal and the noise from the Arkrapovic exhaust is pure bliss. I am considering a remap and lowering springs from
