Anyone know about these cars? Specifically, this spec https://www.leboncoin.fr/offre/voitures/2322115645 Never seen this paint scheme before and wanting to check if it was available as a factory finish. Possible run about (lol) for the missus summer roof down fun..
IMO, you won’t have done. Whilst the advert claims it’s an original paint scheme, that's a one off customer order. Crit’air 2 so might not be allowed in some cities. Also it’s an automatic which will for some, take a bit of the fun out of it. Already a thread about the Abarth on here from 2020, https://www.ducatiforum.co.uk/threads/abarth-595.80782/ Andy
Thanks. Auto no issue, that is our daily drive. Crit’air 2 maybe an issue, that said, I think the fine is about 80euro. The French dont seem to take any notice of stupid rules though and we avoid cities…
Mate has an Abarth and its basically a go kart. Its stiff like perhaps you and me would like it. But mrs may get the hump unless she's a hoon too. He loves it, says its great fun. Has a nice burble too.
Yeah, do you need someone ahead of you to warn other road users they may have permanently impaired vision?
I drive that slowly I have employed a man to wave a Red flag forewarning other road users of my approach.
The ex wife had one for a bit. Really didn’t like it. I’ve been unfortunate enough to have to spend a bit of time in these on track as well, amongst other circuit people, I’ve never met anyone who wanted to get stuck instructing in the abarths on a job. Slow. Unstable. Rock hard ride. Crap brakes. E pas system made by Toys R’us with no feel. The manual is awkward. The automated manual is pony. Surprisingly expensive to maintain for a 1.4. If you don’t use the petronas oil the engines gunk up like a gooden. Tiny inside (granted I am tall). Noisy cabin. If it’s new, Fiat customer services is the worst I’ve ever experienced.
