Summary
There are many variants of the Abarth 500/595/695. This one, the 595 Competizione is a ‘proper’ Abarth. By that we mean aggressive, loud and a little bit bonkers. 180PS in a car this size is more than enough to give serious hot hatch performance. But the downside of a car this size is, well, size. Interior space is limited. Hot hatchbacks are supposed to be practical, and the lack of interior space in the 595 is, potentially, a deal breaker.
