I loved my Fiat 500. I had a turbo 5 speed. Nothing ever broke and it was fun to drive and easy to park in the city. I drove that car all over the West Coast. Got rear ended and it was totaled.
I actually bought one of these from Carmax last week for 10k. Only had 20k miles on it, 2013. Its super clean and I love the thing. I will tell you pretty much everything in it is cheap and kind of gross feeling but Ill tell you its the most fun ive had in a car in a long time. Since the miles were so low the maxcare warranty was cheap too so I can beat the heck out of it. Super fun little thing!
Just bought a 2013 Abarth Cabrio for my daughter about a month ago...45k miles, unmolested, $10k....and its a flippin’ HOOT. Not fast per se, but surprisingly quick and super fun to drive. Had the typical broken driver seat armrest, bought a new one and installed myself for $100. She loves it and gets a TON of compliments, many due to the fact that she’s 16 and can drive a stick. 👍🏻 Crash test scores are excellent too. Good stuff.
Ooh, I have an Abarth 500 - second one I’ve owned, love them... brilliant fun, feels like you’re driving fun without breaking any speed limits. Anyway, love the videos, and Hello from England!
Awesome, but I have the cheapest Abarth in the country I paid 1800.00 with 32,500 miles on it. Was rolled but not terribly damaged. All fixed to daily driver mode.
I still giggle like a little schoolgirl when I hear that exhaust note...;) Congrats and enjoy. My current situation doesn't allow for an Abarth, but I can enjoy vicariously through you!
I bought a 2015 last summer with 43,000 miles for 8,800 USD. 17 inch OEM forged wheels, leather, auto climate, sunroof, sat radio, digital dash, no mods. Only had to replace a door handle, battery blanket and front strut mounts. Everything else still works perfectly, and the Firehawk Indy 500 tires were almost brand new! Gotta get the wheels aligned now. I tend to drive on windy, bumpy roads to see how long I'll live. 😁
Few things about Multi-Air... It's a FIAT (and not a Dodge) engine "born" during mid '80 and now "flavoured" with turbo and MultiAir Technology In Italy this engine has 2.8 lt capacity of oil (around 3 quarts, give or take) but the oil is much important for let it run correctly. Oil is used to allow valve time and lift change but in a quite different way than VTec. So, keep in mind to verify the correct oil spec and also to do the oil reset into the ECU the service. This will allow the ECU to "get a sense" of the oil status than change the behavior of the engine. Last but not least: ECU will refuse to start if there's not enough oil into the system, for avoid timing problems. Have a lot of fun.
I worked with a guy who had an Explorer just like that with the 5 speed, a good idea since a lot of those Explorer’s suffered from trans issues. Very cool little car John, sorry I’m behind on your videos, been busy making more of my own.
Knew somebody who almost bought a new one of these Abarths a few years ago, said the Fiat dealer was selling them for like $16,000 brand new. Ended up buying a Civic Si, while not as fun was probably a much more sensible choice.
@@aaronbays4 Anyone who bought these new got literally raped. I bought one used at a great deal a few years ago and still lost some money, lol. The values have truly tanked. You could have a clean, 20,000 mile 2015 that you paid $28,000 for, and it's worth $8,000 on trade just 4 years later.
@@ice44567 You had to be an absolute SUCKER if you paid $28,000 for one of these new. $16,000 was the going price for a new 2014-2015ish Abarth according to my buddy at his local Erie PA dealership. I'm sure he paid a lot more for his Civic, but its worth a good bit more than a happy meal now days and has been faultlessly reliable.
I did something very similar man, I bought the cheapest Abarth Punto maybe in the UK almost a year ago at only £2495. Apart from a few replacements & new parts, haven’t regretted it.
I like how people are shocked a modern car can make it over 100,000 miles, like it's some sort of achievement, lol. For a Fiat, these cars are very tolerant of being beat on regularly.
If you think a 500 Abarth model is fun, you should try a 500e, which is the all electric 500. People jokingly call it an Ebarth. The instant torque off the line with a 500e is amazing. And they can be had super cheap as well.
I have a friend here in Australia who has a 2012 500 non turbo with 700,000 km's on the clock, he has taken it round the country twice,engine was stripped and rebuilt at 400,000 km's ,transmission was overhauled at about the same time ,apart from that the car is as it was when he bought it,it's bulletproof almost and is great to drive, my wife has a 2015 model as a daily drive ,it's done close to 300,000 km's and apart from normal maintenance has had nothing done to it,for me Fiat cars are as reliable as any car I have owned,by the way your channel is great ,love the videos...
I had a 99 ford exploder with a 5 speed mazda manual, and a 4.0 ohv. Still the best gasoline low rpm power band I've ever had. Put 200k on the original clutch while killing it everytime I drove. I drove 0-50 like a rockstar. But 50-80 was kind of embarrassing. Still in top 5 of my favorite vehicles I owned.
Hope you love it man I have a white one and I love it. They handle like their on rails once you get it all tuned suspension wise. Mine has the beats system and sunroof always drive with sport mode on throttle response increases tremendously
I had never seen one of these cars but today I saw my first one at the doctors office. It was white and red and I had no idea what it was and neither did anyone else going into the office. Now your doing a video about the same car just different color. WOW.
I once raced a Fox body Mustang with an Abarth on a two lane country road and after four miles he eeeked by me while we were doing 140mph and gave me this look of WTF? Fun car!
You’re better than ripping other people’s shtick off. “The cheapest ‘x’ in America” is someone else’s gig. You’re a better content creator than that person by a Kansas mile-keep it that way!
The 500s are not great, further more when so many people talk about the quality of Fiat ( which I cant deny) but the Abarath is the nicest version of em all
Ive been looking at a used 500e but i will probably wait for the 2020 soul EV now. the abarth is fine but I would be worry about repairs, however, you got a great deal.
I hated my '99 Exploder Sport. It had the same setup as Grady's. The 4WD didn't work, it was ratty, and I didn't shed a tear when the engine lived up to its nickname.
Was not expecting to hear Tail of the Dragon in this video! We took a Dodge Ram 1500 with 6 people in it on the tail and then back, and we took our scat pack through it. Still have yet to take the exp on it
JR. Its funny you came to Tennessee to get a car. The last video was with your Kawasaki bike and how there is no Ducati shops in Whitcha well you were about an hour from a shop that is owned and ran by a guy that was a Ducati factory sponsored racer and has his own shop since he retired from racing. He is a Ducati specialist and has all his bikes he raced through the years.
You bought an awesome spicy little car, you can squeeze out a very good amount of power from that 1.4 Turbo MultiAir/T-JET (F.I.R.E. based engine, one of the most reliable engine family). They're very reliable, here in Italy there are some of them with over 250.000/300.000km without issues.
Man, you were nearly in my neck of the woods. Tons of my friends ride the dragons tail several times a month. Pretty wild to hear the airport "Welcome to Knoxville".
Great little cars, the engine it's based on is the old FIRE unit and and they are super reliable. Whenever I see them in the state's though they look incongruous, small and stylish is a world of hideous trucks and SUVs. Nice to see proper suspension and the correct size wheels, 17s are available but the lead engineers at the time said that's only for aesthetics and that they perform best on 16s.
@@theotherchannel3 sorry wasn't trying to be a dick, it's just the first thing I noticed when JR got in the truck. Looks like some major smoking's been goin' on in that beast.
Certainly not the cheapest Abarth. I bought mine for $2K two years ago still under warranty, clean title. Hail damaged. Check engine light came on today. Fun little car. Check auctions for great deals on dented cars.
Scotty says, "Well you didn't pay too much and if you just leave it on your yard and don't drive it. It could last a few years of shitting on your lawn."
Lol - I was saying to myself, it’s cool looking but it’s still a Fiat. “Fix It Again Tony” First shot of dash - check engine light on. Thanks for confirming
Was at the Tail of the Dragon a couple years ago, ahead of me was a black 500 Abarth(would be hilarious if it was this guy's!!). I was in my stockish Lexus SC300/5 speed(2JZ bro lol). Man dude really knew the road and just left me for dust. I tried keeping up the first 2-3 turns but he was already pulling away and I was thinking, uhh this is insane, one wrong move and I'm either into a tree, a rock wall, or flying off a cliff. Backed off a bit and he was GONE!!!!!! Sounded modded, had a LOUD exhaust. And the VW Golf R peeps had a meet that day, was able to hang with some of them, so pretty sure it was dude knew how to f'ing drive, I was impressed.
There's a group of us out there every spring and the cars are only getting faster : ]. The weekend we went this past year there were a number of other groups out (miata, mini, porsche, audi, BMW, subarus, etc.). No one was keeping up and we did a lot of runs. It's almost like the car was built for those roads.
@@aaronbays4 modded 500 Abarths. We had 124s and some 4Cs running with us too. One of the 4Cs wrecked though. No forgiveness with mid-engined cars there once you hit oversteer.
I went to a dealership Thursday to test drive a car, it happened to be in the shop and the other car sold, so I was prepared to leave disappointed but then they’re like well we got that fiat out there that’s a manual (which is what I’m looking for a manual) and I heard bad things about fiats so I didn’t want to buy one ever but then after the test drive now here I am with a down payment on it waiting for loan approval, 2013 fiat 500 abarth with 91k miles
I am Italian and have a fairly large knowledge about 500 Abarth's, as there are many tuning products for it in Italy! Don't hesitate to send me an email or request for my email to ask for some tips and which mods to do to the Abarth!
