@Honda 250 ahhh I understand it, you had a collision with a car that's just not you're taste and that's ok but at the same time you became an expert about it's reliability and quality but never owned one? I see a lot of cars not my taste but can't judge them on the looks or damage by accident.
Had one for a year, sold it. Regretted it sooner than expected and I bought an other one 5 month ago. Best decision ever. It's a car that needs some modification to show its full potential, but once they're done you've got a daily driving rally car!!
@@FlyingBeast009 Well I'd say the most important thing is chassis and suspension, front and rear strut bars, and coilovers. Those mods will make the car stiffer and reduce the understeer, and you'll be able to put down more power on the front train. Secondly a cold air intake and a steel dumpvalve are quite useful and to finish I'd recommend a sport cat + full tube exhaust to unleash a little bit more power. A Biposto Solenoid to maintain constant and nice boost then a nice remap and that's it!
I bought mine new in 2012.. Still got it till this day. Incredibly reliable and fun. Also I never see any on the road so it's nice to drive a rare beauty.. mines red and black.
Had one of these for 4 years. Absolutely loved it, second car I ever owned. Never saw another one in person until I went all the way down to Brooklands and met with 8 others 🤣 Upgraded mine a little and remapped it but eventually fancied something a little faster and got a DS3 Racing 🔥
Hell yeah, don’t get many people doing videos on these, I picked mine up for £2495 a year ago, fully loaded with all extras apart from leather seats. Best car I’ve ever owned.
@@OG-97 i do think they look nicer. but after owning 2 cars with leather recaro's i never want to own a full leather seat again. fucking burns and sweats like hell.
Not only the abarth ( altough thats the ultimate dream for any fiat or alfa owner ). The regular 1.4T-Jet with a exhaust mod makes it amazing. For the people that want to be economical theres the 1.9JTD sport with its 131 HP ( like the mk1 GT punto ).
This is a follow on series from the ‘owning a’ series I did a few years back, you know were people kept on saying because I didn’t own the cars I couldn’t put that in the title
Might get this as a second car, for me I went for the fiat punto evo sporting, same engine, slightly smaller turbo and less power but a remap gets it back up a bit and being a non arbath punto it's a bit of a sleeper as people don't expect it to be as fast as it is, might just get a bigger turbo and continue surprising people rather than getting the arbath as there's a big insurance difference
I wanted one of these as a second car, issue is for the 9k you're spending on one with decent miles (if you can find one!) you can get an s3 with the same milage

Trilogy Media go skippy church hill or even less if u have it with a black box. It is £5K a year for the G.T.O I had that’s a 3 litre twin turbo v6... depends on where you live and I drove a company car too and live rural so it’s cheap... my mates own BMW’s 335i
worst bit about watching that is I needed a new car after my old car decided to die on me recently and I did actually see a standard Abarth Punto going for around the 5900 mark but I initially dismissed it thinking "Abarth, I'll never be able to afford the running of that thing"...later that day I'm being handed the keys to a bog standard Fiat Punto
My old car! I had a Grande Punto Abarth EsseEsse my09 for almost 2 years. I really loved that car! My Punto, compared to the Punto Evo, had the T-JET Engine (The Evo haves the MultiAir) that it’s more ECU-tune friendly. Mine was remapped to 220HP without replace anything (And the Engine had almost 220K km!) I really loved that car. For 5000€ it’s a perfect project car. But if you want to pay even less, buy the Grande Punto Sport from FIAT. The engine it’s the same. I miss that car, really underrated.
Yes they have the same engine, I have the evo 135 sport but only the camshaft is different. Not anymore now and with some mods and a perfect 70 mm gtech exhaust now 215 hp 330 nm. I understand why you mis that car. The sound of that engine is just brilliant and for such engine displacement very very very fast. Well handled and maintained they run forever.
i had one, loved it very much but the multiair valve filter in the engine is a serious weakspot and failed on me twice. mine was modded ofc, gtech full exhaust line, intake bmc, the popular headlights with the daydrive leds, chipped etc it was pushing 210hp & 350nm. it was a absolute joy to drive and have fun in. in a way i miss the car but i wanted more power and rear wheel drive so the bmw m140i is the logical next step
The sport buttons on these are similar to that on the Fiat Panda 100HP. Night and day difference on the throttle response and heavier steering. I guess it’s just a fiat map that they like to throw in
They are very rare I think they made around 200ish in right hand drive? I think anyhow. But people just preferred the "cute angry" look of the abarth 500s
I looked at buying one as my second car with 1 years no claims at 20 and my insurance was £2800 and I asked why it was so much for a 1.4 and they said due to them being really rare the insurance price is high, which put me off as I was getting quotes similar/cheaper for an ED30 or golf r
I have a question regarding the punto evo abarth or generally any abarth: is it possible to get one, either the punto evo abarth or any other abarth (preferably the punto evo abarth) with four passenger doors? I really like your accent btw.
Bought first car focus mk2... but was looking for grande punto. Next probably will be punto. No idea why but this car have something. Abarth versions specially :) But Abarth have one big minus.. 180 hp... and you dont feel it. 8 seconds to 100/62? Like for that small car is little bit too heavy.. but even this doesnt explain where is that power.
The one thing against them is they are about same price as a fiesta ST and im not sure id have one over a fiesta ST or not even having driven both i think id be buying the ST bit there nice cars though!
@@mattws5784 quite like the MK8 it looks far for modern interior wise ive just not had the fortune to drive one yet to see how they compare but they seem quite quick for a 1.5 3cyl
that small whine you get is that turbo on the way out, the Same happened to my 1.4 Fiat Punto Sporting which has the same engine just detuned. After I mapped it to about 160bhp its whined then died. sent shrapnel straight into the engine and killed the car
Stephen French lol no they all make that noise but is louder / quieter depending on air filter / induction mods etc 😉 also your sporting has a slightly different style engine to this as well as different turbo 😊
@@drewmacarthur6361 correct drew, as evo sport owner, mine wisles loud to and stock they have a bit smaller Garrett turbo and other camshaft. Not anymore now🤣
I know comment is old asf but it all happened because you put the power of Abarth (160) meant for garret turbo on weak IHI stock turbo system, that's why it sent shrapnel, 130-140 is max for stock
If i can suggest something else.... Young drivers, get a 1.4 multi air. The fiat, not the abarth. Drive it for a few years and safe money until insurance gets cheaper for you, then, mod it. Its the same engine as in the lower spec abarth models and can handle 150-200hp easily. Buying a car like this young could drive you into financial Problems pretty quickly, depending on where you live.

zachary clowes to be fair I had a punto t jet for my first car , mapped to 155 bhp and 190lbs ft at 17 I was paying 2k insurance with no black box. Was a cracking little pile of shit to drive 👍
sam gaskell try a few places not on comparison websites; direct line, a-plan and sometimes 1st central doesn’t show up but they’ve been the cheapest for me. As others have said, totally depends on the area you live, if I put my car 2 roads over I can drop my insurance by £75 a year because there’s a sharp corner notorious for crashing by my house, but I’d rather be covered and pay the extra £75.
Gavin Ivers actually it did sell in italy and they were insane. The problem is that people would rather spend 30k on a Golf or Polo GTI with the exact same quality in material than spend 25k on an Abarth Punto just because Volkswagen has a „good“ reputation. People are just going with the flow. Fiat has always produced great cars for the mass but never really got a good reputation because of german carreviews. That‘s most of the why they didn‘t sell.
@@Gioseph65 that's true, and a lot of people think that the quality of those cars is stil 1985 or something like that. And never heard about abarth. A whatttt? Is mostly the answer😂😂
Shame more didnt come with those Sabelt as they were stupid price brand new .....even now they are £1500 brand new .....if you can find Punto Sabelt as they are slightly different from the 500
just ignore this cashgrab if you see this video and look around for grande punto 1.4 16v should do the job. Both fiat and abarth got the same undercarriage and its shite no matter the engine ( difference between both Abarth and Fiat lines ). This guy is just shilling people thats all. Make sure that suspension or oil leakbwasnt advisory, nor the ball joints. The state of of some of the Fiats on thearket is appalling, just check the MOT online lads

sam gaskell few variables really mate. Insurance prices fluctuate throughout the year. Things like where you live also matter.
sam gaskell try a few places not on comparison websites; direct line, a-plan and sometimes 1st central doesn’t show up but they’ve been the cheapest for me. As others have said, totally depends on the area you live, if I put my car 2 roads over I can drop my insurance by £75 a year because there’s a sharp corner notorious for crashing by my house, but I’d rather be covered and pay the extra £75.
Why they didn't sell?
Possibly the same reason the Uno Turbo didn't sell back in the '80's....
Gavin Ivers actually it did sell in italy and they were insane. The problem is that people would rather spend 30k on a Golf or Polo GTI with the exact same quality in material than spend 25k on an Abarth Punto just because Volkswagen has a „good“ reputation. People are just going with the flow. Fiat has always produced great cars for the mass but never really got a good reputation because of german carreviews. That‘s most of the why they didn‘t sell.
@@Gioseph65 that's true, and a lot of people think that the quality of those cars is stil 1985 or something like that. And never heard about abarth. A whatttt? Is mostly the answer😂😂
Nico Ooms I swear this is so sad.. because especially the Abarth models are extremely good Fiat-based cars for the money you spend
Where can you get them headlights?
Total Tuning Venezia on Facebook
i wish if insurance wasn’t like £3000 a year

Shame more didnt come with those Sabelt as they were stupid price brand new .....even now they are £1500 brand new .....if you can find Punto Sabelt as they are slightly different from the 500
They are different only esthetically but yes they cost too much
@@LorenzoClara97 seat rails are different .....the Mito Sabelt fit the Punto though
Anyone know where to order that radio head unit?
I’ve got a punto evo but I need some info on those headlights and that stereo upgrade. Anyone that can help?
Found the headlights, made by Total Tuning Venezia it seems.
If you listen closely you'll hear this thing explode.
How strange I was literally looking at these yesterday 😂
was just thinking that haha
Anyone have a link to those headlights ?
I was looking at 1 of these ...insurance with 1 year no claims £3600 😢
With one year no claims and 3 points just shy of 1500 for me 😂
What is the song name at the begin?
Where to get the front lip of this one
Wheels model ?
I had one for nearly four years loved every part of it, still don't know why I let it go, infact it was TMC's own car very well built.......🥰
just ignore this cashgrab if you see this video and look around for grande punto 1.4 16v should do the job. Both fiat and abarth got the same undercarriage and its shite no matter the engine ( difference between both Abarth and Fiat lines ).
This guy is just shilling people thats all.
Make sure that suspension or oil leakbwasnt advisory, nor the ball joints. The state of of some of the Fiats on thearket is appalling, just check the MOT online lads
