Based on the hugely popular Fiat 500 city car, the 595 gets more power and aggressive looks courtesy of the Italian brand’s in house tuner, Abarth.
-
On smooth surfaces the small and nimble 595 darts through corners with loads of grip and barely any body roll, but throw a few bumps and potholes into the mix (any UK road basically) and the Abarth gets a bit hyperactive.
-
Inside, the Abarth gets all the sporty additions you’d expect. There are high-backed bucket seats for the driver and passenger, a chunky three-spoke steering wheel, aluminium finished pedals and natty turbo boost gauge tacked onto the side of the instrument binnacle.

The boot is tiny, with a capacity of 185-litres - the much cheaper, and externally not much bigger VW up! GTI provides 250-litres.
