Used Abarth 595 for Sale in Stoke-on-Trent

About the Abarth 595

The Abarth 595 is a three-door hatchback built on the Fiat 500 platform, produced in Italy by Fiat's performance division. It is a small, sharply styled car aimed at buyers who want Fiat 500 looks with a sportier edge, and it sits above the standard 500 in the range. The examples listed here date from 2013 and 2014, a period when the 595 was current and widely available on the used market.

The engine most used buyers will meet is the 1.4-litre T-Jet petrol unit, which uses a turbocharger and in this application produces 160 PS in the Turismo versions. That gives the car a lively, eager feel for its size. The Turismo trim adds sporty styling touches and a more focused setup than the basic car. Some examples are fitted with an automated manual gearbox, badged as Turismo AUTO, which suits drivers who prefer not to use a clutch pedal in town but can feel less smooth than a conventional manual.

Owners tend to praise the 595's character, its compact dimensions for city parking, its distinctive design and its enjoyable handling. The trade-offs are a firm ride and a fairly small interior, with limited rear space and boot capacity, so it suits one or two people better than a family of four.

When checking a used example, look for a full service history, particularly on the turbo petrol engine and the timing system, and ask whether the clutch and gearbox have been maintained, especially on the automated version. Check the bodywork for stone chips and corrosion, and test the electrics and dashboard controls. A test drive will show whether the car suits you.
