]]> Comment on Abarth 500C takes its top off in glorious Goodwood sunshine by snowgood http://www.abarthisti.co.uk/magazine/2010/07/abarth-500c-at-the-goodwood-moving-motor-show/comment-page-1/#comment-231 snowgood Fri, 29 Oct 2010 16:29:22 +0000 http://www.abarthisti.co.uk/magazine/?p=181#comment-231 Interesting stuff. We saw the Abarth 500 display at the Silverstone Classic Car weekend. We sat in a bi-colour 500C, and went home to check out the car at Vospers in Plymouth. I'm sorry but I can't agree with the folk above, we have a 6 speed paddleshift BMW135 M Sport coupe. The BMW gearbox is awesome, the abarth's is simply dreadful. I'd buy one tomorrow if it had a manual gearbox, but the jerky shift in the 500C is simply loathsome. Oh, and why would want massive bangs every time you shift with the paddles, I know I don't. So if Fiat are reading this get a proper 6 speed manual in here pronto, and you can be sure I'll buy one straight away. Interesting stuff.

And as for the price, i think its abit too steep for 10 extra bhp and if you add on the ss kit and extras your gonna be paying around £20.000 plus,which i believe will out price alot of young buyers who abarth are aiming the car at!! I have an agp ss at the mo and are more than happy with it so this car will have to be really special to make me wanna give it up!! Nice wheels though and welcomed fuel economy savings.

Similarly, the interior upgrades get the thumbs up. Thankfully you can turn off the stop-start, which if you couldn't would have single-handedly prevented me buying it. Technology most of us can live without thanks. That said - I won't be changing my existing Punto Abarth anytime soon, as the price-hike coupled with that minging front-end (silly grin) are enough to put me off....although the extra 10BHP and better economy would be welcome...

Lots to do and see and the weather was hot hot HOT! The Abarth stand was very cool however and the new 500C and Punto Evo looked great too...can't wait for next year!

The bumpers ruin it and are so ugly I would really have to think twice about whether I would replace my current Punto Abarth with the new model. Likewise I was expecting more of a power hike with the Multi Air engines, they are capable of better than 165bhp and I had hoped we might have been offered the bigger Giulietta motor. By contrast the new wheels are sensational and the side profile of the car is excellent; so why make the back and front look like a diesel shunter locomotive?
