Tens razão. Mas tenho medo que sejam demasiado desconfortáveis e além disso são caras.

2016 Abarth 595 Competizione review - Autocar
What is it?
Like most hot hatches, Abarth’s version of the 500 has always found the UK a happy home. The model fits very tidily and almost exclusively into its city car-sized niche, and though its sales volumes are miniscule compared to some, it remains a common enough sight in affluent towns – London in particular.
In recent years though the car has floundered somewhat under the weight of increasingly frivolous and expensive special editions. The most recent was the 695 Biposto, imported in tiny numbers in return for Golf R money. Now, at last, with the 500’s recent facelift comes a new assault on the Abarth front: the latest 595 launching in a three trim lineup with three different engine outputs.
All are based on the familiar 1.4-litre T-jet lump, with the top-spec 178bhp Competizione providing our area of focus – not least because it is the one which may now be equipped with Abarth’s current preferred power-up: a mechanical limited slip differential.
The add-on, part of a new Performance Pack that also features 17in Supersport alloy wheels and carbon shell race seats, is available exclusively for the five-speed manual gearbox. As standard, the Competizione also gets uprated Koni FSD dampers all round and a more potent Brembo braking system.
What's it like?
As part of the wider facelift, the 595 also receives a number of modest cosmetic changes throughout. None dramatically alter the Abarth’s established character, although the engineer’s claim an 18% improvement in the car’s cooling capacity thanks to that oversized air intake.
Inside, the Abarth is as racy as ever; its perceived quality helped no end by a splash of Alcantara on the steering wheel and dash. There’s carbon fibre too in the Competizione, plus the latest Uconnect infotainment system, and a new ‘sport’ panel in the instrument cluster, which alters its graphics when you shift between drive modes.
No fundamental alterations then – which is fitting for a car not fundamentally that different to drive. The same basic Abarth temperament applies: bumper-car compactness and maneuverability, brusque handling and the fierce yet patchy acceleration of a terrier gathering speed on wet grass.
The Competizione’s pricier dampers do seem a modest improvement: from memory, the car rode as if the road were made of disorganized Lego bricks, making the 595’s tight-bodied pliancy a nice surprise. Stiffness, rippling up through the dinky wheelbase and ending at the fringe, is of course still guaranteed, and so too is the 595’s snappy change of direction.
If only the new diff made its presence as keenly felt. Sadly its muted intervention is not a game changer: the car’s innate tendency to succumb understeer early is still a prevalent theme, as is an apparent immunity to throttle adjustment. In straight lines, there’s sufficient headline power to live up the Competizione’s flagship claim, although all too often the pokiness seems spread unfairly thin by the gearbox’s long ratios.
Should I buy one?
If the though has ever occurred to you in the past ten years, there’s really nothing to stop you because – minor enhancements aside – this feels much like the same car Abarth has always turned out. Fiat like to think of the Mini Cooper as the arch enemy – but the lead established with BMW’s investment appears insurmountable.
Instead the 595’s standard attributes apply: its idiosyncratic looks and cabin make it desirable, and its succinct proportions means it fits perfectly into an urbanites’ imagination. The promise of kinetic handling and traffic light potency remain the icing on top. The new model ensures that continues; its comparatively high price and Fiat’s developmental lethargy will ensure the audience stays small.
