2017 Abarth 595 1.4 T-Jet Hatchback 3dr Petrol Manual Euro 6 (145 ps)

Description

Got this one from a local garage in Bolton, Greater Manchester — it’s a proper Abarth, not some showroom flash. The 2017 595 1.4 T-Jet with the manual gearbox and 145ps is actually quite a bit better than it looks on paper. I drove it a few times and it’s sharp, responsive, and the driving feel is right up there with the original spirit of the model.

It’s had a full service history, which I found reassuring — everything’s been looked after properly. Comes with a brand new 12-month MOT, and they’ve got a solid warranty in place (can go up to 36 months if you want). The car’s fully FCA-approved for finance, so if you're thinking of buying it with a loan, that’s covered.

Inside, it’s got that classic Abarth look — racing cockpit, 5-inch touchscreen with Bluetooth and USB, DAB, and a TFT instrument cluster. The seats are height-adjustable, front and passenger, with memory settings. The 16-inch alloy wheels are 8-spoke anthracite, and there’s a lot of satin chrome detail throughout. All the windows and mirrors are electric, and there’s a fix-and-go puncture kit in the boot.

Safety’s not cut corners here — ABS, airbags all around (even side and passenger), EBD, ASR, hill hold, and a TPMS system. The dashboard is body-colour, with leather-bound steering wheel and a racing steel pedal set. It’s got a sport button, dual-drive with sport mode, and the power steering’s electric-assisted.

I’ve had a look at the customer reviews — not a lot of complaints, mostly people who just love the driving experience. The garage has three qualified mechanics on site, and they’re open 7 days a week, including weekends. They’ll even do out-of-hours appointments if you need it.

It’s not just about the car — it’s about having a real, honest experience. I’ve seen a few of these around, but this one feels like it’s been treated well. The price is £7,645.50, which is fair for what it is — a bit of a niche gem in the hatchback world.

If you’re thinking of swapping it in, they’ll take your old car too. And it’s all on their site — just a quick browse if you’re interested.

Honestly, if you like a bit of sporty character without going full rally, this one’s worth a look.
