2021 Abarth 595 Competizione 70th Anniversary Hatchback

Description

This little 2021 Abarth 595 is a proper track-ready hatch with a punchy 1.4 T-Jet engine and a real sports feel. It’s got all the bits you’d expect from a proper Abarth – sharp styling, a 7-inch touchscreen with navigation and Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a 7-inch TFT cluster with sports mode. The interior is all anthracite grey with Alcantara on the dash cover and leather and carbon trim on the steering wheel.

It’s got electrically adjustable mirrors, heated windows, and a split 50:50 rear seat that folds down easily. The wheels are 17-inch alloys, dark tinted rear windows, and there’s a dual-mode Monza exhaust with four tailpipes. I’ve had it in and out of the snow a few times, so it’s got good winter-ready bits – like ABS, EBD, ASR, hill hold, and a TPMS system.

It’s got a lot of smart bits: parking sensors, LED day running lights, power steering with sport mode, and a Uconnect system with DAB, USB, and audio streaming. The brakes are Brembo with red calipers, and the shocks are Koni – feels solid on the road.

I’ve been using it mostly for weekend drives and short trips around Invergarry, Highland – it’s been great for the hills and winding roads. It’s not flashy, but it’s got real driving presence.

I’ve kept it well-maintained, and it’s been through regular servicing. The price is £15,295.50 – not bad for a car that’s been driven smartly and kept in good shape.

I’m not selling it because I’m moving, just because I’ve found a better fit for my needs now. If you’re into driving, performance, and a bit of that Italian soul, this one’s for you.
