Fiat 500 Abarth 1.4 Turbo Esseesse road test
Fiat’s new 500 is about the cutest and most desirable city car on sale. Following the re-launch of the famous Italian tuning brand in 2008, this even newer Abarth version is no cuter, but for keen drivers and committed petrolheads the ‘small but wicked’ 500 could prove utterly irresistible.

Fuel consumption is 43.4mpg combined with CO2 emissions at 155g/km for both the standard Abarth and the Esseesse-kitted version. Insurance is group 13U for the standard car and 14U for the Esseesse. Totting everything up on the options list could mean adding almost £3,500 to the £13,600 otr price. Throw in that £2,500 for the Esseesse pack and you could theoretically be looking at the best part of £20k for what’s a essentially a small city car! But this Abarth is so much more than a city car, and I suspect that in the current climate that it may well attract buyers who might otherwise have spent double that or more on a bigger performance car that’s ultimately less exciting to drive, and much less cute.
