What does it cost?
For It's the cheaper of the two Abarth models – by quite a way – and it doesn't miss anything in luxury kit compared to the more expensive Esseesse version.
Against You don't get quite as much performance as you do in the Esseesse version.
What Car? says
This is the Abarth you want. OK, it's not as fast as the Esseesse, but it's plenty quick enough and it's thousands cheaper.
