The Abarth 595 is undoubtedly keen to draw a smile on the driver’s face, no matter how short the journey is. It’s entertainingly loud and fast in a straight line but it’s not the best-handling hot hatch and living with the poor driving position is a big compromise to consider.

We think it's worth upgrading to the top trim, which adds a few more modern conveniences over the entry-level 595.

The Abarth 595's petrol engine produces 165bhp for a 0-62mph time of 7.3 seconds.
