Abarth 595c Comparison

The Abarth 595c is the open-top version of Abarth's compact petrol hot hatch, pairing the Fiat 500-based performance formula with a folding roof and a more expressive personality. It is no longer on sale as a new model in Australia, after Abarth convertible variants were dropped locally as the range was updated. The 595c offers the same small footprint, front-wheel-drive layout and turbocharged character as the hatch, with extra open-air theatre in place of traditional sports-car practicality. Its appeal is emotional and urban: compact dimensions, assertive styling, a lively petrol engine and the ability to bring more sound and sunlight into everyday driving. It remains one of the more characterful ways into open-top Abarth motoring.
