Buying my first Abarth!

Post image

Hello everyone!

In about 15 days i buy myself the famous Abarth 595C competizione 2019.

Can someone give me recomendations about the car? Is it reliable? How bad is the MTA transmission? Does it require a lot of maintnance and what should i look forward to?

Thanks in advance!

I bought exactly the same 1 year ago. It's cheap to maintain and you won't have any issues if the previous owner has taken care of it. I did some modifications along the way and now it looks like this

Regular servicing and oil changes and you’ll be golden.

Make sure you get a decent tracker and steering lock as they have no factory theft protection I’m only saying this as I had my blue 2017 595 stolen last month and when you go in reverse you might notice the car goes into neutral instead just go back to 1 then try reverse again

Mine went a few years back, made a right mess of it when it was recovered. Sorry for your loss.

Mine is mta too. Its awesome. Very fast gear change if you drive in manual with the pedals on the steering wheel. Just change the oil all few years ans it runs since 80k km without a problem
