2009 Abarth 500

The Abarth 500 (2008-2015) was the model that truly established the modern Abarth brand. Based on the retro-styled Fiat 500, the Abarth version featured a 1.4-liter T-Jet turbo engine producing 135hp, later upgraded to 140hp. The transformation included aggressive bodywork, lowered suspension, upgraded brakes, and the characteristic Abarth Record Monza exhaust. Compact, stylish, and genuinely fun to drive, it became an instant classic.

Turbo failures on early cars; clutch wear particularly if driven hard; boost pipes can split; interior rattles common; suspension bushes wear on high-mileage examples.
