The Abarth 595C Competizione wasn’t really planned as a test car, but that doesn’t make it less fun! So we reserved the Jeep Gladiator and a week before testing that giant we got a message telling us the Gladiator couldn’t be picked up. But no worries, they had a substitute in the form of an Abarth 595C Competizione. Avanti!

Entry-level versus high-end hot hatch. Fun versus hardcore performance pocket rocket. Cute versus cool little bomb. Knife versus nuke. 30k versus a 100k. I'll stop now.
