I really like the Punto Abarth, looks like it could out handle and over power the 500. On the other hand tho it is heavier??
So which one is better?? Performance and handling wise?

500 has the looks
but i recon the same punto will win
I love the evo abarth
500 Abarth. You can pretty much chip them to 200hp these days without that much expense, and if you swap the turbo for the same one as the Punto, then you've got exactly the same engine and can have the same power output but in a lighter car.
Handling wise I'm not so sure, but the 500 Essesse convertible on TG the other night managed to outrun and outhandle even a Clio 197, so it can't be that bad tbh.
Definitely 500 Abarth + chip

Matt, just remember who was driving that Clio at the time. I'm not one to support the like of the French, but I've seen May's driving in real life.
grande punto abarth
drove them both and had a gp 130hp sport diesel for 2years
and for sure the gp have better handling!
500abarth u see more, because it has the looks.
gp abarth sits better, more space, ...
Been watchin afew vids on YouTube, seems the 500 does out handle the evo punto, going back to Stoke to have a test drive this time, must agree tho the the evo punto looks amazing! The only thing that put me off the 500 wasthe interior, dnt really like it and I'm not too keen on the dials either
Right went to Stoke to have a test drive of the 500 abarth but the car wasn't there even tho I booked it the day before, so will be driving it on Friday instead, I asked the sales person there which one was better handling and he did say the 500 was better.
Does anyone on here have the ss kit?? Is it really worth it? Or is it better to wait for different packages to come out?
Ss kit takes it to 160bhp but sanspeed do a kit that takes it to 200bhp, not sure on the price tho
