The ABARTH 595 CABRIO (2021-) is a tiny, sporty convertible based on the Fiat 500, bringing open-air motoring to the UK city-car market. Its compact size makes it easy to park and thread through busy streets, while its distinctive styling gives it more presence among small city cars on sale. It’s best suited to couples, commuters and drivers who want a fun second car rather than family-sized practicality: the rear seats and boot are limited. The folding roof adds sunshine and theatre, and the Abarth’s lively, characterful drive feels more energetic and engaging than many rivals, including standard small convertibles. mycarcheck.com has recorded 133 checks across 93 distinct VINs, a snapshot rather than a reliability verdict. Those cars averaged £17,900 in private-sale value and 18,000 miles, with 6,000 miles added yearly and 0.67 previous keepers. That suggests many are lightly used, though buyers should check each car’s history and condition.
