The ABARTH 595 CABRIO (2016-21) 2DR CONVERTIBLE 1.4 T-JET 180 EU6 COMPETIZIONE is a small, sporty city car with a folding fabric roof, rather than a roomy family convertible. In the UK it occupies a lively niche between everyday small cars and pricier roadsters, adding Italian character and open-air fun to compact-car practicality. Mycarcheck.com has recorded 325 checks covering 128 different VINs, giving a useful, though not complete, view of examples buyers have researched. Its checks show an average recorded mileage of 30,000 miles and around 4,000 miles driven yearly; cars averaged 1.6 previous keepers. The average private-sale valuation was £12,600, a guide rather than a guaranteed asking price. The 180-horsepower Competizione feels punchy and focused, with a distinctive exhaust note; its roof adds sunshine without losing its tiny footprint. Best for couples, enthusiasts and urban drivers wanting personality, it is less suited to families or bulky luggage than rivals.
