Not a fan of white cars but that looks spot on!

Good choice, enjoy. Turn the fancy diff off and enjoy the torque steer

The fancy diff is off as standard although when you select TTC it also turns off (not fully I'm led to believe) the traction control.

I can't turn my diff off but I've also not actually pressed the TTC button I can't actually figure out if the electronic "diff" still works with the mechanical diff as there's nothing in the documentation and nothing online.

I traded in my Boxster 3.4s for a compitizone. Loving it .Nice sound at legal speeds. I would say 180 hp is the way to go on one of these.

Not driven either of the new Turismo or Competizione yet but thinking of getting a bright yellow Comp as the wife's daily (she's currently got a Smart Brabus but we just got a place more out of town, in the country, hence wanted something "slightly" bigger but still lots of fun).

She's quite petite, am I right in thinking the Competizione Sabelt seats are not height adjustable? I see they do a leather option which shows as height adjustable for £150.00, would this be worth going for or would it detract from the whole Comp "experience"?

Also, any experience with any good Abarth dealers/deals etc??

Cheers

Correct they are not height adjustable. Without trying you just won't know.

I don't think the leather seats are as nice as the buckets but they are fully adjustable.

So I picked up the car today! Ran it around all day to finish the Christmas shopping. I'm absolutely smitten by it and it's a hell of a lot of fun!





Also managed a small Costco/Tesco run including a huge bag of dog food and it exceeded my expectations

Now that is a nice Christmas present to yourself! Looks really nice with the red touches. You just need to remove the works sticker and you're sorted.

You know, I never even noticed the sticker until you mentioned it. Even said to OH I was surprised that it didn't have one

Pretty car!
