Abarth 595 Competizione as a daily?
Discussion
Could you lot stop it 
Fiat 500s were completely off my radar but I've just come back from 5 weeks in Tenerife and had a boggo 500 hybrid as the cheapest hire car for my whole time there.
Despite it's lowly 70bhp, I bloody loved it. Did 3000kms in it and now back in the UK and want a Competizione.
Will most likely go secondhand but I was looking at a prereg brand new 595 with a 180bhp but a Turismo.
Is that possible? I thought the Turismos were 165bhp.

My comp (with carbon dash and LSD 
) has started randomly turning the CarPlay volume down to zero when driving. You see the little red volume bar appear on the top left of the screen, and you can fight it with the volume button on the steering wheel, but it always wins. Wait a few minutes, then you can turn the volume up again. Random and annoying!

Style Pack: Natural (Bi-Xenon Headlights, Scorpion Antenna Plug, Natural Leather Interior)
This was a £750 option in 2018.

Thanks for that! It's starting to make sense now. Does look increasingly likely that it's not some weird performance pack frankencar, but just some odd option choices. Which also means no LSD Style Pack: Natural (Bi-Xenon Headlights, Scorpion Antenna Plug, Natural Leather Interior)

There can't be many around with this spec so something of a unicorn. Looks great too in the video that was posted a few pages back. I would be happy to own it myself despite no LSD.
The temptation is getting too great now.
Admittedly via an online form, a dealer has offered £9200 for my 3 year old Duster (cost £10500 new) against a 2022 Competizione priced at £20200 with 10k miles in my preferred colour of grey, no graphics, black wheels with yellow calipers, plus it looks like it's shod in pretty new Michelin pilot sports.
How does that sound?

My understanding is the 595 Turismo is 165bhp. The relatively new 695 Turismo has 180bhp.Will most likely go secondhand but I was looking at a prereg brand new 595 with a 180bhp but a Turismo.

So with 695 Turismos and Competiziones both having 180bhp what's the difference apart from the carbon backed bucket seats and the quad pipes?
Cheers for any help as I have been going through Autotrader and other ads all week and the different versions are started to make my brain spin
ETA found a new Turismo with quad pipes and nice wheels. In basic white though, mind you it'd make a good sleeper car.
