About the Abarth 595
The Fiat Abarth 595 (312) is a charming, characterful Italian car that’s affordable to run when it’s looked after properly. With the right oils and on-time servicing it’s fun, sensible ownership — and we keep it healthy for far less than the dealer.
As a performance car the Abarth works its turbo hard, so correct oil on time and healthy cooling matter more.
