Cheers yes it is fantastic and I’ll probably be kicking myself as it is totally hassle free like a new car

They are indeed superb cars to drive, and this model with the Koni shocks is 10 times better than the other models. I bought one like this for my wife (has a massive 4k miles on it now after 4 years :lol: ). She had a standard Abarth before and didn't want another one as the ride was so bad.

This model however is so much better so she went for another one.

The Monza exhaust is so loud that it sets the alarm off from the car next to it in the garage on a good day :lol:

Ha ha....I guess that was the 160hp model too as they changed to 180 or 177 whatever it is officially, it got xenons too, not sure if the brakes changed but they are brembo on mine.

Flimper what made you get a comp? Is it alongside a z4? How do you find the abarth? Preference on the abarth or z4 or just two different types of car totally

I guess yours is the same model as mine? Must admit I went to look at a zed today on the drive there and back about 30 miles I’m wondering why change...I’ve got an option on a Audi TTS off the Mrs too which to be honest is a lot cheaper than a zed and it’s mega car 272hp Quattro pretty dam mint and obviously I know it’s meticulously looked after and we have had it over 3 years ...anyway if my car abarth doesn’t sell I’m driving an abarth forever :rofl:

Indeed the same model, few years younger but also with The sun roof which is great.

Had a standard Abarth first as a runabout which I really liked, upgraded to the Comp as wanted it to be a bit more special, got the tan half leather sabelts which was a deal breaker. Yes still have the Z4MC and it's 50/50 which I take for the Sunday morning blast at the moment, which tells you just how good the Abarth is. And have I mentioned the sound from the Monza 😍

Beautiful I so very nearly got the exact same one it was for sale in Newbury private sale very well looked after very nice chap who owned it but it was on an auction and I just wanted to go buy it after a viewing but he was letting the auction run it had one bid all the way through hence he thought it unfair to a bidder to sell me it, I did not want to go through the auction, it also had tan sabelts looked very nice although it was double the mileage of mine and I got mine at what I would call a very good if not too low price been honest.
