It's bright red, sounds great and, crucially, comes from Italy. It isn't a Ferrari, though. Meet the CarAdvice Abarth 595, a pocket rocket with character to burn. This is a Cars We Own diary for our own Abarth 595...
The Kia Stinger ignites passionate debate like few other cars we've driven at CarAdvice.
