Nicola Hume's Fiat 500 is a little long in the tooth. It's served her well for three years, but its lack of performance, cabin space and refinement is beginning to grate, and what was once a love affair with the dinky Italian icon has become a tiresome, drawn out relationship. It's time for Nicola to upgrade, and while she has her heart set on the brilliant new Kia Sportage, we wanted to find out if it was possible to rekindle her love for Fiat's supermini by lending her the altogether more serious Abarth 595. Can its racier design and peppy performance win her over?
