2021: so glad I still don’t own a fiat/Chrysler piece of junk. That whole company churns out trash. 2019: car was sent back to fiat as a lemon and replaced with a used Porsche still with warranty for almost the same price. Best move you can make, just ditch fiat. It spends a lot of time in the shop waiting for parts; like months waiting for simple parts (wish that was an exaggeration). The car looks amazing and the Abarth exhaust sounds fantastic. If you're looking for a daily driver that is fun to drive short distances, this is the car for you. It's also the car you need if you enjoy mini-vans and most every other car pulling away from you at their normal pace (unless you put the pedal down and rev the engine like crazy to catch up). It's not a fast car and all the commercials showing it blazing away are pretty much lies. With some modifications it can be pretty quick, but the stock version is asthmatic. The main issue with this car is quality. After waiting over 2 months for one part, I filed for lemon status on it and was approved (easy in CA), so Fiat is buying it back and hopefully scrapping it to make some useful toasters. Love the idea of this car, but Fiat just can't make a quality car (a very large % of the owners are experiencing parts problems), even when this is mostly a miata. The stock is VERY limited, but don't let that get used to justify overpaying for this Frankenstein (Base abarth with Automatic for 30k out the door, including all taxes/tags/etc...). It's a unique take on the miata, but I'd stay away from the 2017 version of this car (maybe Fiat will get their act together in 2018). After 9 months, my car has less than 4000 miles, mainly due to having driven the complimentary rental cars for a good portion of the year. Update 2019: 7 months of rental cars before fiat was forced to pay me back for it. For cheaper than this car I got a Porsche boxater with a year of warranty left. That makes up for buying a fiat. :)

Loved every minute of owning this car. Quick and snappy. Looked great and turned heads everywhere. Only con is that while felt quick it was really slow. A normal aspirated engine with 200+ HP would have made a real difference.

Variation on Miata with discount

Bought a 2017 124 spider today with a manual transmission. It is the base model and doesn’t have the Mazda infotainment system. I love it!! Very fun to drive and the suspension is really well tuned. Looking forward to a lot of fun drives in this car. Will update if I have any changes based on further experience. Very cool car and it seems like about $3000 discount over a comparable Miata. The engine is more useful in daily driving due to the mid line torque but i can also understand that the Miata engine would probably be more rewarding to flog to redline.
