This Fiat is actually 70% Mazda Miata. The 30% that Fiat has added is, in my estimation, pure Italian perfection. The head-turning body styling screams "Forza Italia!!!" and the convertible is actually well insulated and easy to operate. The acceleration, while not jarring, is brisk especially when in "Sport Mode". And quite frankly, when the top is down, I really don't want to go too fast because I like to be seen in it. And the Abarth trim exhaust has a wonderful throaty sound to it. The Brembo brake option is wonderful. The Navigation option includes the Bose audio system and the headrest speakers; I'm glad chose it. The vehicle is very tight for a convertible, especially at this price, and the ride very comfortable. The 70% base Mazda gives me the feeling of reliability and craftsmanship and the 30% Fiat has added speaks to me of class, refinement and sexiness. And that for me is a perfect combination. Bravisimo!

It is really small! Somehow after you start driving it is irrelevant because its fun. People ask what is that car? Disbelief on their faces when told a Fiat. I have a white one with a wide black stripe and red and black seats. I liked the peppy feel and sound of Abarth and got a leftover 2018 with 19 miles on it fully loaded. It's not super posh but it has most things my last car, an infinity g37 had, except power seats and power hardtop. The Bose sound system is so much fun and loud enough cruising down the road with the top down. I find the wind to be just right and just drove a 400 mile road trip from siesta key to my daughter's college in pure happiness. If you want something fun to drive, enjoy turning heads, driving something different from most cars driving by for a surprisingly fair price take one out for a test drive.

Gorgeous and just damn fun to drive. I get so many compliments on this car nearly every single day. A couple dozen more horsepower would be nice but it makes up for it with it's cornering ability. My only real complaint is the lack of a telescoping steering column. 2 year update...... Still absolutely love this car. Still get a ton of questions and compliments about it. The top had to be replaced after 25k miles due to a sagging headliner. Was covered under warranty. Now, after an additional 5I miles, it needs replaced again for the same reason. Other than that, the only other issue is with the leather on the corner of the driver's seat. It has not worn well but should be covered under warranty as well.

We have an old Fiat 124 and always wanted a new one if they made one again. What a great car this is. it is peppy and agile. It holds the road like nobody’s business. It have a great manual transmission and is a joy to drive. It is also just beautiful to look at. It is a fitting heir to our old 124. You will have a hard time finding a better roadster for the money!

I love this car, always get stares and people ask what is it? It's very fun to drive, fast, takes the curves and sexy car. No complaints really except for the electronics, nav system sucks and no apple CarPlay.

Purchased my abarth 124 spider 4 weeks ago, red with black hood & boot. I was looking for a second car something different, hadn't even thought of this model until my son suggested the abarth. We visited a local fiat dealer who had one that had just come in, not even valeted or cleaned. We looked at it, started it up, that was it - sold! The test drive was amazing. I love everything about the car, its beautiful, stylish, unusual, fast, no one else has one and sounds fantastic, also cheap to run. I didn't want a huge engined car, I've already got a 3ltr Audi so the 1400 turbo is ideal. My son loves it!! I've driven 2litre mx5 and they just don't come close to the abarth and everyone's got one! I can only recommend this beauty👌👌👌 2 years on, still loving the car, no issues at all with it, pity the U.K. roads are such a mess with pot holes , but that’s the mess we are in here 👌👌

This is a great sports car in a relatively affordable price range. The styling is great (I think better than the Miata it is based on) and while it has the Fiat turbo engine, it has a lot of Mazda parts and is also Made in Japan so long term reliability could more similar to a Mazda. The main negatives are the pretty tight cabin and really small trunk, and to some extent the lack of power. But that aside it is a fun little convertible, quite responsive with decent performance. The engine runs out of steam pretty early on, but it has good mid range torque for city driving. It seemed undertired to me as it is easy to lose traction and to slide the car around. But that can be fun too. Ideally this car needed a bit more power at least for the performance Abarth version, but for the money it is good value. MPG is really good. Ride and noise is OK, a bit stiff and not a luxury ride. Close to a vintage roadster feel overall, which is what it was designed to be.
