2018 FIAT 124 Spider Abarth 2dr Convertible (1.4L 4cyl Turbo 6M)

Update after 12 months per request from Edmunds- The car continues to break in and now is much different and better than when I bought it. The exhaust sounds keeps getting better and engine performance has improved. Professional Reviewers would have a better viewpoint if they drove one that is broken in. Still is rock solid, not a single issue. The Recaro seats are very comfortable but it is still a tight cabin. I’m 5;8’ so it is fits me perfectly. I keep my cars in an air conditioned garage so that makes them better so that may help how this performs. I love this thing. My local Fiat dealer just closed so we have to wonder how long Fiat is for the USA. Thus, I’m glad I got this car while it is available. I also see some fully loaded Abarth versios that are very depreciated with very low miles so they are a steal for anyone. But because it seems Fiat in the USA is going away perhaps these will be harder to come by in the future so I’m glad I have one. This version is still very rare to see so it is nice to be driving something that is very different. Original review- I’ve now owned and driven this car for 6 months. First of all this car is a blast to drive. I’ve owned a variety of sports cars and this car is a fun as any of them but more beautiful than almost anything out there. I have to pause every time I walk up to it. What a design job! Pictures of it don’t do it justice. It is odd how in person the nose looks much longer, bolder and sexier than any photos-I don’t know how that happens. Also, this car is rock solid. I didn’t expect that but I’ve also owned a Tacoma and this car feels as solid as that, which doesn’t seem to make sense. Absolutely nothing has failed on it so build quality seems very high which I wasn’t sure of when I bought it. I rate the comfort high given what it is- a roadster. The top level trim seats are very comfortable. However, I don’t think the car is made for 4 hour drives. It is made for shorter drives or mountain foothills (l live on a curvy foothill) but I use it whenever I can for around town because it is simply so much fun to drive. I rated performance a 4/5 because it is true it could have more power but it is plenty for my needs. You can probably pass almost anyone if you want. The engine sound is fantastic. It took 2-3000 miles to break in but now broken in it it even more fun. It seems this car is a secret because it took me 6 months to see another one on the road and I live close to a Fiat dealer.

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!

Fantastic Fiat

2018 FIAT 124 Spider Lusso 2dr Convertible (1.4L 4cyl Turbo 6M)
17 of 18 people found this review helpful
The Mazda guts are evident in this car and that’s a good thing.The Lusso handles great, looks fantastic and is a blast to drive. Great soft top with added sound deadening to make for a quiet interior when needed. Turbo lag takes a bit to get used to but once you drive the car a bit you learn to increase the revs in 1st and then then enjoy that turbo boost. Safety package is a great add to the Lusso.Can’t say enough about the way this car drives.

I owned and daily drove my Porsche Boxster for 6 years and loved the car. What I didn't love was the price of maintenance, parts, tires, and brakes. The Porsche was a great car, don't get me wrong, but with a Porsche, you are paying for the ability to do 165 mph and everything in the car is designed to that ability (meaning spec tires, brakes, etc. are $$$). And in six years of ownership, I took the car into triple digits only one single time. I paid those prices for a capability I'm never going to use. Meanwhile, this little 124 gives me just as much fun driving dynamic at speeds that won't land me in jail. And the expected maintenance costs should be next to nothing given so much of it under the skin is Mazda. It's nice to not have to spend so much energy worrying about my car ending up costing me more than I can afford to repair. One last thought. Before I owned my Porsche, I drove a Honda S2000. I never thought I'd drive a car with a manual transmission as enjoyable as the S2000. This Fiat comes really close. This is one of the best sticks I've ever driven at any price.
