This car is very sporty and low to the ground but is very comparable in style and performance to Mazda Miata while still holding its own in terms of feeling and comfort and design.

Heard a lot of reliability issues with the Fiat brand. With 6000 miles in..it's been flawless. Super fun to drive for the money. If you are looking for a weekend/2nd car..then this is it! Wish it had 200+hp and hardtop roof option, other than that, I love the car!

2nd car to my Maserati

I have an older Maserati 2 seater convertible and have always had exotic 2 seaters, the first a Facel Vega HK 500. I was considering a used Ferrari but the things have gotten to be like Ford Mustangs, they just keep getting bigger and bigger...now they're huge and just too way too much electronics. I wanted a simple sports car that was fun to drive and had a decent clutch and 5 or 6 speed transmission with recaro seats and bun-warmers for starting out on cold days. A good stereo was also on my list as well as bright headlights. This thing met all those requirements and was available with adaptive headlights + a Bose 7 speaker stereo. It has a good cruise control and I use it for a daily driver. Will keep it, like all my cars, until I tire of looking at it - that is usually about 25 years. I still have by '93 Toyota Tacoma extend-cab. The Maserati is an '87. Wish I hadn't sold my '71 Triumph Daytona a few years ago, didn't ride anymore - but still miss just looking at it. After 2 years, I waited 14 months for the Abarth to be delivered with all my mods; a 6 speed, racing stripe, Recaros with bunwarmers and pinstripes, Momo steering wheel to match and all the perfect Abart goodies. Brembo brakes, Koni shocks, Borrani Exhaust, the Abarth wheels,sway bars and turbo charger. Time and again I was told by my Chrysler-Fiat dealer that my order had been lost by Abarth and I should take a Fiat 124 from the lot, but I said “No” and waited. All of the fussiness from Modena, the extra $3,000 for the pinstripe that cannot be waxed, or barely touched these are the things we love. And the soft red paint I ordered - it looks wonderful, but I have had to have three touchups already because of things that would normally not even left marks on hard paint at costs of over $2K each time. This is what makes a valuable collector car later on and runs a company out of business. Only about 500 of these were made in 3 years, a 10th were manual. Only 50 had the racing stripe. Guess how many had the racing stripe, were red and were manual? And had Recaro seats with bun warmers? Mine is a keeper and it will someday be sold at Mecum. Probably by my kid when I croak. In the meantime, I’m having fun. And it is not a Fiat…it’s an Abarth, at least mine is.

I love this car, and have used it to replace three motorcycles. I enjoy driving with top down (Southern California is all year), day or night. My wife and I find excuses to take it for a spin. People young and old complement it, and it has been flawless in a year of ownership. Thank you Mazda for making it, Fiat for designing it, and I love the turbo engine and gearbox, it non stop reliable fun.
