The Fiat 124 Abarth is a one-trick pony. It's exceptional fun on the right road thanks to excellent handling, steering and a punchy little turbo engine that does its best work when wrung out at high revs. But beyond that, this diminutive convertible forces compromises on comfort and utility. The right buyer will love this car; most will find some other drop-top or sports car more livable.

The best sports car for the money!

2019 FIAT 124 Spider Lusso 2dr Convertible (1.4L 4cyl Turbo 6M)
Car is peppy. Interior noise level is minor for a car of this type. Styling is great! Bose sound system with sub woofer makes listening easy even with top down. Six speed manual is a gem!
Much Better Than the Miata

2020 FIAT 124 Spider Urbana Edition 2dr Convertible w/Prod. End 03/20 (1.4L 4cyl Turbo 6M)
It's a much better looking car, higher quality feel, better ride than the Miata version. The torquey turbo engine can easily be chipped for 200+ hp and 235 ft lbs of torque. Small, light, nimble. There's really nothing else like it.
Awesomely fun!

2019 FIAT 124 Spider Lusso 2dr Convertible (1.4L 4cyl Turbo 6M)
The styling on this car is awesome. It is so fun to drive. We have owned it for three months and have had no problems. My wife is 4’10 and this car is perfect for her. I’m 5’8 and have no problems. The fuel mileage is fantastic. We could not be happier.
Takes me back to Italy

2019 FIAT 124 Spider Abarth 2dr Convertible (1.4L 4cyl Turbo 6M)
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!
