2017 FIAT 124 Spider Overview, Reviews, Ratings & Specs

I had a Miata a few years back and was ready for my "last" sports car. I drove a new Miata and was very impressed. A few days later I drove a new Spider, and I was in love! The interior had numerous nice refinements over and above the Miata. The styling is awesome as is the power and handling. Sure, you can "soup it up" pretty easily with aftermarket chips but as is, it's tops! Over 20,000 miles and it's still a blast to drive. It should be either #1or #2 "best" sports car in the world, but "they" keep comparing it to Mustangs, Dodge Chargers, etc. COME ON people...!?

The fiat is a fun car to drive over short distances with the top down. It handles the curves beautifully and accelerates in a way to get your heart pounding. One of the major problems is that people hate you in that car and try to cut you off and race you.

Without doubts in a good car, has an unmatched design, its performance is magnificent and its interior very comfortable, I do not regret having bought it

I love the handling of this car. I can take turns fast and it stays on track like it sticks to the road. It gets good gas mileage. I have never had any maintenance issues with it. The only things I do not like I have to take it to a certified fiat dealer for some system updates, and in the winter the car fogs easily so you always have to keep it on defrost instead of heat aimed at the feet and hands. But it still keeps the car very warm.

Great performance and speed. Great handling around turns. Small car but still has decent storage and trunk space. The cup holders are a little awkward to reach. The roof is fairly easy to put up and down. Heats and cools very well but windows fog constantly in the winter unless you have defrost on most of the time.

I love the way my 124 spider handles, and I love the manual transmission. I haven't had any mechanical problems yet, but the electronics seem a little wonky. The alarm will go off for no reason, the audio/video screen will shut down or freeze sometimes. The biggest problem with the car, and also part of its charm, is it is size. Passenger seat is incredibly cramped.

My vehicle is great and I only had it for 2 months. Performance is great. I love the turbo engine. It is reliable and user friendly. I am so still learning all the amazing features on the vehicle. The convertible top is very user-friendly as well. The fiat is very comfortable.

I have had my car for 2 years and have only had one problem with the electronic ignition switch. She has been reliable and fun to drive! Love my car!
