The MX-5 currently looks like a car designed to market to Ken dolls. The 124 however gives you classic Italian-s**y roadster lines, staying true to its roots while also providing a smile a mile, especially on twisty roads. It has a slghtly bigger trunk than a MX-5, slightly less interior noise, less oomph at low end speed but more once the turbo spins up. The soft top goes up and down with amazing ease. It gives plenty of feedback to the driver. All in all if you want a roastet for club racing the miata is probably the better choice but if you want one for normal driving use, the looks and sheer joy of shredding roads with a 124 simply can not be beat for its price. I highly recommend this car.

Open top motoring has not died yet.
The spider is a fantastic driver’s car, an enthusiast’s dream. Although the base trim only offers 160 horsepower stock, it is light to begin with, and tuning support to bring the engine to a higher power threshold seems to be prevalent. I intend on tuning mine with a simple piggyback system for some added oomph. The car has near sublime 50/50 weight distribution, the convertible top is a great feature for sunny drives, and the ride is very comfortable even at longer distances (I have spent entire days in my car before, with only minor discomfort near the end of the trip). I am 6’1, and not at all too big for the car.

The best detail regarding my car is basically the color and the obstruction.
Just small issues with the gas tank and tires are always easily weak. There's not too many issues with it, it is actually pretty stable for its make. It is just a thing of taking care of your baby practically. It is really not hard at all. I love this vehicle and I recommend it to anyone.

Best Sports Car ever
I've not put just over 15,000 on my Classica, and it's been a jewel. Not one issue and many miles of pure fun. It's finally great to see others on the road. For awhile we were a rare breed. If you can fit in it, buy it...with a 6 speed manual. You'll be thrilled!

I love my sweet baby. My spider.
I love my car, sweet baby. He fast and reliable. He has heated seats and a leather interior. The cab is small but comfortable and it feels like it hugs you when you sit in it. Its white with a black convertible top. It's the only one in this town.

Fun occasional driver
Fun and easy roadster to drive. Great in the mountains ,the handling is just what you enjoy most. Little weak on power, but can boost up with some add ons.

Great affordable sports-car.
Love the handling. Great features and easy to remove the top. The abarth has the added horsepower that makes it really fun to drive. Great interior styling. Very sporty and is easy to maintain. Like the premium sound system and the standard features including the navigation system. Downside is that it only has 3-season tires standard on the abarth.

2017 Convert Top
The 2017 124 Abarth Spider is fantastic! It is fun, reliable and stylish. If you have one, do be aware that the convertible top in the down position, will rub between the top's leading edge and the back of the roll bar resulting is expensive damage to both the top and plastic roll bar.

Models also known as Trim Levels, are used to identify a vehicle's level of equipment or special features.
That it is easy to drive in traffic and on the surface streets.
I like that it is a convertible and is fun to drive. What I dislike is that it does not have a lot of power and it does have some blind spots.

It has nice leather seats with a khaki interior.
Sometimes the breaks can be a little loud but can easily be fixed by your mechanic. Other than that the car is everything you would look for in a car. It drives great, good on gas and is not loud. You will not have any difficulty parking because the car is very easy to park due to its size.
