    2017 Fiat 124 Spider: Is This The Best Miata Ever?

    At the recent New York Auto Show, Fiat Chrysler unveiled the quickest and most powerful production car it has ever built, the 2018 Dodge Challenger Demon.

    2017 Fiat 124 Spider Abarth Review

    After getting a taste of the Lusso version last year and naming it our favorite car of 2016 we finally got a chance to savor the Abarth version. The 124 Spider Abarth gets a small bump in power over the lesser models putting out 164 hp @ 5500 rpm and 184 lb-ft @ 2500 rpm. The Fiat 124 Spider...

    2017 Fiat 124 Spider: Best Sports Car for the Money

    The Best Sports Car for the Money in 2017 is the Fiat 124 Spider, which replaces the 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata for the honor.

    2017 Fiat 124 Spyder Review

    Badge engineering is the process of selling two version of the same car under different brand names. Fiat-Chrysler was in need of a sporty roadster, but developing one from scratch would require a ton of cash to enter a very competitive niche market. CEO Sergio Marchionne wanted to compete on...

    2017 Fiat 124 Spider Abarth wins Motor Trend's Leftovers Challenge

    When it comes to cars, we all have our preferences. We could argue about the relative merits of a turbo engine's midrange torque versus a naturally aspirated engine's instant response. Or whether steering precision is more important than feedback at the wheel. But there's one thing that you...

    Abarth 124 Spider Abarth Tuned by Madness Autoworks

    The Fiata is more than just a Mazda MX-5 Miata with Fiat badging and a different engine. The go-faster Abarth variant, for example, is an idea more powerful than its Japanese sibling. But at the end of the day, the 124 Spider can be further improved. Tuning always comes to the help of owners...

    The Top Gear car review: 124 Spider Abarth

    Overview Abarth makes a faster Fiat. So to create the car you see here, the Abarth 124 Spider, you might assume the starting point was Fiat's 124 Spider. And you'd be right. But that's not the start of the story, because Fiat's starting point was the Mazda MX-5. We apologise if this is familiar...

    2017 Fiat 124 Spider: the Brand's Supermodel

    Fiat's sales numbers in Canada and in the U.S. speak for themselves. Consumers went all crazy with the cheeky 500 hatchback when it launched here in 2011, but since then, traffic in Fiat dealerships-er, Fiat Studios-hasn't been fantastic. In fact, sales in Canada have nosedived by 57% in 2016...

    2017 Fiat 124 Spider

    The 2017 Fiat 124 Spider was a two seat convertible or in the proper automotive lexicon it was a roadster. It was small, rear-wheel-drive, lightweight, and it had a turbocharged four cylinder engine. That 1.4-liter engine made 160 horsepower or 164 horsepower, depending on the trim line, and it...

    Could FCA revive the affordable roadster market with the Fiat 124 Spider?

    Styling wise, the Mazda-based 124 Spider could be a mini-Maserati, and the interior is better than that of the three-times as pricey Alfa 4C. This little roadster has much to offer for anyone wanting an alternative to the plethora of B-SUVs bombarding the European and North American markets. It...

    2017 Fiat 124 Spider

    It's not easy when something you love changes, but there's also no such thing as perfect. For as much as we love the new Mazda Miata, after a two-hour slog down I-5 to San Diego in one with the top up, we were thinking earplugs would've been a good idea. We were on our way to drive its sister...

    Fiat's 2017 124 Spider

    Ready for a little Italian conversation class? Start by repeating after me: Bella piccolo macchina. Now say it with feeling, and maybe with an Italian-style shrug of the shoulders and upturned palms. The literal translation is 'beautiful little machine'. And it's also exactly how you'd describe...

    2017 Fiat 124 Spider Beats Miata To 'Best Convertible' Crown

One of them is the all-new Fiat 124 Spider, which has been rated positively by various auto reviewers. Today, Cars.com took a...

    2017 Fiat 124 Spider Abarth vs. 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata Club

    If buying an Italian car made in Japan sounds absurdly Fellini-esque, it's exactly the scene now unfolding at Fiat dealerships. Fiat's new 124 Spider is made in a Mazda plant in Hiroshima, on the same assembly line as the MX-5 Miata. Odd though it may sound, there's precedent. Legend has it that...

    2017 Fiat 124 vs. 2016 Mazda MX-5

    Ask a Mazda MX-5 Miata driver about the 2017 Fiat 124 Spider, and you'll probably get one of two answers: 1. Love it. The world needs more cars like the Miata. 2. Why did you dress my perfectly good Miata in a flashy Italian suit? Basically identical to the 2016 MX-5 (ND) save for the...
