I like how this car actually has a nice throaty exhaust note from the factory. I had to put an exhaust on my s2000 to make it sound the business. More manufacturers should do this with sports cars.
I have a 18 Abarth 124 with manual that is Tork Tune stage 1 w/ Auto Ricambi muffler delete exhaust and it is a blast to drive. Turn off the traction control and drift like a boss. I gave up the bells and whistles from my 17 MX-5 RF and haven't looked back.
@zenith nardin Wow, what an a-hole you are. I think it's great seeing a woman doing car reviews, and doing it well, at that. I'd be willing to bet she could out-drive you, even IN her high heels and driving gloves..! Heh!
Amazing review. I was really looking forward to this review after you saying that drove this car and boy you didn't disappoint. I guess you really like the Abarth 124 Spider? It is a gorgeous looking cars, I really like the ones that are white with a black bonnet and boot with red mirrors. But I never drove or test drove the Abarth 124 Spider. I thought you could get the Abarth 124 Spider in a manual? or is it because it's a GT. It looks like a car that should have a manual gearbox to add to the thrill of the drive. Keep up with the great work and all the best. :-)
Great review. Gotta go for the manual though. This Abarth version is probably the one to have too. Luckily im sooo happy with my MX5 mk3 I feel no envy-just admiration.
I am planning to have this car one day. For Sunday flavor. But you know what Anna. I couldn’t took my eyes from you again. 😂 nice review as always beautiful.
Hello Anna, It may be a twin of the Mazda but the Arbarth has its own personality, a budget sports car with character. PS I think your gear changing is improving.
@andinconclusion I own a 2016 MX-5 Club & do my own oil changes. Saves some $$$ but I also get an underneath view of the car. The Fiat 124 oil change is completely different as that oil filter looks like a PITA ! www.124spider.org/threads/diy-changing-engine-oil-and-filter-with-photos.14017/ Plus remember this 124 has a Fiat engine / suspension / exhaust & interior bits. The windshield & glass are Mopar. Mazda parts in the interior but soft top ?
Loved this video, as you are always your charming self. You are so enthusiastic about this car that I feel I should sell my Porsche 981 right away to get one. But should I, really ? ;-)
Good to get that back to back comparison with you featuring the mx-5 so recently. I see the gloves are back, that should silence a few of the usual suspects! 😄
Great review! First review that didn’t trash the automatic gearbox. I think most people are programmed to hate automatics but this is quite a good gear box when you’re driving it hard. Shifts are quick and aggressive and using the paddles is good fun. Perfectly good alternative to those who don’t want to ( or can’t) drive a manual.
Thank you Adam, I think one must be open minded when driving different cars. This automatic gearbox is wonderful and I just don't get the so called "real drivers". Well, I am a lady who absolutely loved it!
Great review, not often we see this one reviewed. I think I would choose this over the Mazda, I am not sure if this would be wise however but like Alpha, you just can't ignore the passion they put into their cars.
Lovely review, the twin to the Mazda is a highly desirable looking car and is nice and simple. Have you been to the gym lately, looking fantastic as always ❤️👍🏼
Very nice, indeed. Note that while there are a number of Italian design touches on the car, I believe the dashboard and interior are pure Mazda MX-5, save for the logo on the steering wheel.
This car would have been more appealing if it had an optional 2-liter turbo engine. That puny 1.4 engine has its place for a balance of economy and performance, but as a top performer, it needs either the 2.0 or 2.3 turbo. Yes, it also needs a 5-6 speed manual transmission.
I really love this car, along with the Mazda MX5. My first sports car which I have to this day is a Porsche Cayman S 2009. And although I love love love my car, I sometimes wish I would’ve started with something a little simpler. Anyway I’m really enjoying your channel I’m over here on the other side of the pond, your enthusiasm is infectious, please keep the videos coming.
Such a sleek little car! Awesome video too, Anna. But honestly it does look like an MX5 though. Keep up the good Anna! :) My advice, you need a pair of black leather driving gloves to match the colour of the car ;)
Both the Miata and the Abarth are great cars. I would choose the Abarth because of style, sound, and rarity. The turbo engine is also a plus, a simple tune and you're knocking on 200hp, more than enough in a car so small. Thanks for the review Anna.
Anna is truly the best... pure class, speaks eloquently, drives very well, and a timeless beauty 🥰 We are all blessed that she chooses to make videos for our knowledge!
Way back in my Erlenbach days green became my unlucky colour and portent of bad things to come. Had I met you then it would without doubt have been my lucky colour. You look absoloutely stunning in that green dress. The review too was rather special, by the way! :-)
Such a truthful review. I have driven the Abarth and the Mazda. The Abarth engine and tuning far surpassed the rather uninspiring Mazda. After driving the Mazda you were left wanting more. I will look for this GT model to try out....
I like the body styling on the 124 looks even better in red with the black hood , I was tempted . But I had to go with the 2019 Miata for the improved 2.0. Added a Borla exhaust for sound and a few more hp couldn’t be happier! Bummer your tester had an automatic .should be a crime to sell these cars with anything but a manual!
I have owned 5 MX5’’s and I love the MX5 but I also love what they have done with the 124. The 1.4 turbo is a great little engine and sounds so great too . If cars like the MX5 will be built in the future they need to sell well. Sadly it’s not selling well and in the UK and the US the 124 is no longer being sold 😓
Such beautiful car . I have got the same but in red and its not Gt. I love it . I also have mx5- 2017 . I love it too. They drive very differently i have noticed. But fun fun fun to drive. I love the color of your tester car. Thank you
I was having a feeling of Deja vous to start with. Then I realised it was the MX5 you reviewed recently :-(... Still. Great video of a great little two seat sports car. It's the Italian MX5 :-))... I know you'd have preferred a manual gearbox. But thinking about it, if manuals are so good, how come F1 don't use them? Manuals are good when you're learning so you get the feel of what the car and engine is doing in harmony and partnership. But as you get older, and wiser, autos are easily the better option for the open road. :-))...
Because f1 cars so powerful and they need heavy clutch. And f1 still uses semi auto. first gear using with hand clutch. They have flat gearing tech and they dont need clutch after first gear, Just using flappys.
@Paul von Helger - Gotta disagree with you there. I've been driving for 40+ years and I still love driving as much if not more now. But I now see the benefits of autos with or without paddle shift. If you're stuck in traffic, an auto is a god send. But on the open road. That's different. You're coming up to a bend. Tap. Tap. You drop down a couple of gears to steady and slow the car a bit and use the brakes just a tad, and then power out of the bend. It's not that I don't like manuals though, but if given a choice, I'd go auto now as they are so damn good. However, auto's 40 years ago were bloody awful and solely for those who wanted to get from "A" to "B".
After I got back from Viet Nam in 1969, I took a trip to a car dealer in Austin Texas. It had all the Fiats. I liked the 124 Spyder and the 850 Spyder but I was in love with the Fiat 124 Sport Coup. It was that willowish color that the Veloster comes in. Never did even drive one. Thank you for the review. It brought back old memories.
Italians cars are beautiful but so Unreliable.I have a 2019 Mazda mx5 I traded in my 2014 boxtser I couldn’t be happier with her .Italians and germans make incredible looking cars but they ridiculously expensive to maintain after a few years .i do love Anna’s enthusiasm
@@tampaguy35 They do but Abarth in the US is a brand with barely more than a styling package difference from the regular Fiat 124. It's a shame that the true European Abarth isn't available to us at the moment, it looks and sounds worth the $$.
The manual 6 speed is available in the states the U.S. hates FIAT and the FIATs hardly sell but personally I love it and the brand all the 500s 500xs the only one I do not like is the 500l
YESSSS , noooow we are talking .. Real car. My first car was the Autobianchi A112 Abarth. So, needless to say, this Scorpio emblem stirs my soul and makes me 40 years younger... So, I tell you, Anna: I didn't look at you AT ALL, in this Video ! Ok, having said that... 170hp... Frankly, if they had this car with a 1.8 200hp (just 40 hp lower than the Alfa 4C) , i think I would buy one... And by the way, you alluded to the Fiat 124 Sport.. May i remind you that this was coming with the 2.6 V6 Dino Ferrari engine ?!? That was another class, another spirit.. Bygone days...
A little ecu tuning and you get easily and safely 200hp and 280/300nm torque. I think the car needs no more than this otherwise will lose its touring scope.
@@domenico6464 Make sense. And yes, I agree with you. If you want more than that, you might as well directly get an Alfa 4C... Or even a Fiat 595 Abarth
I what the channel because of you looks and your accent. I am an American car guy (and trucks) the older the better. When are you going to test drive the new Corvette?
I drive the automatic and with paddle-shifting it soooo much fun . It pops -bangs through the gears in sportmode ! Many of the modern sportcars have paddle-shifters so why not . Its matter of opinion both are fun !!!
Wouai .... heureusement que le moteur turbo lui donne donne un peu de caractère // mx5😳. Sa ligne se retrouve sublimée par la présentation😜. Mais à part cela , je ne voie pas l’attrait que peu avoir un roadster qui a une 1/2 sœur.
the only reason why i am currently not considering a 124 abarth is because of the miata RF ...but an automatic!? fuck no! i hope they make it manual, or offer the normal abarth 124 with the roof.
I have the classica. I figured it would give me the money to trick it out with stuffed turbo and e85 conversion. That makes it basically eat a 4c. Really great review I have the auto ricombi muffler delete and it sounds awesome.

Anybody notice the black Fiat 124 Spyder in the garage?.🤔🤔😳😳😁😁 No GT in the States.🤔🤔🇺🇸
Bought it new 2017 124 black convertible Fiat classica lot of fun every time I drive it.
I like the body styling on the 124 looks even better in red with the black hood , I was tempted . But I had to go with the 2019 Miata for the improved 2.0. Added a Borla exhaust for sound and a few more hp couldn’t be happier! Bummer your tester had an automatic .should be a crime to sell these cars with anything but a manual!
Is this hard-top only, or is a soft-top lurking underneath when you remove the top? Love the carbon-fiber look!
Roof is actually carbon fiber. 3500euro optional for the soft top if you like 😁👍
