Fiat 124 Spider - This is why you NEED ONE! HD

I have driven a very small handful of cars over the past few months, and the one that stands out - by FAR, is the Fiat 124 Spider. Fiat haven’t made a two seater roadster in 11 years – the last one was the Barchetta. Moving on rather swiftly to now, we have this, the 2017 Fiat 124 Spider. It takes its name and some styling queues from the original 1966 124 Spider, but underneath, it’s Japanese. For the revised model, Fiat has joined Mazda to create the 124. So under all the Italian bodywork lives the chassis, interior and electronics of the ND MX-5 – a solid starting point for Fiat’s return to sports cars. It doesn’t take a lot of thinking to figure out that the Fiat 124 is going to be a good driver’s car. It’s based on the MX-5 for goodness sake, so you know it will be good. Low centre of gravity, ideal weight distribution and RWD ensure that the 124 is planted and secure on the road at all times. After spending a week with the Fiat 124, I didn’t want to give the car back. It creates such a positive reaction when people see it. With those big eyes, it’s an approachable and non-threatening car. I hugely enjoyed my time with the 124 and it really got me thinking about the benefits of open-top motoring. You can’t go wrong with a little red sports car.
