Abarth 124 SPIDER GT - an overpriced Mazda? 

Those legs tho...

@@everardoalba simp alarm!!!!!!!

Thank you Damian, I never knew just how special Abarth really is!

Yeese.

@@zenithnardin shut up incel

@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!

@@jackmaddox4960 Her voice is a SCREWDRIVER to the ear

Dang! I've been driving mine the wrong way all this time.

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!

Thank you William, I'd easily say that this car offers so much more. Keeping fit, as always :-)

Thank you Archie, that's a good point, Fiesta ST!

Thank you Anna👍

Thank you ever so much for such a lovely comment

That's true, the MX-5 is hard to beat when it comes to maintenance. Speaking purely exterior and driving performance though, this car is just WOW!🔥💜

Girl on Swiss Roads it’s a beautiful car I’ll give you that .i don’t think they sell them in the states .

tampaguy35 They most certainly do

@@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 $$.

Roof is actually carbon fiber. 3500euro optional for the soft top if you like 😁👍

Domenico what!

And look at that beauty of a car :-)

@@AnnaOnRoads gorgeous ❤️

But it was an automatic 124 Abarth !

@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 ?

@Farina Marcini Interesting

I drive a Lancia Delta Integrale Evoluzione 1 red white wheels

Mazda is Mazda, incomparable. Asia is always the best and richest ;) only if you know the world for real ;)

Thank you :-)

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.

Manual Transmissions are for those who prefer to 'drive' their car as opposed to those who who are satisfied to be transported. For those who do not appreciate that distinction automatics are available...

@@devildog5354 - 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".

Thank you Dan, there are, perhaps YT was kind to you!

Sorry, I lied.. At 0:55 , I HAD to stop looking at the car ;)

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

Exactly!

@@AnnaOnRoads 👍😎💎

Hey hey hey! I AM French! :) Just test drive a Renault Megane RS, and your rule will get down to 2F :) .. and by the way: where are built the most prestigious and performing cars in the world, Bugatti ? Yep, France...

@Fire Heart Maybe because very few car enthusiasts have ever driven a Bugatti... I haven't. Not even sat in one ( I did seat in a Pagani, though...). Hypercars are, by definition, something very exclusive.. I can't imagine what 1500 hp must be like....

@@ChristophePeytier the Megane RS is just one (if not the best) of the best hot hatches!

@Fire Heart Bugatti is not even properly French so what you're saying isn't applicable.

abarth 124 definately aint cute.. moreso masculine. especially in comparison to the mx5. i had an mx5 and was always told its a hairdressers car.. hated that. NEVER in 124 i get is that a Lotus, Ferrari. ?? the devil is in the italian detail cues. sound and turbo. mx5 without turbo not too much souping up can really be achieved. £300 will put this car over 200 bhp. being pushed back by 250nm of torque never gets old and thats stock.

@@shawray Why putting a turbo and 200 hp in a car like this...You want it "masculine" and not a "hairdressers car"(whoever comes up with that nonsense) ? ...Get yourself a Corvette.Simple as that.

@@caypiranha1246 i said it LOOKS more masculine. when has a turbo ever made a car LOOK any different ??? and it comes with a garrett turbo no need to be putting one in.~Best sounding 4 cylinder out there. dude im sooo happy with my Abarth. Had an MX5 and in the UK they are branded hairdressers cars. FACT. but i still love them too. Just Not as Much

@@shawray +++i said it LOOKS more masculine. when has a turbo ever made a car LOOK any different ???+++ Nope,you did not.You wrote: +++„abarth 124 definately aint cute.. moreso masculine +++and it comes with a garrett turbo no need to be putting one in.+++ We know that anyway. +++Best sounding 4+++ Matter of Taste.You could also say ,a turbos just another average tool in average sports cars.There was a reason,why Mazda did choose the traditional way of useing a naturally aspirated engine.Tradition.No real limit in hp ,if needed. Btw:Still don´t get the deal with that „masculine“ and „hairdressers car“( apart from the matter of fact,i would not give a toss,what some dullies in the gutter do come up with ) phrase.

We digress... Cay drive an abarth. Then be honest in regards to the whole package. I've owned both. That sound theatre. The pops and growls. How The sport button changes The way the turbo pulls. Made the decision for me. If your ever in London... You can give mine a go x
