Living with an Abarth 124 Spider | Sideways Sid 

SamJPC 😂😂😂👍🏽

Cam The Car Guy Thank you sir. Glad you are liking it 👍🏽

Agree.

Engine profile is different; 124 has considerably more torque than the MX-5, so more grunt. Some people prefer their cars to rev; I don't so it wins over the MX-5 for me (FWIW I had an Alfa with this engine and it's splendid).

Comment didn't age well

+skylinedrag Thanks mate. Glad your liking it.

Thanks for reminding me about this. It was a fun day in the Peak District!

I bought one here in Canada due to Jason Cammisa's review and yours, and after about six months' drive with it​i have to say you really got it right. Not sure if i should change back to a 986 Boxster, the Abarth is so good. @SidNorth

Yep....Rolf Harris.

R ben Thanks mate

The whole fam reviewing here! Best ask them to dial it back a bit, it's quite unrealistic.

I try my best to put effort into the quality of vids. Thanks for the sub 👊🏽

Agree 100% about everything, including the last part. This (and the MX5 too to be honest, it's still an incredibly good car) becomes and addiction the moment you start it for the first time to try it, so be prepared to buy it lol.

haha, sorry but a woman will only make it less fun, your either going to fast or too slow or the car will be too noisy or bumpy. use the car to drive to your girl

Which is why I would have the MX-5

Sideways Sid interesting I get it tho I am normally someone who strays from the ‘norm’ it’s why I had a punto as a first car instead of all these Vauxhall’s etc I get it maybe it’s why I fam boy over this tho

@@SidNorth What is it about the MX-5 that puts it above the 124 for everyone?

@@El-Burrito more reliable engine

@@joshshanks7966 Thats bullshit. The Fiat MultiAir engine has proven its reliability in various models. But I am with the others: A NA engine is most of the time better. And the Mazda 2.0 is definitly better then the 1.4 Turbo MultiAir because it is way more responsive. The Miata is a legend of a car, but I dont like the looks of it. And if I spend "big money" I want something that looks good, too. So I bought an Abarth Spider one year ago and I dont regret it. It did cost me 26,000 EUR including tax, so it was a really good price for the value of a new car.

Derbyshire. It's near the village of Hope, Edale Road, to Mam Tor, near Castleton.

Sideways Sid 124 but I’m going to bias lol

you know my answer - MX5!

Sideways Sid mx5 and swap a k20 fully built for a big turbo

124. Had the old mx-5 but don't like the styling on the new one.

Abarth 124 is overpriced and i wouldn't be confident in a Fiat made engine... Just go on 124spider.org and have a look at the tons of problems they've got ! They even have problems with the multiair oil system drained by gravity if you don't use the car for a few months... Then you can't even fucking start you car. But to be fair, i really like the look of the Fiat 124 ! It's closer to the MX5 NC and i prefer it over the ND look. The superior torque is appealing but it got a fair amount of turbo lag and the fuel economy is shitty (Yeah, i care about it since it would be a daily !) But seriously... i'll go all the way for the N/A MX5 !

Leave you wife and get the Spider. Sounds like your life is shackled by the ball and chain.
