I love how people joke about the small boot in this car. It's obviously big enough to hold an overnight bag for two, plus something like his camera case below in that well. As for the top, the original 124 had two latches, but it could also be raised or lowered while sitting in the seat. I don't know why there are so many automatic transmission versions of these. I'd love to have one if I could find it with three pedals. (in the eastern US)
I had a 2017 Abarth and sold it during the pandemic for more than I bought it for. Was so much fun and I really miss it. Find myself looking for a black one now. Never had any issues with it. People would approach me all the time about it.
Greetings from Israel, neighbor 😊 I own a 2017 abarth 124 spider, automatic, that's the only version imported to Israel, and there are about 8-14 of those here, so it's really rare. How rare ? I can easily sell it today for 150% the price I paid. I have to say, that in my opinion you just nailed it. You got the essence of this car. It's not the fastest, nor the best accelerator, definitely not the most powerful, but it's the most fun car to drive. Fact ! Also the comment about the brakes- very accurate. Well, I wish that we were living in better days, days in which we could enjoy a ride together. One of my dreams is to drive my abarth to Lebanon. I heard that it's a beautiful country. Drink arak in zahle. See the majestic cedars of Lebanon (I am a woodworker, and live this wood and tree). Keep on riding ! Wish you all the best.
They come with removable cup holders so your passenger can still have their bubbles or beer. There is a storage compartment behind each seat for the corkscrew and a couple of extra cans too!
Abarth never offered the Android Auto upgrade. It's still possible to do though, but fairly complex. You need to install the MX5 upgrade and then crack the firmware and "Rebrand" it to remove the Mazda logos.
Yes, you can get free software online and it allows you to make lots of tweaks to the infotainment system, like Android Auto and Videos and digital speedometers, etc. I have them all on mine.
