Positive Review

"Love. Love, Love this car - so fun enjoyable!"

I've owned this Lusso for a little more than a month. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, for me the Spider is absolutely gorgeous. Test drove both auto and manual. Have to say that my personal preference was manual - a bit more driver engagement, but wife said that if we were to get one at all, it had to be automatic - an acceptable compromise. On the open highway at speed there isn't much need to shift anyway, and in city traffic, it's less of a hassle to not shift. Sports cars are, in general, known to have harsh rides - not the Fiat 124 Spider. It handles superbly like a true sports car, and yet has a very comfortable ride. This is not a muscle car, but is lightweight, nimble, peppy, and has magnificent handling. Always puts a smile on my face, and my wife enjoys the ride too. I could not be more satisfied.

Critical Review

"Buying this vehicle was a big misstake"

The center touch/control panel is nearly worthless. It is not user friendly; and in the daylight it is not visible and hence; does not perform at any level.

I love my little Black Beauty
Pros

Fun fun fun and easy to wash lol

I have the Lusso Red top edition. It’s my all time favorite car I’ve ever owned. My only negative is my husband’s a giant lol but that’s not the cars fault! 😝 he’ll still be a sport and get in (top down) on rare occasion. (6’6”) 😃 #lovemyroadster

Perfect little sports car!

So much fun! Top down on a sunny day… you just can’t beat it. The best of Italian styling combined with Japanese manufacturing.

Fun car but not too practical
Pros

Fun to drive, smiling all the way.

Cons

The interior is not very roomy, trunk is good size

The car is a blast to drive with the top down. Which can be done in less than 3 seconds up or down. The sport mode is perfect for tooling along city streets or accelerating up the freeway on ramp. Cruise work’s best most of the time. As this car can certainly get out of its own way. I am stopped often by car people asking what kind of car it is as it is beautiful with the red body and black racing stripe.

Love this car
Pros

Fun to drive

Puts a smile on my face whenever I drive it. Owned since new, and never been back to the dealer for more than an oil change. Quality is top notch. Very fun to drive. I'm 6'3" and I've driven this car on several long trips (multiple day journeys) and it's tight but very comfortable.

Pros

Fin to drive

NONE

Like new , garage kept, fun to drive. This is a great toy to have, it definitely is an eye catcher. Also, the paint is Bianco Perla Tri- Coat White metallic exterior paint with Black interior and many other extra comfort features.

OUTSTANDING VALUE

Great performance and looks from a Mazda built, Fiat styled and turbo charged powered true roadster. Marvelous ride around town! As good or even better than its sibling Miata.

WOW! What a car
Pros

Fun to drive, Affordable

First, I must say I'm a Porsche Boxster fan, owned several, but they are getting way to expensive so I thought I shop around and I'm glad I did. True, the Boxster is a powerful little car and the Spider cannot compete in that area, but besides that EVERYTHING else is AWESOME! The Spider is more comfortable, the ride is smoother, the look is different and no one knows what you driving and driving it in manual mode gives me enough power. Overall, I'm impressed and don't foresee me trading anytime soon. Oh, and the price, WOW you get so much for you $$$$.

Very Happy owner
Pros

Amazing handling, so fun to drive.

Cons

None that I can think of.

Purchased this car in April 2021. Had 29000 miles. I love this car! There are not many on the road and Fiat really hit it out of the park with this vehicle. Love the styling and the performance. It handles like a dream. It is a fun car to drive. At it's core it is a Mazda Miata with a Fiat turbo engine and the Fiat styling. Best of both worlds. I have never had a car that people really look at and give a thumbs up while driving. It pretty cool!
