There are also spaces behind the seats when you put them forward - not mentioned in most reviews

Right on my doorstep. Folks sure do love that stretch of A4069 to test out their cars and bikes. Regularly zoom over that stretch myself in my own 2 seater for giggles.

Welcome to my playground.........I drive these roads every week as a service engineer. Some of the best roads around and only 20 minutes from Cardiff.....

Abarth 124 spider, Honda s2000 or a Porsche Boxster 987 gen 1? All around the $40-45k mark here in Australia

its the A4069 Black Mountain Pass, I about 10minutes drive from it. Every Sunday, nice to take the car for a spanking up there! :)

Good video. Is that the stock exhaust, or is that the upgraded option that is on the website?

If that's the case I would love to have the rear wing extension if it can come off without damaging it, gotta ask. I hope you do basic mods to the 124 as well, check out 500Madness here in the US🏁🇺🇸

@@StefABtv It's a fun car. maybe i'm comparing it too much to my old car. I use to have a 2013 skoda fabia vrs (132kw 250nm) use to floor that thing everywhere, it was small and unrefined and fun. i know if i take my 240i to the track i'll really enjoy the car alot more, but driving around Sydney its hard to open it up as much. Also drinks fuel pretty hard.

A+ vid. I had a 96 Miata back in 99 and there are days I really miss it. Nothing like a well sorted, light weight roadster on some twisties.

Steve Miller in the us the 124 spider and the abarth both have almost the same hp when in the europe the base 124 spider has like 40 less hp than the abarth

Terrible acting at the beginning. He's no Pacino.

As the former owner of a “legacy” 124, that so-called “infotainment” display, not to mention the burrito exhaust tone would be deal-breakers for me. Otherwise, the new Fiata, is a tonne of funne. 😜🇨🇦

@ErectileSceptile

Honestly mate, I can say that video recordings do not do the spider any justice. The sound when you hear it in person is unreal, it sounds closer to a v6 than it does a ricey inline 4. It's throaty, guttural, and sounds great straight piped. I actually bought one of these while I was waiting at a red light (in my Miata, no less) and just the idle and take off on it was awesome, I went to the dealership pretty much a week after for "just a test drive" and end up walking out with the keys to a 2019 Abarth 124. Long story short: it's better in person.

I love my 124 spider
