That camera angle from the bonnet looking through the windscreen is so movie-like, it's probably just because there wasn't enough space inside the cabin but I'll give you the credit for it anyway 😂

Still the best 124 video out there! It convinced me to buy the car within a week of watching it, and now re-watching it again 18 months later, I marvel at how accurately the car is presented. All the important aspects are presented and the lesser important topics (eg cup holders ) are omitted. It captures the thrilling and engaging spirit of driving the car. Good job!

This is amazing Sid! This video quality is literally Top Gear standard... why you don't have hundreds of thousands of subs is beyond me

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).

The video quality is superb. Incredible video, congrats Sid!

I may be Canadian, but frankly theres something about my 124 that makes me want to just throw it around some backroads in Italy and Austria, in a pair of brown leather driving gloves, and some wire framed sunglasses. It's just a pure wonderful experience.

Cracking cinematography and filming guys - good work! And as always Sid, a great review.

Another class video - awesome stuff Sid, awesome!!

The new video style is just superb! Congrats Sid!

Let's not forget the 124 spider existed way before the mx5

This was an incredible review, you've got the perfect personality to present and put across your knowledge and opinion very well! Not to mention the faultless production quality. I don't know how I haven't found your channel sooner, but first impressions have earned you a new subscriber, and I look forward to more videos, keep it up mate!

Finally a good video about the Fiat 124 Spider! :-) thanks for the nice footage!

Good job man! Great production here. Really appreciate that.

Man, this is a great review. Why you don’t have WAY more subscribers is beyond me. You’ve certainly earned my sub, and this is the first video I’ve watched of yours. Can’t wait to watch more.

From Italy i say: really great video Sid, very well explained, amazing car to me.

My god Sid, I've watching your videos for a while but this quality of cinematography and review reminds me of Chris Harris videos in 2012, keep doing what you are doing, success will come inevitably

Fantastic review and camera angles! I like this pretty and engaging car that provides pure driving experience. Unfiltred and raw.

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

Excellent video review! This car is amazing and I want one!

Best car review I’ve seen in awhile

Nicely done. Quality 👌

Top vid and top driving skills too. I've never seen anyone slide it (or the Mazda) in corners like that before!

One of the top 124 reviews. Loved it!

Fantastic review and production. Would you recommend adding a tuning chip, upgraded exhaust, brakes, and sway bars? Or would those be superfluous given your comments? Thanks

Kudos to the cameraman sitting on the bonnet the whole time without falling off. Great stability.

*great video sid. Love the 124. I had such a blast in it. Sounds great, I love the way it looks personally*

Sid these edited vids are another level bro speechless

It’s not the same gear box as the new mx5. The new mx5 has issues when used hard like on track. The Arbarth uses the older gear box which according to experts is bullet proof. It’s also better able to handle the extra power and turbo.

Damn Sid you can drive awesome review were did you learn to slide the back end around like that?

That‘s a great video👌🏽

Love your videos Sid 😉

really well made video!

0:30 I've come to the conclusion that "worser" isn't a word.

Awesome video

I’d love to know how you record these videos, I love my abarth and want more clips!!

Hello that was a good video, really like the car, i used to own an mx5 so I know how exciting and thrilling the ride is like. If you had a choice between this and the mx5 would the mx5 still still win?

Good work 😎

Where in the Peaks is this road? Would love to drive it

I've owned one for a little over a year. If you are going to buy one get an Abarth. It's not an MX-5. It's an Italian roadster designed by Fiat and built on the MX-5 platform. I give Fiat a lot of credit for teaming with Mazda on this car. It's beautiful, sexy and it performs. Personally, I wouldn't make comments until you drive one. On second thought, don't drive one unless you are ready to buy one. Once you get a taste you will want one, bad.

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.

Nice review, British fresh prince~

What is the music theme? Loved the video

I couldn’t agree more with the pops and bangs comment starting an Audi up these days in like starting a orchestra up in your front door.. too much it’s too much

why would you get it in automatic tho

Looks better then a Mazda sounds better then a Mazda nicer to drive then a Mazda has a turbo not like the Mazda honestly.... no brainier really

@@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.

Good review. It’s more pleasant to view a video when the reviewer is enthusiastic about the product rather than droning on in a robotic monotone. I’m a huge fan of what I call “The Classic English Motoring Tradition.” There is nothing more appealing in life than scampering about on a deserted country road with a beautiful woman in the passenger seat and a pique nique luncheon and Champagne in a basket in the trunk (“boot?”). But it requires a proper motor car. This one will do just fine. I’m buying one. Now I just need to find the right lady. Any adventurous volunteers?

Great cinematic review man, btw You called it intriguing but not pretty!? it’s like one of the nicest looking small modern roadsters ever built, that’s my opinion anyway, but many others opinion too, it just likes to catch your eye in a very pleasant manner I think.

Put an LS in it and it would be perfect

looks like you put some real slippery tires on.... its not a drift car with lots of power!? :O

production value is off the chain for 16k subs. doug demuro still uses his iPhone for a lot of it ffs

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 !

Fun car.

Test drove one I am getting one end of year make a great buy a year old lose about 10k then will level out.

Real world , cool vid..... must confess .... I’ve got the hots for one of these . I’m faced with either having to cut the roof of my 595 Competizione... or incurring the wife’s wrath and taking the plunge ! Help.
