Today we have a 2017 Fiat 124 Spider, which is affectionately know as the "Fiata" due to its collaboration with the Mazda Miata. They're more similar than different in a lot of ways but some may say the Fiat is little more classicly styled. The inspiration is based off the Sport Spider which was originally manufactured back in 1966, this car is great if want to be a little different. So let us know what you prefer between the Fiat 124 or the Mazda Miata!

    Love my '17 Classica 6speed. For a lifetime truck owner, this thing is so much fun and great on gas. Lots of push and grunt for an I4. Absolutely *zero* issues after 3 years with regular at home oil/plug/coil changes

    Spot on, definitely more of a GT car. I’ve driven an ND2 Club back to back with a 124 Abarth and definitely preferred the ND2. Faster, felt more razor edge, and didn’t like the turbo lag. The Abarth exhaust sounded awesome though. Personally I think Fiat 124 styling will age better than ND2 in long term.

    How long-term do you mean? ND Miata with its current design has been around since mid-2015 as it is (8 years) and aged very well. The 124 styling is gorgeous though, but I just don't like the engine at all, and reliability isn't a strong suit for sure. Good luck getting any cosmetic parts for the 124 also.

    First if you want to go fast get a fast car. Why does everyone want a track car just enjoy a good car and just cruise and enjoy not getting tickets or losing your license. Now day's you don't need to go fast with cameras and cell phones everywhere.

    I’m pretty sure I will call it “Fiata,” I have a Miata NC, and let’s be honest that fiat is really a Miata but more stylish, also it’s a Italian mark but the engines and most of the pieces are from the Miata. If you think it’s even more affordable compare to Miata’s, and it’s pretty much the same (at least here in America)

    all those mods, the tires, particularly, are going to change the feel of the car compared to a stock. I have a 2017 classica, no major changes, it does the best on wooded backroads, the body roll of the mx5 constantly tilts down into a turn where this car will keep its composure better. The Jason Camisa review of it with the miata is pretty on point with its comparisons.

    I’m amazed the Classica doesn’t come with lsd. You could get that feature on the NA and NB Miata’s. I think Miata regardless of generation is still the answer.

    Fiat motor reliability plus resale is the Achilles heal on these 2-owned all 4 Mazda series-trust me. Btw I owned a 1975 124, 2 X19’s n a 1971 850 spyder. I know what I speak of🏁🥴

    I had to respond: I had a '72 124 and a '70 850 during my youth in the early 1980's. None of the couple of dozen cars I've owned in my life have taught me as much about wrenching as those two. At least I can say I used to own a rear engined Italian sports car (and hope no one asks for details).

    Far more beautiful than the mazda although I recon that tastes are subjective. That car is also more comfortable than the mazda and easier on the road. But none of these cars, including the Gt86 are sport cars. I guess if you want real sensation you need to take a real sport brand cars such as Porsche or the other famous italian brands or some Audi and BMW. These cars (mazda, fiat and toyota) are like Canada Dry beverage ... They look like sport cars, they may sound like sport cars but they are just cool affordable gt cars ... A Mini cooper S 192 hp or a Mini JWC is from far a better sport and more exciting car to drive than any of these 😉
