What is it like to live with an Abarth 124 Spider? | 2 Month Ownership Review

[@MassTnT]

Hi, I own this car since 2017 and still love it. What I've learned is that the main thing to mind is the engine oil level. Check it often; it's important even more than in cars without the Multiair system because, simplifying, the valves are actuated by the oil. When you see the red light in the dashboard it's too late. Anyway, congratulations; you made a great choice.

I’ve had mine for three and a half years now. I haven’t changed a single thing on it, because I love it just the way it is. I use it mainly in good weather and even get my full set of golf clubs in the passenger seat with the trolley in the boot.

Having owned a 695 Abarth, the thing that astounded me the most, was the cost of Fiat specific engine parts. Its no wonder the 124 Spider went out of production so quickly, the MX5 which it was based upon, was a better car to own, and far more reliable, with a less complicated engine.

CAN YOU POST WHERE YOU GOT YOUR MODS PLEASE

Nice review and an amazing car! I like the colour choice. I sold mine last year and now I’m probably looking for another, funny enough, I have a Giulia as my daily car. How much did it cost to lower the suspension? I’m 6 foot 1and managed to drive all the way to Venice in it, so it’s a great car for a road trip. 👍 edit, just saw your other video about the suspension, £600 sounds ok.

How do you find the stock exhaust drone on the motorway?

[@willscars]

Really not bad, in 6th with the roof up it’s pretty refined for what it is

[@Kstxrd]

the stock exhaust sounds amazing at any speed.

[@RaZuA1989]

It's a fun weekend car, but when I did long drives with mine (say: summer holiday to the south of france), the droning in my ears after a day of driving was noticeable. The cabin noise is too noticeable and hard on the ears for the car to be an all-day driver. That being said, it's the most joyful and top car experience i've ever owned.

[@potter147]

Whats visibilty like with you being 6ft? Im 6ft1 and heard i may have an issue fitting in the car. Does your head touch the roof when its down?

[@willscars]

Not bad at all, would appreciate a lower seat but really haven’t had any issues. I only hit my head when I get out with the roof up, but that might also just be my clumsiness 😂.

👍

[@rezaomar3397]

I really do like this, I really want one as my next car i think its more exciting than an mx5 in every way, although things that put me off is the fact thats italian lol and that my friends keep saying this is a gay car, to which I say the if the car is a man, I am gay!

[@Huntatroll]

"italian" but its produced in japan in the same factory as the MX5

[@ogdumplings8196]

I’m Asian and yy balls hurt by driving daily, assume you will have this problem even more, with a right hand drive version and being non Asian

[@willscars]

Hahahaha can confirm this is an issue

[@ogdumplings8196]

My first action in the car, were getting those out.

[@dougsteele5104]

Go to the Gym? I don't see it BTW the Record Monza is the HOLY GRAIL of the Abarth 124 Spider

[@willscars]

Don’t see me going to the gym? 😂 yeah the exhaust is mega!

[@aleddavies770]

What a fuck horrible thing to say

[@MyMurderBook]

red 124 spider looks so cheap

[@willscars]

What colour is yours?

[@MyMurderBook]

@ white

[@willscars]

Nice, I wanted the blue but I liked the red too, there were non available with the black bonnet when I got mine too which was disappointing
