A classic Italian take on a Japanese icon: the Fiat 124 Spider
Read the Roadshow review: http://cnet.co/299Bjiu
The 2017 Fiat 124 Spider may be based the Mazda Miata, but it promises a uniquely Italian spin on the roadster experience.

All the fun of a Miata, and all the reliability of a Fiat.. lol

For me, if you're driving a car like this, it's all about driver engagement and more visceral feel. Miata would be my call – sharp handling, crisp manual shifter (and shortest throws of any production vehicle), and brilliant engineering that makes engine so rev-happy. 124, not sure on reliability, and not entirely a sharp sports car, if you ask me… more like a smaller Grand Tourer.

with a tune if will put out 180whp

Gotta keep in mind Fiat's terrible reliability…so I'd probably go with the Miata.

The Fiat 124 is actually built at the Mazda facility in Hiroshima, Japan, even though Fiat designed the exterior and the engine.

I was hoping this trend wouldn't continue. Next Ford and Chevy will share with the mustang and Camaro, Mercedes and BMW will share the same for the s and 7

i would by the Fiat over the Mazda just because it has way better colors. The Miata colors are so dull. If I did buy a Miata I would have to get it wrapped, probably yellow
matt k
hey everyone its safe to buy a Fiat now bc a totally different company made it. That should be there sales pitch

Take the FIAT in automatic; take the Mazda in manual.

They've literally stolen that grille from the Ford Falcon(Australia)

No way this looks better than the Miata, at best they are up to par to one another.

How do you do a car based on the Miata and not have Emme review it!?

being made by Mazda so reliability should be okay

What ever happened to Cooley? I don't entirely like this guy or Cunningham and they seem to on every damn video now. Bring Cooley back, Roadshow.

Pretty car, but I'd prefer the reliability, handling, and smooth, paddle-shifted transmission of the Miata.

When did people start calling the measurement of torque "pound feet?" Used to be "foot-pounds of torque."

It's a great little car. After 1,800 miles, it's still a blast to drive, and trouble-free.

I bought a brand new FIAT Spider 2000 in 1982. The car was gorgeous in cherry red, with a beige soft top, and tan vinyl interior. But that FIAT (Fix It Again Tony) had to be towed to the shop at least a couple of times because the oil pump got damaged in Houston's notorious potholes. The new Fiata's style is reminiscent to the FIAT I used to own but with Mazda's reliability (I know because I've owned Mazda MX-5's since 2004). I'll buy the Abarth trim whenever I can afford it.
roar pal
stupid people ….anyway fiat 124 spyder its from 1966 do you understand check history

One excellent collaboration between Mazda-Fiat or Fiat-Mazda. Why not one more collaboration for the same type of car or in another category. Finally one excellent result for my opinion between two manufacturers. Bravo. And don't forget the Abarth 124 Spider witch manufacturing in Italy!
