Fiat spyder7/1/2023 ![]() ![]() It is the one that is more settled, more relaxed and does not have to be constantly pushed inbetween the 5.000 to 7.000 rpm rev-range. Where the Asian twin-brother lacks a bit in styling, the Fiat counters with a great deal of refinement, passion and delicacy, just a hugely polished stimulation for the human eye. To me, in comparison to the MX-5, this car seems to be the richer one of the two. Also, from the back, the car resembles a topless mini-version of the Maserati GranTourismo which makes it just that little bit more exquisite. ![]() The marginally tilted back-lights and its inwards-shaped shoulders give the car a more aggressive and yet, more luxurious look. Whilst things like the slightly longer bonnet, the round headlamps or the front grill are almost identical to its predecessor, they do not feel out-dated, as they were given a beautiful and modern touch to make it look more fresh and lively.Įspecially on the backside, I think, the designers have done an amazing job. The styling is very much inspired by the original 124 of the mid-sixtees which is instatntly recognizeable, even at first glance. It just sounds too good to be true.Īlthough I may have complained about the 124 Spider’s looks, after seeing lots and lots of pictures and videos, I do find it rather pretty. As if that weren’t enough, for its low price it represents great value for money, as well. A car with beautiful Italian styling, and sophisticated and durable Japanese engineering. With the 124 Spider though, for once, it really seems like we are getting the best of both worlds. However, to get all of these outstanding features in a Fiat is something unheard of as most of Italia’s open-top cruisers were solely built to be shown off to your neighbours in Milan and then to call your repairshop because one of your doors has just come off. And rightfully so, as it is one of the most rewarding cars to drive and with its remarkable gearbox, there is no question why the little Mazda has dominated the convertible sports car market for such a long time. Car-enthusiasts all over the world have fallen in love with the driving feel and feedback of the MX-5. In addition to what seems to be car-wonderland already, Japanese car makers in particular are famous for building very reliable and long-lasting vehicles, a section Italian cars have struggled in for noumerous decades. Combined with its great handling abilities and a foldable roof, the Japanese bug leaves you very little room for pointing out weak spots. The MX-5 is world-known for its pefect weight-distribution and well-engineered chasis. ![]() But the fact that this car inheritied about 90% of the MX-5’s genetics, makes it a very promising piece of kit. Yes, yes, I know, everybody has talked about it being basically an MX-5 with a Fiat badge on the steering wheel and I won’t ramble on about it too much, I promise. ![]()
