Good choice of car and you have perfectly explained how I felt when I first picked up my Abarth 124 Spider around a month ago and I have driven it daily for work and i absolutely love her. I came from multiple purchases of Mini JCW and prior to that the Honda Mugen and I have to say this is the most beautiful and fun car I have owned. Mine has an upgraded Monza exhaust and a firmware update to sort out the sloppy gearbox changes via a power gate kit and well worth the money.
I have the GT model with the carbon fibre roof. They are a very enjoyable car to drive. Just one small thing - Abarth isn't actually a division of Fiat, they still remain an independent company.
Ah I’m actually very glad to hear that. Friends constantly taking the piss haha. However I must say there is a Fiat Software SD card in the console slot 😂
I have an abarth 124 spider too, love it! Mine is red and 6spd manual, very fun car. Also there are 2 more good Size storage compartments, 1 behind each seat
Beautiful color. I have the same car, but in sliver with the black bonnet. Here in the US they didn't offer this blue color for the abarth model otherwise I would have chosen it. Cheers
The android auto / apple car play must have been retro fitted by someone. It isn't an option on the 124 as far as I know. Needs the dashboard pulling out to put in the hardware.
The Android Auto is a simple software update. I have Android Auto in mine. The Apple Carplay is a dash out job Both are actually overrated and I dpn't see what's so special about either.

Glad you agree mate! Do you have a link to that kit? 👏🏻
Here is a link to another RUclipsr Stef who shows how to use the Poergate3+ that I have ruclips.net/video/St2GUZgX5S0/видео.html

Congratulations man! I own the manual version in white and black since 2017 and I feel exactly the same excitement and joy as the first day.
Now you had it for 11 months of ownership, it be interesting you do a video and hear your thoughts of pros & cons of the car.
I only had it for 6 months. Got EV now hahaha
@@Dann14593 only 6months!!! was it that bad that you had to change it? lol
@@cheungman83 Was mainly bought to do the NC500 in Scotland! Was well used! 🤙🏻

It is a beautiful colour! 🔵 Love to the US Abarths! 🇺🇸
Are these expensive to insure?
Was only about £800 at the time. Might have changed now

£180 optional extra I believe!
@@Dann14593 oh ok. Maybe that's just for the Abarth then. I don't think its an option on the Fiat 124. I got ours fitted .
