Overview

The 2019 Fiat 124 Spider is a compact convertible offered in 3 trims, starting off at a base MSRP $25,440. For that price, it mainly competes with the Volkswagen Beetle Convertible, the Mini Cooper S Convertible, and the Mazda MX-5 Miata. Between 3 trims, the Fiat 124 Spider offers a single powertrain option. It is a 1.4L Turbocharged Inline-4 engine making 160 horsepower and 184lb-ft of torque. However, there is a choice between a 6-speed automatic transmission and a 6-speed manual transmission.

The Fiat 124 Spider reaches 60 mph from zero in 6.8 seconds on its base engine. Depending on the powertrain, the Fiat 124 Spider can manage a combined fuel economy of 30 MPG. While we're on the topic of choices, the 8 striking colors the Fiat 124 Spider comes in really pull you towards itself.

Buying Advice

We have taken a real liking to the 2019 Fiat 124 Spider Lusso trim. Not only does the name make it feel a bit fancy, but the Leather Upholstery, Premium silver rollbar cover, and the Heated seats are too irresistible to pass on for the price tag.

              Cons - ["If battery dies can't open trunk or gas tank.", "Small design can cause other cars on the road to not notice you and making it easier for bigger cars to practically run over you.", "Not ideal for very tall or large people due to the small interior space."]

              This is a great little car overall for the price, and the fact that police have followed me for miles just to pull over and ask me, "What kind of car is that?" When I tell anyone they are shocked at all the attention to details such a small car has. I say small as to not sway you away, but because of its size it's still an extremely comfortable car with beautiful leather interior, comfortable ste...
