Daytona Dodge Chrysler Jeep RAM
There aren’t many sporty, affordable convertibles available to cruise around Daytona Beach in, and that’s due to vehicles like the 2017 Fiat 124 Spider. One of the best parts of living in Florida is trusting that you can drop the top whether driving around Port Orange or hitting the highway for an adventure. The Spider does have a few competitors, though. We compared the interior refinement, technology, and performance of the 2017 Mazda MX-5 Miata. See for yourself who wins below.
While there are quite a few similarities to the base models of the 2017 Mazda MX-5 Miata and the 2017 Fiat 124 Spider, if you want a refined, comfortable roadster, the choice is easy.
If you were to compare the list of standard and available features of the Fiat and Mazda roadsters side-by-side, you might miss the striking advantage of the Spider. Yes, both feature Bluetooth as standard and an infotainment system on the mid-range trim, but the Fiat offers drivers a modern tech feature and convenience that is in high demand: a standard rearview camera. Not only is the camera non-standard on the Miata, it’s not even available for an upgrade. An automaker could get away with that a few years ago, but not on a 2017 model.
Every ounce of power matters in a sporty two-seat roadster, and while their specs are close, the Fiat 124 Spider comes out ahead of the Mazda Miata.
The best part of a roadster is just how fun it is to drive. So, let us show you the 2017 Fiat 124 Spider so you can decide for yourself if it’s the roadster for you. Contact us for a test drive so you can experience firsthand what sets this car above competitors like the 2017 Mazda MX-5 Miata.
