Shootout: the Fiat Abarth 124 Spider versus Mazda MX5 - what would you choose?
Wow this is going back in time! It was 2016 when the Fiat brought out the 124 Spider and I was reviewing cars for a local TV channel at the time, Ignition. There is no way you can review the Fiat without comparing it with the benchmark - the iconic MX5 - especially when you consider that the 124 Spider is well essentially a MX5! Luckily my work colleague, Brenwin Naidoo, had Japan in his corner (garage) at the time, making for a really fun shootout. They certainly not identical twins visually but would the turbo versus naturally aspirated change the DNA too?
