Looking for Owner Testimonials Fiat vs Abarth vs MX5
Hi Guys,
I am currently looking for a new car and I found the 124 Spider / Abarth and absolutely fell in love with the look and also the Story behind it. Specifically the Abarth tickles my fancy alot.
I am considering buying one, but don't want it to be an impulse buy, so I am looking for some testimonails of Owners and the likes.
Having a quick look around the internet, the 2016/17 Fiat124er go for like 17.000 - 20.000€ in my region (DACH) with ~50.000km.
The Abarth's are about 25.000€ also ~50.000km and from 2016/17.
While the price range is fine for me, one could get a "new" (below 2000km driven) 2026 MX5 for 30.000€ in my region. While I do like the elongated look of the Abarth alot more than the short stubbed MX5, the financial responsible part of my brain struggles to justify paying "only" 5.000€ less for a 10 year old (similar) car.
So what would you say are the benefits of the Abarth / Fiat compared to getting a new MX5 ?
