Used 2020 FIAT 124 Spider Convertible Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2020 Fiat 124 Spider is available in three trim levels: the relatively bare-bones Classica, the more comprehensively equipped Lusso and the aggressive Abarth. All three trims are powered by a turbocharged 1.4-liter four-cylinder engine (160 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque in Classica and Lusso trims, 164 hp and 184 lb-ft in Abarth trim).

Power goes to the rear wheels through either a standard six-speed manual transmission or an optional six-speed automatic.

The base Classica trim comes with the essentials — such as air conditioning, a rearview camera and Bluetooth — as well as some nicer touches, such as keyless entry, push-button start and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. There are compromises, though. The steering wheel raises and lowers but doesn't telescope, for example, and the infotainment display is a tiny, little thing at just 3 inches wide.

The Lusso trim comes standard with leather, heated seats, an upgraded infotainment system with a 7-inch display, and the Technology Group features. The Fiat 124 Spider Abarth adds to the Lusso's features with a performance-tuned suspension, limited-slip differential and selectable drive modes. Boosting the Abarth's sporting bona fides are optional Brembo brakes, an upgraded exhaust system, and Recaro leather and simulated-suede sport seats.

The Lusso and the Abarth also offer a couple of option packages with features such as navigation, a Bose sound system, blind-spot and rear cross-traffic warning systems, and rear parking sensors.

Which 124 Spider trim does Edmunds recommend?

We figure most drivers considering the Fiat 124 Spider want more performance and engagement than the typical car, and for that reason we recommend the Abarth. It offers more athletic handling and upgraded brakes for a modest sum more than the midrange Lusso trim. No matter which model you choose, avoid the automatic transmission if you can. The manual is supremely better and is probably one of the easiest stick shifts to learn on, too.
