The Features of the Fiat 124 Spider

In this part of the review, we are going to focus on the features of the Fiat 124 Spider. As a starting point, we can talk about the exterior design. 124 Spider mainly based and built on the fourth-generation Mazda MX-5 Miata. In terms of exterior design features, they are similar models. However, 124 Spider has got a slightly bigger design, which separates it from the MX-5. On the other hand, 124 Spider is not an exact copy of the MX-5. It has got a curvy body design, which makes it different than the other roadster models in industry. We can say that it is successfully combining a sportive look with a soft and positive characteristic. Now, we can move on to the interior design features of the Fiat 124 Spider. When we step into the cabin, the elegant Italian design welcomes us! Each detail on the cabin looks perfectly placed and designed for maximum efficiency. The color options for the cabin details are limited but qualified. You can choose classic black or elegant brown. Although 124 Spider is not a luxury-class vehicle, the quality of the material it offers is quite impressive. Finally, let's talk about the technological features of the Fiat 124 Spider. Maybe the most attractive part of the 124 Spider is the folding roof system. With this system you can have a pleasant journey experience in a roadster. Feeling the fresh wind on your face while driving your car is a priceless experience. In addition to that, 124 Spider is using all of the current technologies about the today’s car industry such as; Multi-Touch Infotainment Screen supported with FIAT Connect, Bose Sound System integrated in the head restraints and driving safety technologies.

The Fuel Consumption of the Fiat 124 Spider

Finally, we are going to focus on the fuel consumption of the Fiat 124 Spider. We usually work on popular engine types and making analyses on them by checking details for an efficient fuel economy analysis. While choosing the right car, you need specific and simple information. That’s why we are using distinction method to make things easier for you. We use two main categories to make a useful distinction such as; The Most Economical One and The Most Powerful One. However, Fiat 124 Spider’s most commonly used engine type is 1.4 MultiAir. So, we are going to analyze this engine type with the useful details. 1.4 has got a four cylindered inner engine structure with a 1368 cm3 size. It is using an automatically integrated transmission system. 1.4 has got a petrol based fuel injection system. So, we can say that it is a petrol type engine. It is capable of producing 140 horsepower and a torque of 5000 RPM. According to the official factory data, 1.4 MultiAir has got a 9,0lt/100km (which refers to 31 MPG in the UK) fuel consumption in Urban usage. However, this fuel consumption rate decreasing to 5,0lt/100km (which refers to 56 MPG in the UK) in Extra Urban usage such as; Highways or Long Distance Trip. When we combine these two fuel consumption data, we get a 6,0lt/100km (which refers to 47 MPG in the UK) average MPG performance.
