Used 2017 FIAT 124 Spider for Sale near Draper, VA

The anatomy of this spider is far more interesting—and fun—than anything you dissected in high school biology class.

A subset of the automotive community insists the answer to every type of “what car should I get?” question is “Mazda Miata.” This passionate response stems from the fact that the Miata is reliable, inexpensive, efficient, and one of the best-handling cars on the market. And despite this, its small size and plucky, upbeat looks have unfairly earned the Miata a reputation as soft or “a hairdresser’s car.”

Truth be told, the Miata is a car I've enjoyed driving. Maybe those stigmas nipped at the back of mind. The Miata also feels underpowered at times. If only there was a car that had all the attributes of the Miata but in a package that had more muscular looks and a stronger engine. The answer is so perfect that it is exactly those things, and it is called the Fiat 124 Spider—recalling an iconic sports car model originally sold from 1966 to 1985 that's been brought back to life for the 2017 model year.
