Overview

Fiat reintroduced the 124 Spider in 2017, 50 years after the original hit the roads. The new 124 Spider’s proud Italian heritage is evident in its distinctive styling and exhaust note, though it’s actually built at Mazda’s plant in Hiroshima, Japan. Because the model only just debuted, it goes into the 2018 model year largely unchanged.
The major addition for 2018 is a new “Red Top Edition” for the Lusso model that features – you guessed it – a red convertible top in addition to a few extra convenience features. The 2018 Fiat 124 Spider is available in Classica, Lusso and Abarth trims, with the base Classica model starting at just $25,000. Drivers can now also choose from three new exterior colors: Puro Bianco Perla, Grigio Chiaro, and Blu Scuro.
Under the hood, the Fiat spices things up with one of the company’s 1.4-liter turbo 4-cylinder that produces 160 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque.
In the Abarth version, the engine gets a slight bump to 164 hp thanks to an improved exhaust, which, by the way, sounds fantastic. Drivers can choose to shift gears on the Spider with a proper 6-speed manual, getting 26 mpg city, 35 highway, 30 combined, or let the car do the work with a 6-speed automatic with paddle shifters, getting 25, 36, 29 while sipping 91-octane gas.
Tipping the scales at just 2,400 pounds, the fiat is a featherweight compared to most other cars on the 2018 market, and while it may be 100 pounds heavier than its Mazda counterpart, it also boasts more horsepower. Any version of the Fiat is going to be an endlessly fun little car on either back roads or highway, but more serious enthusiasts will be tempted by the Abarth model, which boasts a limited-slip differential, Bilstein shocks, stiffer suspension, a strut tower brace, and better Brembo brakes, plus the performance exhaust that gets you a few extra horses. It adds over $6,000 to the base price of a 124 Spider, but considering the goodies added both in the cockpit and under the bodywork, the pluses are worth the price.
Being a small two-seater, the 124 Spider’s luxuries are more streamlined than expansive. The Fiat offers a leather-wrapped steering wheel with silver interior accents. Because any soft top is going to be louder on the road than the average car, it also features extra sound deadening to make for a quieter ride. And although the Fiat’s extra length translates to extra trunk space, 4.94 cubic feet compared to 4.59 isn’t really worth celebrating.
The 124 Classica base model comes somewhat sparsely equipped with manual adjustment for the cloth seats, but does feature power mirrors, air conditioning, cruise control, a USB port, and an auxiliary jack. The Lusso (Italian for “luxury”) version includes leather seats, automatic climate control, fog lights and rain-sensing windshield wipers. The Abarth further adds microfiber inserts to its leather seats, a special instrument cluster, aluminum-trimmed pedals, and a unique Abarth steering wheel and shifter. Abarth models also feature a blacked-out hood. Finally, the new-for-2018 Red Top Edition adds a navigation system, adaptive LED headlights and a nine-speaker stereo from Bose. While the 124 Spider has not been crash tested and safety is clearly not its main function, available options include a rearview camera, rear park assist and blind-spot monitors.

The Fiat 124 Spider Abarth is one of the best values around for a sports car if you dont want to be just another guy in a convertible Mustang. More than comfortable enough for daily driving but more fun than anything else I have owned. Plenty of power because of the light weight. At least once a day someone comments on how great the car looks. If you dont want people asking you about your car at the gas station, this may not be the right car for you.

Prices are up 2.75% year-over-year — a sign of continued demand for this model year.
There are 131 listings available, which suggests a modest amount of inventory for shoppers to compare.
Is the 2018 FIAT 124 Spider a good car?
Yes — the 2018 FIAT 124 Spider earns a 5/5 user rating, which points to strong owner satisfaction. Owners consistently praise its performance, distinctive styling, excellent handling, and fun driving experience, and many also like it as a comfortable daily driver. The overview also shows why it appeals if you want a fun-to-drive convertible with retro-modern styling and strong open-top appeal. With 36.6% of listings marked as good or great deals, you have a meaningful chance to find a competitive offer.
Is the 2018 FIAT 124 Spider reliable?
Owners rate it 5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.
The review summary also points to a car that owners describe as fun, stylish, and enjoyable to live with, which supports the idea that it can be a dependable choice for buyers who value driving enjoyment. For used-car shoppers, the main long-term ownership risk is less about outright satisfaction and more about making sure the specific car you choose has been maintained well and shows no signs of neglect.
What should I look for when buying a used 2018 FIAT 124 Spider?
At 58.8% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
You should start with a vehicle history report so you can separate clean examples from cars with prior damage. After that, prioritize a thorough pre-purchase inspection, especially for bodywork, alignment, and any signs of poor repairs. Because this is a small roadster, focus on overall condition and how well the car has been cared for rather than just the odometer reading.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2018 FIAT 124 Spider?
This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop patiently but should move quickly on the best examples.
- Deal availability: 36.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 131 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices are up 2.75% year-over-year.
- Clean inventory: 58.8% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $16,676, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
What is the 2018 FIAT 124 Spider's resale value?
The current average of $17,613 sits slightly above last year's $17,141.
That upward move suggests the market has held up reasonably well for this model year, which can help support resale value if you buy carefully. If you choose a well-kept example, you may be better positioned to preserve value because buyers tend to respond well to distinctive, enthusiast-friendly cars with strong owner satisfaction. The relatively limited supply can also help keep demand steady when you decide to sell.
Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.
Should I buy a 2018 FIAT 124 Spider or consider a different year?
If you're weighing the 2018 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:
Choose the 2018 if:
- 36.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- At 58.8% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
- Price trend: Prices are up 2.75% year-over-year.
- Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
Consider the 2017 if:
- At $15,154, the 2017 costs less than the current year's $17,613 average.
- It offers a more muscular take on the roadster formula.
The bottom line: If you want the strongest mix of owner satisfaction, current-market support, and a healthy selection of listings, the 2018 is the better default choice. If your priority is spending less upfront, the 2017 is the more budget-friendly path and still delivers the same basic open-top roadster appeal.
