Fiat (Page 3)

Both the Mazda Miata and Fiat 124 Spider have their charms, but the winner depends on one’s priorities.

The Miata may have some advantages, but the Fiat 124 Spider has one advantage we think is under-reported.

We tracked two of America’s hottest roadsters to learn their personalities.

In Fiat’s second full month of sales, some things are coming into focus.

Since the Fiat 500 Abarth was introduced, it has been my favorite car in the subcompact class without any real competition, but with the introduction of the automatic transmission for the Abarth, could the turbocharged 500 be as much fun? Not quite – but it is very close.

The 2017 Fiat 124 Spider Classica and Lusso trims with automatic transmission are missing a key feature.

Fiat has just made picking the Abarth version of its new 124 Spider much easier.

Hyundai joins General Motors, Kia and Fiat Chrysler in ARC probe, while Takata recall affects 31 makes.

The first list of vehicles for Forza Horizon 3 has been announced and there are some Mopar heavy hitters on that list, including the Hellcat Challenger, the Hellcat Charger, several different Vipers and a couple of classic Mopar muscle cars – along with a few Jeeps, a pair of Fiats and a Chrysler 300 SRT.

The reviews are in on the 2017 Fiat 124 Spider. Here is what the critics say.

Will the new Fiat 124 Spider sell in big enough numbers to rival the Miata?

The Fiat 124 bring more power and more torque, but is slower than the Mazda Miata. Here’s why.

The Hiroshima-built 2017 Fiat 124 Spider is finally here. Not a moment too soon for dealers.

The 2017 Fiat 124 Spider Abarth is more powerful, more nimble and more fun to drive than the Mazda Miata on which it is based and after spending a day driving the new drop-top Fiat – I have no problem declaring the 124 Spider Abarth my new favorite affordable roadster sold in the USA.

The new 2017 Fiat Spider really flies. Watch carefully.

I recently had a chance to spend a week behind the wheel of the 2016 Fiat 500X in the premium Trekking trim and after putting the newest Italian import through the paces of my everyday life – I understand completely why this Fiat is quickly becoming the most popular of the modern lineup.

Fiat is clearly looking for volume with these prices.

Many people like the idea of a Fiat 124 with more power, but what if it isn’t faster than a Miata?

Holiday car deals and discounts always amaze with their low lease prices, but I had never seen one can lease a 2016 Fiat 500e in California for only 69 dollars per month. However, there is a catch.

The all-new 124 Spider from Fiat has finally arrived. Here are all the details we have.

This past Friday, the Chrysler Group teased a few of the vehicles that they are bringing to SEMA and while we were enamored with the prospect of an all-wheel drive Dodge Challenger – there were also teasers of what appear to be the Chrysler 300, the Ram 1500 Rebel and a Fiat 500X which will join the AWD muscle car in the huge Mopar display.

If you are a Chrysler Group or General Motors fan who likes to row your own gears, you are in luck, as "FCA" and GM offer far more models with manual transmissions than do any of the other automakers doing business in the United States – with the Chrysler Group taking the slight edge overall.

If you have $22,000 to spend on a new car and you are looking for a subcompact, the 2015 Honda Fit and the 2015 Fiat 500 are two very good and very different options – and today we look at the advantages that each of these cars have based on that budget.

Will the 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata-based Fiat be an Abarth, a Spyder or an Abarth Spyder?

Sadly in the next installment of the beloved Bond series, James Bond will not be sporting the British born Aston Martin DB5 in the upcoming release of the latest 007 adventure. The MI6 secret agent, played by some of the greatest actors in the industry from Roger Moore, Sean Connery to the debonair Pierce Bronsan, will now be in the Italian spirit behind the wheel of the Fiat 500 taking us on numerous thrill chases through the streets of the Vatican.

I recently had a chance to spend some time in the 2014 Fiat 500L and while Im generally not a fan of these compact family utility vehicles, I was truly impressed with how well the design of the smaller Fiat 500 has been transformed into the roomy and surprisingly fun to drive 500L.

A slightly refreshed all-electric 2015 Fiat 500e is now available at select studios in California and Oregon. If you live in one of those states and are in the market for an EV, the 500e deserves serious consideration on lease price alone.

With as much seriousness as the topic deserves, we compare the relative excitement of the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat to that of the 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata.

Fiat is not alone among the world’s leading automakers in thinking that EVs are not working out. Toyota feels the same way.

Mazda teased us a little more today, but the overall Miata picture is starting to come into focus.
