Abarth 124 Spider

One of the Abarth’s biggest failings is the lack of adjustment in its interior. With a steering wheel that doesn’t adjust for reach, it’s very tricky for taller drivers to find an ideal position; either your arms are ramrod straight, your knees are too bent or your head is thrust into the canvas roof. For some, that alone is enough to write the 124 Spider off. If you do fit inside however, you’ll find a low driving position in a nicely solid interior with a good solid quality of materials and some nice Abarth embellishments; there are scorpion badge emblems dotted around, and a nice numbered plaque between the seats. The infotainment system is operated by a dial behind the gearstick; just be careful not to knock it with your elbow when cycling through the gears.
