FIAT 124 Spider Single Generation (NF)

2017–2020 · NF · convertible

Built on the fourth-generation Mazda MX-5 (ND) chassis, manufactured alongside the Miata at Mazda's Hiroshima factory. Differs from the MX-5 in engine (1.4L MultiAir turbo I4, 160hp Classica/Lusso; 164hp Abarth), retuned shocks, slightly longer body, and FIAT/Abarth-specific styling. Abarth final assembly happened in Turin with model-specific parts installed on the Japanese-built roadster. Discontinued 2020; 41,321 units built worldwide.

Watch out: MultiAir actuator unit failure on the 1.4L turbo — same internal solenoid oil-leak failure mode that affects every MultiAir-equipped FIAT and Alfa. The chassis itself is Miata-ND-grade reliable, but the FIAT-specific powertrain pulls the durability story down. Aftermarket support is thinner than the Mazda twin — many Miata mods don't bolt straight on.
