Fiat Abarth 124 Spider or Mazda MX5?

When the Fiat Abarth 124 Spider launched a couple of years ago, I’d just sold my Alfa Romeo 4C and was looking for a replacement.

The Alfa Romeo Giulia hadn’t arrived in Australia but it was on my wish list along with a couple of other brands. I read extensively about the Fiat Abarth 124 Spider and the comments coming from the press were mixed. Ultimately the Fiat stayed where it was in the dealer showroom and I waited for my Giulia QV.

Hi, Bob Aldons, The Car Guy, with info about the very attractive Fiat Abarth 124 Spider.

I wasn’t disappointed that I’d waited as the QV was all sorts of luxury performance vehicle and it fitted nicely into The Car Guy’s garage.

Subsequently to the Alfa being stolen last year, I ended up in a BMW M3, but I’m getting itchy feet for another Italian motor. Not that I’m heading for the Fiat Abarth 124 Spider, but I came across a review on YouTube about it so I thought I’d share the opinions of Tom Holland from Throttle House.

Throttle House is a Canadian based company that “reviews the latest and greatest in the automotive industry. You won’t find boring spec sheet regurgitation here. Instead, you can expect detailed road and track tests that include drag races, timed laps, and general silliness with the fastest cars… we promise not to be dull”

Welcome!

Hello and welcome to my new website thecarguy.com.au!

I know that there’s a lot of websites that offer car reviews, car road tests, opinions on various cars and the like. What makes this site different is that I’m not going to bore you with technical information about the various cars that I review.

I’ve been in the car business for over 39 years. I’ve read the motoring magazines cover to cover. I’ve read the online reviews until my eyes were square. Everywhere that I go, I find motoring journalists talking about car speeds – 0 – 100 km per hour, standing ¼ times, the inclination of this and that at 150klm per hour on a 12.5% gradient curve, in rainy weather – and other stuff that bores me no end.

thecarguy.com.au is taking a different path on the journey to helping you purchase a new car. I’ll do my best to advise you on what I consider to be the most important information when it comes to that major decision to purchase a car. Interior room, features of the car, fuel economy, safety, service prices, resale and lots more. I’ll tell you what I like about a particular car and as importantly, what I don’t like, to find at least to be less than I think a car should have. .

And I’ll ask for your opinion. Take some pics of what you’re driving and tell me and our audience what you particularly like or dislike about your car. Because besides prospective new car buyers, there’s a lot of people who’ll read your comments as used car buyers.

So, jump on board, strap yourself in and let’s start out on the journey with The Car Guy.
