Discussion

Looked at one on Saturday at my local dealers. It was the auto and quite nice. Would have liked to try the manual version but they didnt have one. Is the box in the manual the same as the fiat spider or is it a different box, any ideas?
I guess you mean the Mazda?https://www.topgear.com/car-news/insider/fiat-124-...

Just replaced my wifes this
with this today
must admit I loved the test drive in it, looking forward to picking it up on Wednesday, I suspect I may be saying "shall we just take yours then" a bit more than I have done before
Red Lusso with black leather? Same as mine. You'll love it. I'm nearly 30,000 miles on mine now and really can't find fault with it. with this today

briang, not sure if you fancy 'tweeking' the infotainment system a bit, but there are a couple of really simple mods to improve the central display.
I've only done a couple of the most popular 'tweeks' - removed the 'speed restricted touchscreen feature' - so you can use the touchscreen at any speed, not just when stationary - and installed the really useful speedometer app - https://goo.gl/U4HGGU
Pretty easy to do with a usb stick. See this link for info (it gets very involved, very quickly on this link, but you could just search for the speedo app and speed restriction section and go to the installation instructions). https://goo.gl/rGSjks
Both work a treat. If you fancy getting more involved, then there are other things that you can modify, too.
Definitely worth trying.

Speedo app looks useful. The 124 always feels like it's going way faster than it actually is so if this was in front of her my "Passenger Seat Mounted Rev Limiter" probably wouldn't squeak so often.I've only done a couple of the most popular 'tweeks' - removed the 'speed restricted touchscreen feature' - so you can use the touchscreen at any speed, not just when stationary - and installed the really useful speedometer app - https://goo.gl/U4HGGU

thanks for that, think I would certainly like to enable touch screen when moving, not sure about the speedo one though, not sure I need her to see how quickly I am driving her car I've only done a couple of the most popular 'tweeks' - removed the 'speed restricted touchscreen feature' - so you can use the touchscreen at any speed, not just when stationary - and installed the really useful speedometer app - https://goo.gl/U4HGGU

After a V8 and V10 I guess the first thing you'll notice is -
indeed 
a reading during a week I just trundled about locally in the V10
and when stuck in traffic a few years back in the V8
my son, a fellow petrol head who now drives a BMW M140i took both pics
