Question:

Hi, Does the Outway fit a 2013 Fiat Abarth. The Abarth has the bit of a spoiler on the top of the rear window, that the other Fiat 500s don't have. Thanks very much.

I called my contact at Thule and they told me that the rear mounted bike carrier that is confirmed as a fit for your 2013 Abarth is the Thule OutWay, part # TH45JV.

One work of caution is when bikes racks are confirmed as a fit for a vehicle with a spoiler, it is always with a factory installed spoiler. If you have an aftermarket spoiler there can be no guarantee any bike carrier will fit.

If you are planning on carrying bikes with alternative frames like kids bikes or women's bikes I recommend using an adapter bar like part # 64005. This attaches between the seat post and the handlebar stem and allows the bike to be carried more level in the carrier while providing additional ground clearance. I have attached a product review video for this adapter bar.
