Stunning, great handing, lots of grip, very fast and great fun.

Very fast, very smooth engine. 0 to 60 in under 7 secs.

Living with it
Reliability
Mechanically very good. Electrics a bit hopeless. Fiat dealers seem pretty useless - find a specialist
Image
A bit different. Not as common as an Audi TT, Pininfarina badges...
Comfort
Comfy but unsupportive seats, fairly hard ride, lots of space and headroom, slightly heavy controls.

Security and Service
Security
Going to attract attention. Immobiliser probably puts off thieves.
Service
Fiat dealer couldn't have done a worse job. Some very good specialists out there, so check out Coupe Owners Club.
