Fiat Coupe 20V Turbo 2d (1998/S) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Bargain second-hand supercar.
Costs
Parts, fuel, insurance are all expensive but worth it. I have never seen more than 26 mpg except for on the motorway when 40+ is possible.

On the road
Driving
Superb on the road and track. Ride can be a bit harsh, but it is a sports car.
Performance
Pulls and pulls, then pulls some more. This kind of power corrupts - you have to be careful to hold on to your licence!

Living with it
Reliability
This isn"t your everyday run of the mill Punto. It needs a little TLC and it will look after you. No problems bar broken air con due to lack of use (when do you need it in the UK?!)
Image
Not many cars look this good unless you are spending over £40k.
Comfort
Good Recaro seats. Can accommodate four. Very firm ride.

Security and Service
Security
Immobiliser must be good as the car has gone nowhere yet. Have had two new alarms due to faults - not so good.
Service
The dealer network don"t seem too good in my area, and seem to know little about the car. Luckily there are a few good websites for info with forums like www.coupe-sport.co.uk
