Fiat Coupe 20V Turbo Plus 2d (2000/X) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Personal import from Germany, less than 50% UK list price.
Costs
Depreciation steep if you paid full UK list price. It needs quality oil and a filter change every 6000 miles. It eats 225/45/16R front tyres every 12,000 miles.

On the road
Driving
You will find nothing better less than £40K.
Performance
Good as standard 220bhp. Get it tuned to 260bhp+ and it is mind blowingly quick.
-
Living with it
Reliability
Faulty rear fog light switch.
Image
They are rare enough to turn heads. The Turbo Plus with the full bodykit and red Brembros give some hint of the 155 MPH top end.
Comfort
The full black leather Reccaros are the best I have ever sat in.

Security and Service
Security
Go for an aftermarket Category One alarm/immobiliser. Also Category One steering wheel lock and garage.
Service
Fiat UK and Fiat GE are worthless. I would only get this car serviced by specialists like L&M International.
