1994 Fiat Coupe Plus review from Germany
"Looks great and goes well"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
So far, touch wood, nothing. I have a few things to fix and have booked the car in for a service. There is a noisy air-con vent valve. I want to do the air-con service, and the full 60,000 km service at a main dealer and also perhaps change the cam-belt (expensive).
A couple of bits and pieces need attending to, but nothing major.
General comments?
Car looks great. The standard of fittings inside is a bit cheap but "gives the car it's character", or so they say.
The car is a bit bumpy and I am not sure if it is usual at the moment. It is even bumpier than my last car, (Audi RS2), and feels less under control. We shall see how it behaves at speed.
Headlights seem to have no penetration and so I will try and adjust these tonight.
Overall, the car is in very good condition and I am very pleased with the purchase. Goes very well with, of course, some torque steer. I would be interested in driving the 20v turbo. I shall have to wait and see how it performs in wet and snowy weather as well.
This review is basically a starting point. I will revisit in the future as the experience piles up. Any thoughts now will always be clouded by the ownership of the RS2.
