1998 Fiat Coupe 20V Turbo review from UK and Ireland
"Awesome performance for the price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing at all. Perfect condition inside and out, only owned it for 1 month, but it's a real credit to previous owners.
Buy a well maintained mint example and it should last the distance.
General comments?
Great looks and stonking performance.
Its deceptively fast, you may think its not that quick, but watch that speedo and you will soon realise it's faster than you though. Very easy to drive quickly. The 5cyl engine sounds superb under full acceleration.
The ride is slightly harsh, but with the looks and the performance its more than acceptable.
The bodywork is prone to chips, especially the leading edge (useful haggling tool) Truly a beautiful looking car.
Interior is fantastic, leather seats are very comfortable and the pininfarina styled interior looks great.
It uses Oil so keep an eye on it. Keep her well serviced and don't skimp on consumables i.e. Oil (buy the best) etc...
Oh one final thing ENJOY it, it's a great car, faster than most things on the road.
