2000 Fiat Coupe Turbo 20v Plus 2.0 5 cylinder 20v turbo

Summary:

Pininfarina design, superb performance... is this a Ferrari?

Faults:

Boot wouldn't open with the key.

Slight turbo problem recently.

General Comments:

Such a terrific car, power to enjoy (or fear at the beginning), nice Recaro seats, very smooth gearbox.

Going 0-100 in under 6.5 seconds is really great. Every time, it's so tempting to press that pedal down. Braking is very impressive.

Pininfarina Ferrari-like design.

Porsche eating, Scooby eating... tyre eating.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I owed one, too, and generally agree with you, but Porsche eating?, Scooby eating? No way on either count! Sure, you'll have a LOT of fun trying to stay with them, but the minute they turn a corner your under-steer will leave you dead on the road by comparison. Get an F355 and try again - I did, and it works!
