1999 Fiat Coupe review from UK and Ireland
"Italian passion at its very best"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Alarm/immobiliser is intermittent - needs replacing.
Washer hose to windscreen wiper snapped - nothing major.
General comments?
There's something magical about this car - it's the sum of the whole rather than individual things.
Stunning looks, one of the snazziest interiors ever, a world class chassis, astonishing grip and performance, superb detailing, are just to mention a few. MPG is surprisingly good.
A few let downs - standard seats are comfy, but offer no lateral support; ride is somewhat harsh; niggly electrical faults can be a pain. However, the sheer exhilaration of the driving experience makes up easily for the niggles.
If you scrimp on servicing, expect trouble.
