Fiat Coupe 20V Turbo 2d (1997/R) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Hell of a lot of car for your money.
Costs
None incurred as yet, but have heard that changing the cambelt can be costly. Don't let Fiat tell you they need to take the whole engine out tough! They will try and charge you around £1200, but you can get this done for around £400.

On the road
Driving
Perfectly balanced chasis, very precise.
Performance
Having gone from a Cinquecento sporting to this which does 0-60 in a little over 6 seconds, I would say it's pretty damn quick! Be careful though you get used to this sort of power very quickly and will need to spend a small fortune to get a quicker car!

Living with it
Reliability
So far so good! Always starts first time and feels like the car is doing its best to please you!
Image
I think it looks mean, but very stylish at the same time. Completely individual - you either love it or hate it!
Comfort
Seats are very comfortable, hold you in pretty well, driving position is pretty good as well.
-
Security and Service
Security
The alarm is very very loud! Also the horn sounds pretty meaty!
Service
Have had trouble with Fiat in the past, but have found myself a good dealer now and have no complaints.
