Economy
Value
Supercar performance for very reasonable cost. A definite enthusiast car. Must be maintained religiously in order to maintain optimum reliability.
Costs
Service/maintenance needs to be approached with level thinking. Recommended specialist to service and Fiat service history not of much value due to poor Fiat service levels.

On the road
Driving
An excellent driver’s car. Extremely quick, but also easy to use around town.
Performance
All round excellence with handling, acceleration, ride etc. However, you will need to be economical with the accelerator in wet conditions.

Living with it
Reliability
A few niggly problems, but reasonable cost to sort out, mostly cosmetic. Serviced properly, engine is good for 200,000 miles plus.
Image
Concept of either love or hate it. Most owners are enthusiasts. See - www.forum.fiatcoupe.net
Comfort
Seats on later editions are very supportive. Some prefer leather, but can be rather warm in summer - air con a must.

Security and Service
Security
Thatcham Cat 1 as standard. Earlier models suffered from teething problems. Generally, most have been dealer replaced.

Fiat after-sales/service is very disappointing. Use specialist.
