What Car? says
For The Fiat Coupe is a design classic, and it has powerful engines, too
Against It's built with some flimsy trim and it has some irritating reliability problems
Verdict
The Coupe is that rare thing: a usable modern classic. It's still desirable over a decade after it was launched
Go for… 2.0 20v Turbo
Avoid… 2.0 16v
- 1. There's space in the back for two adults, making this a surprisingly practical coupe
- 2. Avoid any car that shows signs of smoke, whether on start up or when the throttle is pressed
- 3. The cambelt must be changed every 36,000 miles to ensure the engine's long life
- 4. Some trim can become creaky over time, but generally the cabin is well put together
- 5. All of the engines provide decent performance and the car handles well
