Default Fiat Coupe..... Opinions?

Anyone had one of these or been in one?
The 20 valve turbo's seem very cheap now and they look good.
I imagine some love them some hate them.
But I believe they are very fast with choice mods..

Anyone had Any Experience with them?

I think they are fucking hideous cars with a shocking interior but saying that I know of one that was circa 400 BHP and was a bit of a rocket, embarassed quite a few very fast car owners

the one I went out in went well and that was stock with just an exhaust, remapped etc they go bloody well


if you can get traction as they spin up quite easily but once rolling perform ok and give a good sound.

I had one very briefly. Nice enough, 5-pot engine sounds nice, decent power. Chassis isn't great.
