The Fiat Coupe is one of the finest affordable sports coupe you can buy. It may be far removed from other Italian legends like Ferrari and Lamborghini, but it shares their most important ingredient: passion. And just like the greats, the Fiat Coupe is a car thats been visualised, designed and created by enthusiasts. It comes in two guises: the standard 2.0-litre 16v or 20V model and the flagship Turbo 16v or 20v. The two later five-cylinder 20v models are worth the extra money particularly the 220bhp Turbo variant, which really offers supercar performance on a budget. A real flyer, it will reach 60mph from rest in under seven seconds.
Fiat Coupes are lifestyle machines, so they come well equipped enough to ensure that you can impress your neighbours and work colleagues. This means even the cheapest version has driver and passenger airbags, seatbelt pre-tensioners, electric front windows and powered mirrors. Also included are front fog lamps, remote control central locking and power steering. However, a sunroof or (until recently) air conditioning was optional, so its worthwhile hunting down a car with air because its a desirable feature and helps when the time comes to sell on.
When new, this Fiat cost a shade over £20,000, but now the earliest four-cylinder turbo versions can be yours for as little as £4,700, thanks to the unadventurous nature of many British motorists, which has helped prices reduce on the secondhand market.
