Fiat Coupe

[prozac]

I believe only the 16V turbo inherited the engine from the Lancia Delta Intrgrale (4cyl turbo). Not sure where the 5cyl turbo 20v is sourced from.

i had a chance to drive the new impreza wrx, not the sti version but the stock wrx that motor image brings in. rated at 220HP, this car is pretty much a comfortable, nice handling, perky sedan. the ride isn't as harsh as evo but you still feel a bit of harshness but i kinda like the bucket seats. big enuff for a fat ass like me. acceleration is nothing to shout about as its only 220hp but quite typical, the turbo kicks in after 3000rpm. interior is pretty ok too, nice dials, nice stereo system but lacks the continental touch.

i've only sat inside the coupe before, never driven it but i must say the interior feels very luxurious and the acceleration not as quick as the wrx but when you cruise at 200kmh on the highway, u will realise why you buy a coupe over the wrx/evo.

the fiat coupe turbo is a different range of car compared to wrx and evo. my opinion is that if you're always driving alone, just go for it as its a pure enthusiast car. but bear in mind the maintenance cost and parts and so on.

of coz u don't get mind boggling acceleration from the coupe as compared to the evos but each car has different build quality and you're rewarded for the sheer driving pleasure and handling of this car. plus, it looks a lot nicer interior wise as compared to the japanese sedan turbo.

i don't know if i should say this or not but from my past experience riding in various frens car, the evo, wrx and the coupe, i'd say the evo and wrx are so darn quick off the line. the kind of feeling when a large lorry smacks into your back and your whole car just pulls away above 3000RPM to redline. the coupe on the other hand has got a rather linear power curve whereby your car just pushes and pushes all the way to redline though acceleration is not as quick as evo. but one thing u realise that once the evo/wrx reaches 140kmh and above, the car tends to "stop pulling away" and this is when the coupe shows it real colour continue to push till you reach 200kmh...and still pulling away.

but of coz each car has their own ads and disads so if you're really serious i suggest you test drive both cars.

Have you tried chop shops? New part would be hard to come by. You sure the fan is broken, or the relay spoilt?

I think if you buy it and clean it up thoroughly, its a nice Pininfarina to drive around. Problem is that engine bay is tight and that 20V engine is in there with the timing belt all on the inside, and need to almost drop the engine to change it.

No such thing as buy and drive.
But it seems all the used price is holding steady.
