    Fiat Coupe Yes or No?

    Hello guys,i have some problems with deciding if to buy a fiat coupe or not.The car is for my lady and it's her first one so i start asking some questions about it and the response wose very bad.I heard that they have really serious problems on the electrical part,that everything electrical just stop working or brake,things like lights or heat matrix.In my country there are a few coupe's so i don't have where to ask to be sure so i need your help.I want to buy a n/a one to have a lower fuel consumption.Please give me some advices what to do or what are the bad things about this car.Thanks and sorry for my bad english.Cheers,Alex

    they are great cars, but very expensive to repair, they are quite reliable but its the replacement of general wear and tear items which costs.

    Just about, I repaced the common fault coolant hose, and it had a clutch and cambelt in the 18 months I had it.
    Obviously the n/a clutches will last longer than the turbo clutches.
    Not one elecrtical fault in it.

    I would have another one in a second! Just for the NOOOIZZEE!
