really depends on what you want. they serve 2 diff needs. if its flat out peformance that your heart's bleeding for, then go for the coupe. runs like a dog in heat. was once touted as the fastest european fwd production car when it was first released in 93, but imo has lines that only enthusiasts would appreciate. if you're looking for better comfort, more discrete styling and something fresh that has enough low end torque for a zippy town ride, then the bravo gt.

personally, i'd go for the new bravo gt. ideally, the bravo gt with a 2.0 20v turbo block from the coupe :19:. there was a 07 unit in fa italia going for rm105k 2 weeks back.

Fiat Coupe is a troublesome car. Brembo brakes jam, engine overheating often I heard.

I say the Fiat Coupe. I've test driven one a while back('98 20V turbo) and it was awesome.The Fiat Coupe is more practical than you think.The boot is quite big for a sports car, and an average size adult can easily fit in the back seat.The part I like the most about the car is its interior where the metal accent is painted the same colour as the exterior of the car.The design of the car itself is a "love it or hate it" affair, but my personal opinion is that the Fiat Coupe is simply gorgeous.Plus, the car was designed by Pininfarina, the same designer of almost all Ferrari cars.

Reliability is never a strong suit of Italian cars. But we only have two choices these days; you can either buy a reliable but boring car, or an exciting but unreliable one.Your choice.

go get yourself the 20VT+... a good condition used car price is quite reasonable.

good luck!

Correction......the Fiat Coupe was designed by Chris Bangle when he was the designer for Fiat and built by Pininfarina.

that badge isn't worth the rm2 plastic that its cast on. laugh yourself out, but i wouldn't trade 1 ferrari for even 10 hyundais.
