Just the roof? Try roof, bonnet, c-pillar and rear light panels. And bumper?

I mentioned that one to the missus only last week and got told to stop being silly!

Stop being silly

Horn buttons.
Ideal for the polite toot, I can find them.

If I want to give the horn of anger during an adrenalin rushed induced situation! I can't find them. And only hit the center of the steering wheel where my last horn ensemble was situated, memory through conditioning.

here a flaw - snapped a wheel bolt today tightening it up!!

never done that on any of my cars before!!

bloody fiats

Rear screen wiper - a more useless piece of metal I have yet to encounter. Just wipes the half of the screen that I DO NOT NEED to clear .

Brilliant car though ,

Ok here's some new ones...

Squeaky steering casing when you are turning (warmer weather)
Hooters made from the most rust inducting metal known to man

My faves so far...

1) Hand pull squeaks on front seats
2) Lousy infra-red fob; When you want to get in the car, its -10 degrees and the locks are frozen solid and having to clean a prime section of window to within an inch of its life for it to work!
3) Sprayed with Poundland own brand paint

Fiat making the Coupe so good looking that nearly 2 decades later people are still buying and driving them.

And in the meantime discontinuing important parts.

self reclining seats, my missus is always quizzing me who ive had in the car

My Coops seats take an hour to wind all the way horizontal and two hours to wind them vertical again

I'd rather ratchety ones any day

Ahhh, reading this after not having my Coup for 18 months has just made me miss it even more.

Not sure if this one was mentioned but my drivers seat (Plus model) needed it's angle winding forward a few degrees every week. I always felt the gear stick was too far forward as well.

^^ I did, two posts up

Have we had the little patch of mist right in front of your face that takes three times as long to clear as the rest of the windscreen?

Only when your mums in the car.

LMFAO!!!! (she is hot though!)

I hope your mates have told you that

I've always thought the fact they bothered to design a folding mechanism for the wing mirrors to be a nice touch.

The fact you can't actually fold them in more than a cm due to their design or that they don't actually stick out any further than door kind of makes it a little pointless...

Magnets in the seat that make all your change fly out of your pocket and hide under the seat rail.

The entire dash of the car is made from a special plastic that nothing in the world will stick to!
So it's very difficult to stick boost gauges and the like in the car, I had to bolt mine to some trim.
Lack of cup holders.
Uber-slippy seats mean that going round corners feels dangerous as hell (got a CG-Lock to cure this, it's amazing!)

How have I missed this thread???? Its great!

Agree with almost everything so far, my one concern though.... SPIDERS!!!!

I don't think manifold issues have been mentioned yet. Squeaky Brembos, temperamental clock, a passenger side speaker that works when it pleases with no apparent loose connection... oh and a world shortage of rear ashtrays!

Still love her though!

Then theres the draught that blows through the back edge of the drivers side window, once you're going over about 50mph. Or is that just mine?

Yeah mine did that until i pulled the rubber seal back up!

If your hips are larger than 32" the LE/Plus seats can be painful after a long journey.

The cold blast of air on my Scottie comes through the inside of the door handles . No such problem with the Moon 6-speed - toasty inside when she gets warmed up

This is brilliant! I agree with all points made.. Would add the dodgy heated rear screen, frozen handbrake, on or off.. Water running off roof all over you if you open the door when it's raining, classic! None of the rubber door/boot seals actually stop water ingress... Rear brakes that don't do much, rear compensator conveniently placed so it rusts solid, blowers that unless on full blast do moving useful.. Oil consumption that should have it's own mpg gauge! A million components that are either rusted, in the process of rusting or have already fallen off! But somehow when it is running, and you put your foot down and waste some a-hole in a new so called sportscar, it all seems worthwhile! ;-)

Oh yeah, and shockingly dim headlights! Or at least lenses that restrict the light! Is there a way of improving them? They are rubbish! I have tried cleaning the outer lense but the lacquer is faded badly... Another great design.. Maybe fiat thought they'd all be wrapped around trees, or lampposts before they were unfit for the road! ;-)

Rear washer jet which (when working correctly) squirts water either over the roof or at cars in the adjacent lane.

There's a rear washer jet

Emmerson,
like you, couldn't believe how bad lights were when I drove at night in coupe

For a quick fix, Halfords are doing 2 for 1 Extreme brilliance H1 and they have made a big difference - got 4 for £40

I'll check it out this weekend ;-) thanks for the tip! ;-)
