I love when I accelerate hard my adrenalin rises in tandem with the beautiful sound the car makes, especially with my custom exhaust. It also gives me true "heart in the mouth" moments and not always for good reasons

Its the HOT Milf of Fiats She's certainly aged well with the unique looks. Very very understated. And I find most cars even premium modern cars very boring inside the coupe is a pleasure to be in always puts a smile on my face getting in it 5 cylinder growl is also very pleasant. Bradders

In my case, it's the Jekyll & Hyde "personality"
On Wednesday, I cruised from the Midlands to Southampton and back in (relative) comfort and (relative) quiet and returned mid 30s mpg.
However, when the mood takes me, it's capable of 0-100 in under ten seconds and is more than capable of embarrassing exotica costing ten or even twenty times as much Haha that is bang on

well, Its off the road more than its on it, the girlfriend hates it,i carnt sit in traffic for too long,it eats fuel,it eats tyres, it creaks, it rattles, it tries its best to rape me of every penny i earn and it encougages me to be unfaithfull and go and buy another car! But on that special day,when everything comes together, and you take her out for a spirited drive on a day off , the noise, the power,the looks all align together to make absolute perfection. But if i had to seetle on one point it would certainly be the power!bit of a cocky view but lots of expensive cars just seem like cannon fodder!

1.looks...sounds and goes like an Italian supercar.. 2. Rarity 3. The fact it is something different. 4. The feel of the turbo pushing me into the back of my seat. 5. Proper 4 seater, 6. Price 7. 0-60 time. 8. All of the above :-)

Or in someone's case on the forum, when they catch themelves crashing THROUGH the shop window PMSL. I'd forgotten all about that story! It'll be 5 years of ownership for me on Wednesday and that has brought the memories flooding back. For me there's no single defining point; it's a combination of what a lot of other people have already said that makes it a superb all-round package and the fact that it's been an ultra-reliable everyday car for the past half decade.

I love third gear. I adore my engine bay(iknow that's sad). But best of all is the people i have met because of it. I am now on first name terms with my bank manager!

It's a gorgeous looking car, fast, fun, very practical for a Coupe styled car, comes in a wide array of colours and dare I say it - it's been a reliable everyday car for me Also, not to mention the great spirit and help on this forum and the friends you make become friends for life If I never had a Coupé I wouldn't have experienced the Big Coop Meet at Whoop Hall,certainly one of the highlights of my Coupé ownership .

As an huge Auto Italian tifosi - I like it as its Italian, its looks, style, performance, noise, cost, smell (OK that maybe AG Leather care!) the feel its something special. Even after a couple of years owning the LE (and it being my 2nd Coop) I still get a buzz driving it and it turns alot of heads. It also still makes me turn round to look at it every time I park up. I also like the fact that to keep running its comparatively cheap for the type of car it is and in having MotorMech not too far away - easy to maintain. I also enjoy cleaning it - great unusual lines. The Coupe will go down in Automotive design history as its known as the first example of Deconstructivism in vehicle design in a production car - that alone will make values rise one day.

And yes given the running costs in class it surely can not be beaten.i couldnt.force my car to consume how my.subaru did and once started i would say my coupe is quicker

The Coupe has a really organic feel to the way it drives. It just feels right (as long as you don't push it to the limits of the suspensions capabilities). Drive at upto say 80% and it drives in a really fluid way. The steering self-centres just right, the gear change is smooth and positive but not too light, and above town speed, the supply suspension belies its vintage origins.

I like the fact that it doesn't bleep at you if you haven't got your seat belt on. I don't want my car to be a policeman.
Horsing around's a serious business.
