Just wanted to say hi and thank you for this very useful forum. There are not so many Coupes here in Finland and it´s a bit hard to find answers to "basic questions" from any Finnish forums. So this forum has been very interesting to read and has already given me a lot of useful information. I'll keep on reading and hopefully can share some practical hints with you too.

Here's a couple of pics of my 2.0 16V:

Thanks :-) I've had it only for about four months now. I did not mean to use it for my everyday driving, but it's so much fun that I have to drive it. My other car is Alfa 156 (which I like very much too!). I use that if the weather gets REALLY cold. Now it's only -12C. That's ok for coop :-D

How does the coupe handle in all the snow you have?

My car has a bit lower and lot stiffer suspension than standard and it does not make things easier with snow. But anyway it handles quite well. It understeers a bit as usual with fwd cars but does nothing unpredictable. Basically everything depends on tyres. Most of people here in Finland use studded tyres (me too) during winter season.

Heater is surprisingly good. Good enough for -25C as I've noticed smile
