Three 20VTs and a 16V N/A since 1999, with a year's sabbatical in 2002 while I was distracted by a Dancing Donkey. Total mileage is about 250,000 in my hands

10.5 years and only driven for 3 years. Am I doing this right?

I was going to suggest that it might have been a ploy to ensure better reliability, but that would appear to have backfired....

ha ha Chrissy that's just mental

I have had my 20VT for 10 years in June this year, and it now has 137,000 miles in it, i picked it up with just 35,000 on the clock...i won't convert that to £££'s because i might cry!

It is good to read that I am not the only person who has stuck with it...my parents, and the boss, all think I am mad...!

So? I bought a coupe. It's not like I make a habit of it. I'm not addicted.

I can give up any time I like.

Can't I...?

I did successfully give up in around 2006. Followed by around 6 years of being "on the volkswagon group vehicles."

Unfortunately, due to dire personal circumstances, and an increasing sense of loss, I bought another Coupe. I wake in the night with the cold sweats, screaming about a snapped cam belt. My bank manager is refusing to lend me any more for mods. And my other half is now also addicted.

8.5 years on and off. 2nd coupe and just shy of 6 years in. Never owned a carved long, think she'll die with me couldn't part company!

I'm 12 years this August. 3rd owner. Got her with 35k on the clock now sitting just under 118k.

Still love everything about the drive and design!

I don't intend to give her up although everyone thinks I'm mad cos I've easily spent about £20k on keeping her sweet.

Just moved house and the guy in local garage refused to fix her cos it was going to be too costly for the age of the car!

Eh...I'll decide...heart rules head...she's fixed and looking mint (odd rust spot but on the agenda) and I'm

Wow, quite a lot of old timers! We all seem to be suffering with coupeholic syndrome to the detriment of our bank accounts and mental wellbeing at times. Doubt we would change much though given the chance

Test drove the Alfa Twin spark and Fiat 20v turbo at the local Alfa/Fiat Showroom. Went with the Fiat. Ordered the car in October 97, got delivered in May 98. Best wait of my life. Got mats, a full tank of petrol and a Fiat Brava umbrella thrown in as extras - woohooo lol What a drive back home....reversing into the drive took a bit to master at first. Still have her and she was vanilla until 2010. Still only 53k miles and I've enjoyed every mile in her.

7.5 years here and it still puts a smile on my face!

Bought my first in 2003, sold it 8 years later, regretted it and bought another.

It's amazing how many owners don't post on here very often!!
Nice to know there are so many so loyal. Brilliant!

15 years ownership in May

Almost 18 years and it is still my everyday car.

I still need to scratch the turbo itch...

Only 3 years Coupe ownership

11 years this September for me.

13 years with a two day old turbo (No.3).

10 years.

1 year but hope to own it forever

11 Years in a couple of weeks....

1. coupe 16vt bought in 2010, owned it for 2 years, sold it
2. bought a 1.8 16v in 2012, wanted to restore it, but hit a deer at 70km/h, trashed
3. bought a 20V VIS in may 2013 and very happy with it since.

So I've owned 3 coops in 5 years, and the VIS is the best

Only ever bought one brand new car - my moonie plus. That was in Sept 2000 and I still drive it daily. Not quite 90K miles....

Bougth my secondhand in the summer of 1999. Has changed a lightbulb and a fuse this year, but not much else.

Only just over 7 years for me - seems much longer.

Hopefully will be with me for at least as long as I have had the evoluzione (16 years)!

11 years next week.

1st coupe 4 weeks
2nd 10 years and counting
3rd 2 months

The next year may see my coupe ownership finish

Black 20VT July 2003 - nearly 12 years (laid up/stored since 2007)
Blue Plus Spring 2009 - 6 years
