Anonymous Unregistered A	I'm looking at buying a fiat coupe as they look real nice inside and out, and go like shit off a shovel. but the burning question i put towards you is witch model. the 16v turbo, the 20v turbo or the 20v turbo plus. being in the brittish armed forces in germany i have frequently been blasted by poxy krouts (ze germans) in their plastic peices of crap and i'm getting pissed off with it. i think it's about time i gave them a bit of good old fashion what for from good old blightey, all help would be appreciated..

T he 16VT are gett ing on a bit now, so 20Vt is your best bet. No differences however, in terms of power between 20Vt and plus. Death-rattle-tastic

However the turning circle is a joke on the 20VT. If I were you, and you have the money, I would invest in a late 20VT plus. They offer the best in terms of looks, power, resale value, and motorway crusing with the extra sixth gear. Coopless!

Alternative Autos are very good, but I can't find a website address for them with a current Price List.... Ex 20VT - now something far more sensible'ish...
