What do you love most about your coupe?

So .in light of my other post, what do you love? There must be something otherwise we wouldn't have people on there 3rd coupe.

For me, the roomy cabin and the looks, nothing else looks the same. The same car over the range can be so completely different that in effect it's a completely different car that only looks the same

For me it's the feel. The fact that it's connected to your feet and hands and responds when you ask.

It's like playing a Steinway piano after something more modest.

Yes there are ECU's but (unless it's a VIS) it's not drive-by-wire...

And the design - stunning

Believe it or not, a great part of ownership is also the type of people that tend to own them,
I have made some truly great friends because of the car. Joe, Steve, Reuben, Neil, Jake, Renie, mir, I can go on and on. The amount of awsome clever Intresting people I have shared travels with, Simon, Neil, Dave, the amount of crazy people I have meet, crazy hitchhiker who wanted to share a caravan with me.
Honestly the list goes on, the trip to Alton towers, the track days, the sprint sessions, I have have been welcomed in to homes, shared meals. Because of a forum of a car.

So yeh, there are some bits I love

Actually you put your finger on it Sam, I've made more friends than any other time through owning these, right up and down the country and over in Europe, been to Spa and Assen - stuff I'd never dreamed of doing.

So sod all the coop dislikes elsewhere, that well makes up for it

I forgot to mention enjoyable evening out with Simon and possably drinking to much real ale
That was a tough training day the next day!

I love the fact that with a medium(ish) level of modding, a little old Fiat can pull this off...



Yes, you can make a lot of ordinary cars as fast as/faster than a supercar, but not many can be made to look so good that they don't seem embarrassed standing next to one.

Actually, I love this fact so much that I shall post the photo again, along with a video clip to demonstrate also how excited I am by this.

Good old Rick.

I can only echo what’s been said regarding making friends due to the Coop and what it represents. The cars owners tend to be interesting and have a different view from the crowd. It’s the only car I have owned and look back after parking up and think every time, I own that Anyone that knows me on here will know that I could blether on for hours about the Coop.

Please start a thread called "Jimboy Blethering on about the Coop."

I would actually be very interested to read about your experiences of driving a Coop in the misty highlands of Scotland as well as other aspects of living in Scotland that enhance the whole Coop experience!

First time I sat in a Coupe in a showroom I really liked the retro dash styling, and I still love the look of the car, inside and out. Plus the engine, that smooth surge of turbo that you just have to wait for a little bit - ok so turbo lag is so last century, but characterful.

Performance, quietness, shape, colour, classy feel and design, ride, room, sound system and seats (now upgraded), individuality, rarity, general condition (despite age).

NO, don't get him started ...

I love the practicality it has, considering the type of car it is, ie: passengers have room in the back

I love driving it and how it drives.

I love the interior and the comfort (except for dropped head lining sitting on my head)

I love the Club/forum and the people I've met through it

I love the variety of colours they were made in.

I've used mine almost every day for 14 years and I have to say/dare I say it, I love the reliability of it

Unsure if this is for the "love" or "hate" thread, but "our lad in Dubai" has offered this for our delectation
