Opinions?
A old school mate has just got one, gave me a shot in it last night. I absolutley loved it. The noise with full stainless exhaust is awesome!Pulls nice too. Quiet alot of lag though, but soon as you hit 3.5k it kicks in hard. Just waiting for the new clutch then map time! Steering is quiet heavy though, makes it feel nice at high speed but at low speed abit lumpy
Its on a 1999 reg car and cost just £2200!
Anyone had a shot at them. What did you think?

One goes past my house everyday out of a 30 zone into a national speed limit, and the noise it makes  Awesome! I get up and run to the window everytime thinking its something special, then realise its a fiat

awsome car, pinifiorina styling an an interior to match that of a ferrari.
They were the fastest fwd car money could buy at the time of release, 155+mph flat out for the 6 speed and 0-60 in 6 seconds. Still very few, if any fwd cars on sale today that can match that!
one also wont totb fwd handling class and overall class so they can be made to corner too.
They dont rust either and for fiats are reliable too, engines are bullet proof but be sure to check its service history as cambelts are often avoided due to the £500 cost of getting it done.
otherwise i plan on getting a nice red one with factory bodykit and drop its on its bum and ramp it up to 300bhp for shits and giggles.

People still dont realise the immense performance they offer and how cheap they are. It wont be long before there are loads going around with m3 mirrors and tsw 18's on them with slash cut exhausts and dump valves lol

Yer it is tight. Poped the bonnet (well its like the whole front end up cums up as the wings are part of it etc) and there is 'stuff right up tight to the wheels etc!
But yer, i wouldnt half mind one! I was into the rwd german straight 6 machines, but i think i have changed
