So does anyone here know anything about Fiat Coupes? I found

There's not a lot of Euro drivers on this board. You may have to do some Google/Youtube digging, or maybe fine a Fiat specific forum. That said, Fiat cars are generally expensive to maintain, and parts can be scarce... but for only 2000euros.... maybe no big deal.

What engine is it? I think they're pretty good overall, but you have to keep up on maintenance. And if the previous owner conforms to my idea of the typical Romanian car owner there's gonna be a bunch of issues to catch up on.

Bangled.

I like it when I see one on the road, an interesting design. But I think it must be very unremarkable to drive (which is in the end the deciding factor).

I was thinking of getting one as a first car but ended up not going with it because fiats are known to be unreliable, and I wanted something smaller for the city. 1900 euro isn't too bad of a price though, but be ready for insurance to be a bit higher than it would be for a normal shitbox.

The 5 cilinder "Pratola serra" engine is literally top tier, a masterpiece, BUT the handling is very bad with factory settings and parts, you get a massive understeer also because of the power.

Apart from that, this in particular is a "meme tier" Fiat which is not realiable and also is extremely difficult to find someone who really is able to work on it.

It's a very interesting car and I love the interior.

Be really careful.

Same, it's just so unique but after reading a bit I guess it's not the best first car on the list.

Reliability/fuel consumption shouldn't be a problem since I'm leaving for uni next year and it won't see much driving after that anyway. What could possibly go wrong in just a year? I didn't mention this in my first post, but I'm actually looking for a fun first car to just drive around and this caught my eye since it's very different from everything you usually see here. Good handling and the quality of the ride is indeed more important than design though, which means it's the trusty ol' golf for me.

If these are your motivations, then search for a MX-5 and you should be fine.

>let's do a sporty coupe

Sadly, this.

What's your overall budget? I ended up getting a 2001 initiale, and while it doesn't stand out as much as a fiat coupe does, it runs great and I like the looks a lot. It was quite a bit less expensive than the coupe but getting it serviced and paying all the fees and first quarter insurance put it at about that much, if you need something that's good around the city.

If it's the 4 cyl turbo, I believe it's the same lump as found in the lancia delta and you can retrofit the lancia awd system to fit the coupé.

I want a late model 20v with the recaros and the 6 speed in the same way I want an alfa GT 3.2. It'd be a lovely car, probably not "fast" by today's standards but enough to beat an econobox but there's always that italian bork factor looming over your head and scaring you from really enjoying your ownership.
