General for all coupe owners...

[gurly_racer]

i was considering moving onto a coupe, as ive always wanted one.

i was just wondering if anyone could tell me negative and positive information on these.

any comments appreciated!

You should narrow it down. N/A or turbo 16V or 20V.

as said above which one have you got your eye on?

Do a search on the site. There are lots of answers on Coupe ownership there. This question gets asked alot.

rear brakes tend to seize and cambelts and exhaust manifolds on the 20v,s can get expensive and front bottom arms tend too wear out but other then that their all not that problematic

there you go, buyers guide

Plus - they're frickin' amazing!

Cons - they can be money pits, can be thirsty, "coupe paranoia"

hopefully going to look at one in the next week

thanks for the help so far!

Check belts etc as if havent been done that will be your major cost.

hi iv got 20v turbo and its the most awsome drive ever! i was relluctant to buy at first due to costs of maintanance, insurance etc cos im only 21 but once i test drove it my mind was made. if u can make sure its had its cambelt done as thats quite expensive jus make sure its had frequent services etc. if u can get turbo + if its like mine it has full black leather an corrosponding colour on dash an doors an lloks the part! good luck!

Samiboo, I wish that you would smile on your picture, you are a good looking girl but look so unhappy, I hope you don't mind me saying.
