The Fiat Coupe, produced from 1993 to 2002, was a sporty coupe designed and built by Italian automaker Fiat. It was the successor to the Fiat X1/9 and emerged as a stylish and affordable alternative to more established sports cars like the Mazda MX-5. The 1996 model year falls into the first generation of the Coupe, which featured a distinctive wedge-shaped design with a low-slung stance and a raked windshield. The car's compact dimensions and light weight contributed to its nimble handling characteristics, while its available turbocharged engines offered surprising performance. The Fiat Coupe's distinctive styling was penned by famed Italian designer Chris Bangle, known for his later work at BMW. The design incorporated a combination of sharp edges and flowing curves, creating a striking and somewhat futuristic aesthetic. The interior of the Coupe was generally praised for its driver-focused layout and ergonomic design, with well-placed controls and supportive seats.

The 1996 Fiat Coupe offered a range of engine options catering to different tastes and budgets. The base model featured a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine producing 103 horsepower, while the more powerful 1.8-liter engine generated 130 horsepower. Above these options sat the iconic 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, which delivered 147 horsepower in its standard form and a thrilling 220 horsepower in the "Turbo Plus" variant. The Coupe was available with a five-speed manual transmission as standard, with a five-speed automatic option available for some engine configurations. Despite its affordability and sporty character, the Fiat Coupe wasn't without its shortcomings. Some critics pointed to its relatively basic interior materials and somewhat compromised rear cabin space. Nevertheless, the car garnered a dedicated following thanks to its unique design, spirited performance, and Italian flair. The 1996 Fiat Coupe remains a popular choice for enthusiasts seeking a stylish and fun-to-drive classic sports car, with a Factory Service Repair Manual proving invaluable for maintaining and restoring these iconic vehicles.
