    Default Today I have been driving pt2

    I just had to do it. I knew I wouldn't ever be satisfied until I tried. So today I have been driving........Alfa Brera. Absolutely loved it. With the seat at its lowest setting, I managed a comfortable driving position and it drives very,very nicely. Felt the dogs danglies when I was in it! (Needs 18" wheels though). It's no rocket ship, but spritely enough for an old 'un like me.
    I have to say I am very, very tempted






    There is one slight problem though....two kids and a back seat like this I nearly broke MLC jnr (mk2)s ankles when I was trying to shoehorn him in!

    As I was reading this I was going to say it will fall appart after a couple of years, but I've never owned an Alfa.

    Funny, that's what someone said when I bought my Vectra.."but it's a Vauxhall"

    I've had two, totally trouble free years. I'm a firm believer in the saying if you look after your car it'll look after you.

    (And so far I've heard..."but it's a Saab".."but it's a Peugeot"....."BMW..Ugh"..."Audi,expensive trouble"

    Next time you're out and about count how many old Vauxhalls you see agains old Alfa's!

    OK so many more Vauxhalls are sold but maybe there's a reason for that

    Ignore people who go on and on about Alfa's being bad. Probably never owned one.

    Cracking cars and if under warranty, who cares

    Enjoy it!
