    Silly prices for mundane consumables.

  • On the road

    It was the best thing I had driven. Lots of grins.

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Wakes up at 4,700rpm. Lots of gear changing required (not a bad thing).

    Service

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Camden Alfa/Fiat awful. I had to have an argument in the showroom to get a new pair of wipers (finally took them off a spider in the show room). Horrible people to deal with.
