Summary
What does this car say about you?
That I am not a lemming and follow the masses and buy a Mini. I appreciate style and performance.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
They all want one!
Would you buy this car again and why?
Yes. Been a pleasure from day one.
What are you likely to buy next?
As I am likely to change my A4 before the Mito it will be the new Milano due in 2010. They say that the Alfa bug bites you once you own one, definately true in my case. I am a fully converted "Alfista"

Franchise
Did you buy this car new?
Yes

£13,500
When did you buy the car?
May 2009
Did you get a good deal and why?
Had to pay list price and wait 3 months. But who cares it's worth it.
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
Individual styling, great drive, and its not a MINI !!
What was the dealer like?
Very good. Alfa have a bad reputation on this front but Mangoletsi of Knutsford could not have done more.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Great fun. For a 1.4 engine boy does it shift!! It's sporty,comfortable and puts a smile on my face.
What's it like to park?
The optional rear parking sensors are a must, but they are only £275.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Nothing at all.
What's most practical about your car?
Perfect as a second/weekend car. Not too big and lots of fun. My Audi A4 S-line stays on the drive at weekends.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
The DNA button is not just some gimmick. It boosts the turbo, stiffens the steering and makes a great exhaust noise.
