    What does this car say about you?

    Different and quirky. There are more Golfs on the road than you can shake a stick at the bravos overlooked which makes it a individuals car. More italian love making than german mundane.

    What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

    Impressed but lack of space in the back for adults means no more offering lifts for four.

    Would you buy this car again and why?

    Yes if they continued along the same lines of build quality and extras for less.

    What are you likely to buy next?

    The Alfa show room was part of the Fiat dealer. Dreams perhaps

    Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

    Never would i normally give a Fiat a first glance or a second until i happened upon this one. Once inside I was suprised to find the build quality more VW than the Fiats of old and happy to find a wealth of extras out of my price range in other brands.

    What was the dealer like?

    A little keen but generally honest you should make sure your not rushed and have time to read through the extras such as warranty and the GAP insurance that they sell. Otherwise helpful a courteous.
