lukeage 0 Posted December 5, 2007 Well some people love em and some hate em and some are impartial. I have a brand new Brera 2.4 JTDM being delivered in ten days. Did I lay out 27k - not quite.... 300 quid a month and a grand down to cover first three months - after 12 months I can walk away. Not bad I think considering a Corsa would have set me back anywhere near to 225 a month. Would have loved a GT - but hard to find one on lease. Went out for a test drive on Sunday at the AR dealer as not had any experience of a Diesel Alfa and was not to sure on what to expect. I was very pleasantly surprised, it really pulls (200 bhp) and don't sound to half bad as well for diesel. Quite heavy, but comfy, lush interior and has a nice wide stance. Had a choice of black or red or a really yucky metallic blue - it had to black (even though it will be a bitch to clean); Hopefully will be able to get a little something for the weekend as well now work-mobile is covered.

double-6s 0 Posted December 5, 2007 Niceness :) I was shocked at how un-nasty the Alfa diesels are too mate. Decent motorway tools indeed. Did I just say that out loud?!!! :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lukeage 0 Posted December 5, 2007 I thought you might be up still :) A nice tune to them - I was expecting a typical diesel ticker, but instead heard a nice 5 pot growl. Kind of looking forward to it, sod crimbo when you have an alfa on the way, even if it is only a diesel. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The interiors are a great place to be. I bloody love mine even though it is a complete pain in the t*ts much of the time! :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sonicriot13 0 Posted December 6, 2007 Must admit not overly impressed with the interior of the Brera. I though it was a bit bland. I'm sure you'll disagree with me on that! :lol: I'd still have one though... with a V6 in it. 8) Mmmmm... Alfa V6... :luvlove: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alfa V6... :luvlove: My only gripe is the climate control panel is right in front of the gear stick so you need foo man choo fingers to change the settings when in a front facing gear slot. Other then that the layout seems just right. It also has that nice wrap around console like the rado - i.e. the driver is the only one who matters really :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It defo suits that colour though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
