What Car?

[gingerjedi]

I've never had any problems and neither has anyone else I've met who has a 159.

Think you get the odd dud with new cars of any make. Also, the 159s have been further improved post 2008.

Funny how I've never bought a new car and I've had no major issues whatsoever, in 22 years I've not had a single fault that required me to visit a dealer.

It certainly pays to let someone else take the depreciation hit and iron out all the faults.

Ditto.

Yet every single review of the 159 says this model is much more reliable than the Alfa's of old, how strange.

It makes a lot more sense if you emphasise the words "Alfa's of old"

All very pretty cars though. There was one of these I used to pass every day on my way to school, I always liked the look of it.

M5 touring - that is always a good choice, regardless of requirements.

VW Passat Diesel Estate, ideal car for staying under the radar as a contractor in the staff car park, cramming in several rugrats and also filling the boot full of crap from the weekly "big shop".. plus the car is built well and I've had several hired ones that I was very impressed with..

You can fit a lot of tapes in the boot too. Ask Milan.

I had an Alfa 166 for a while. Black, with black leather Momo interior. Everything about it was almost erotically beautiful. It was tulipe though.

They do seem to be stereopypically Italian.

If you want the luxury treatment, buy and old Ferrari. Proper tulipe.

The one day of the year that everything worked and the roads were dry and quiet it was a fabulous car. The other 364 days were just awful.

I now own a boring, staid, very conservative Benz. It works.
