Don't be scared !!!!! Go the new beetle cabrio, apart from a few minor issues with windows which was more of a pain in the butt than problematic, my car is sensational!!!!!! It has just had it's first birthday and it looks and drives like the day it came out of the showroom ..... and it is a daily driver !

mmm. alfas are lovely cars. (mum has a 156 2.5 v6) and it sounds a treat. the engine note is to die for..

is a well designed car in my opinion,

but when u are looking at 2 grand for a timing belt change and service!!!! or is that 2 grand for only timing belt change?? either way. its rediculous. PLUS. they depreciate like shit. an alfa 166 (about 02/03 model) goes for around 38-40k these days. new they are 86K. rediculous.

anyway. i think myself, i would choose a Honda Accord Euro Luxury version, which will only cost about 40k plus on road costs. thats if i wanted a nice plush, safe, powerful enough car 🙂.

if i wanted a sports car i would most likely get the Honda Integra Type S. which is about 43+on road costs. and if there is any money left. spend it on tuning the darn thing to make it about 200kw..sorry. but u just cant beat honda motor quality.
