Its for a very different purpose though than my Alfa was and it does that job very well, don't even have to granny it for 50 odd mpg either which is not bad for a 1600kg bus that has a DPF, how do the new Alfas get it so wrong from their diesels, they are more aerodynamic, lighter but even grannying it I couldn't get 40mpg out of the 159/Brera 1.9 or 2.4.
I know they do a job......but what annoys me is when friends with 1 or 2 children say "I'd have another Sports car if it wasn't for the kids"

??????? You've only got 1 !!!!!! And he / she is 21 !!!!!

If you've got three kids then a Kiddie Carrier is a must !!! any less then IMO it's a bit daft really ??!!
