Hello from a new owner.

Hi, just a quick hello really

Just brought my 1st alfa, it's a 2009 155bhp veloce in Biancospino White with 24k miles and natural leather seats.

Until now i've had the pleasure (not sure thats the right word as it kills my back) of a facelift focus diesel, so after test driving a couple of multi air mito's (105, 135 with tct), a fiesta (lots of road noise, and same bad back issues) and a civic (more back problems lol) finally settled on the above.

Hopefully should be ready to pick up at the end of the month as i'm having parking sensors fitted and the wife plate moved over to the mito, and i'm really looking forward to getting my mitts on it

Hi and welcome to AO! Stunning choice you've made, the 155s are very good and it looks great in white!

The 155 is great fun mate you'll love it. Drive it in D and you'll never go back!

Looks fab -enjoy!

are the seats supportive in the mito then?

[zhaith]

By what i have seen so far and i've sat in a lot of cars the last week or so it's been the most comfortable seat for both me and my wife within our budget, the fact it has lumbar adjusment on both the driver and passenger seat is a real bonus

I have to warn you that the ride can be a bit... crashy on bad roads. I've had mine for 2 and a half years now and on Edinburgh roads it can get pretty rough.
Did you get the chance to test drive the car?
However, I don't regret one bit of it. It's surprisingly fast for a 1.4 - it's just immensely fun to drive!

yeah we test drove it no way i would have brought it otherwise, personally i found the ride quality to be more than acceptable on the lanes we tried it on around cheshire, certainly no worse than our focus and a hell of a lot better than the fiesta i test drove. It's the first car in years i have actually got excited about getting, the 30th cant come quick enough

I pick up the mito tomorrow, cant wait iit's been a very long 2 weeks lol, and i think i have annoyed everyone i know about it xD.
