I quite fancy a 4-seater drop-top. The new 3-series looks rather nice.

When I was going to hand back my Brera, I actually had a deposit down on a Eos. Yeah, I know it's ugly as hell - but also impressively well built lots of fun with a ton of cool gadgets.

New Audi A4's out soon isn't it - might be worth the wait if it's as good to drive as the TT is supposed to be. And it'll look better than the Bimmer.

Hunter, please, please don't buy a BMW - you'll forget how to indicate

Seriously though, there's loads of cars out there - I'd have a good look before deciding if I were you

You just cant, the C class Sport looks good, outside at least, bit plasticky inside.

There is definitely a difference in colour a totally different shade even to the untrained eye. you are certainly not just imagining that.
Good luck in getting it sorted mate.

What other people have said about the new 3 series stands with me also, and I do have a little soft spot for them, even though they are soulless. Just let Mango's sort it, and complain to ARUK and go to the press as often as you can til you get all costs back, and then if you can't enjoy the car then think about changing it.

You won't be happy with the 325d though, its an underpowered 3.0 diesel lump. Either get the 320d Alpina - 200bhp and a lot lighter, or get the proper 3.0d with the full 230bhp, or if you can afford it the 335d is supposed to be a monster

get a petrol

Its a shame; because you look at his photo's and think 'could there be a better looking saloon' (well obviously yes - it could be in Alfa Red; but apart from that ) but then you have to consider the cr@p he's suffered and an apparently dis-interested manufacturer

well there had to be SOME reason i s'ppose

I'd go Alpina to, got to be one of the best sporting diesel out there, but at a price £26.5k.
I've driven two so far, and they never cease to amaze me how good they are.

evo review of the D3

Why not have a look at a Jag?

Hunter, I knew of you problems first time around but just caught up on this.

I really feel for your mate - this is terrible. I hope Mangos get this sorted out but TBH even a new door/repray whatever is always going to look a little different.

Surely the car (once again) should not have been sold like this.


Reject it and demand a brand new 159 - easier said than done I know

Best of luck mate

Lets not go WOT with BMW just yet chaps...

Going to start another thread when/if its viable to change to another marque. My one remaining thread of hope with Alfa is going to be tested monday AM

Cheers Dpat.

Lets see what happens on Monday

Hope things work out for you Hunter... Wouldnt like to see you jump ship
I've tried different marques myself but find i'm always dissapointed and feel flat when i own/drive them.

Im sure you feel flat at the moment but hopefully AR will sort you out.
Fingers crossed and chin up and all that!

Just wondering how it went today?

Indeed, what's occuring Hunter

I do hope it went well and you'll stay in the Alfa fold.

Cheers,
