Taking the plunge - in France...

rmfrance · 28-02-2008

Hello All,

After too long driving something pretty banal for most of the mileage I notch up I've finally reached a stage where I can get back to enjoying motoring again - by buying an Alfa.

Currently abandoning the first plan to go for a nice 147 m-jet TI (too small) and now pondering a 156 SW. Found a nice 175bhp 2.4, 2004 Selective model with Alfa fsh, but unsure about the extra weight, fuel consumption and insurance costs, compared with the 140bhp 1.9.

Any thoughts, please?

What spec was the 1,9?
Another Selective?

Thanks - it's good to be here.

Since I'm obviously (but inadvertently) off-topic in the Introductions area, I'll continue the 'which 156' theme with a new post in the appropriate model area.

See you there...
