Just picked up my 2.2 '08 Brera S from Chris Variava, what a car and what a dealer. I have dealt with a fair few Alfa dealers over my Alfa career but these guys are ace, thanks if you are reading AO!
Very easy guys to deal with and true to every word. The car was bought over the phone, px'ing my GT Blackline and was described to the letter. Top rating to Tim and Richard, very easy and fair deal, I will be back.
That's the dealer, as for the car , WOW. I think I am going to enjoy the move from GT to Brera.
Was actaully thinking of getting a S myself, hopefully there will be a few used ones around in a few months time. Saw a 2.2 red S the other week for only £17k with only 6,000 on the clock. When I rang to arange a viewing it had already gone.....gutted.
Its a firm ride, but very well damped and doesn't seem to 'jiggle' about like my GTs. Very pleased with the ride, but then again Prodrive spent a lot of time developing the set up so should be good I guess.
Re other 159's, I can only speak for early low spec models which I had from time to tome as loaners on the road. These seemed to be a bit wallowy in comparison to the Brera, however the 3.2s I drove on one of the Alfa Track days seemed a lot more together (4WD) and have heard good things about the Ti's which would have been my alternative choice had I needed to carry the family round more than I do.
Great choice, the enjoyment just gets better. Got mine from Variava's too, Tim and richard are goods lads giving brilliant service. 400 mile round trip but worth it. ENJOY:thumbs:
Hey,
I swapped my Blackline for a Touring Grey S! I absolutely love mine...I didnt think it was posible for a car to get so much attention!
Where abouts in Derbyshire are you...anywhere near Ilkeston / Derby area?
I wonder if it comes with the door cards and center column?
Nice opportunity though
