• I've been offered a trade for my 159 Sportwagon. It's also an Alfa Romeo. A 2.2 JTS Brera CoupĂ©, manual with 85,000 miles.

    Has anyone any experience with fitting a bike in the back of one? Looks pretty spacious with the seats down! Will my road bikes fit with just front wheel removal? Will my mountain bike fit?

    is it petrol?

    Just sold my car and looking to get a ULEZ friendly petrol estate for the #dadlyf, under 2.0 litre. Looking at Alfa 159, BMW 3, Skoda Octavia and Volvo v50/v70. Any advice is appreciated.

  • Mine is the most ULEZ-unfriendly 2.4JTDM diesel unfortunately but they're great cars! Really would recommend them although they're not the most spacious estate if that's a consideration for #dadlyf?

  • we went for an Octavia, SE 1.4 petrol. Only been a couple of journeys, but so far, very happy with it. Plenty of power and very practical for families, the boot is gigantic. The only thing we need to get used to is the different steering sensation. I think its electronic power steering, rather than hydraulic (?) and so there is less of a direct feel of the road and it's super sensitive to hand movement so it tends to be a little more wavy on motorways. Little one threw up in it on our first motorway outing. I'm really hoping it wasn't the driving /handling!
