Car appreciation... the aesthetics, the engineering, etc

Good for prying stuck gaskets off... is what I assume his excuse is.

I'd be more worried about Hiroshima over on the right!?

Yes, hands are not mine I would point out.

Oh thank fuck for that.

The most expensive aspect of 595 ownership, £100 for an oil change, if you use recommended Selenia. Got a battered 156 as a courtesy car, not bad. What's a Guilietta like as a family car?

I had two giulietta, before I bought my 595 in May. Had from new and they were great , first was a multi air collezione and the second multi air exclusive. I loved them both.
Very different to the 595 which is like taking Tigger for a walk after too much sugar, the multi air was quick tho particularly after a remap to 198bhp .

That's a fine description for the 595. I'll have to test the Alfa then, is reliability a non-problem these days? I've currently got a Peugeot 3008 so my standards aren't high.

Guilietta is a re badged punto.

I didn't have any issues at all in 5 years owning 2 Giulietta. Sorry rebadged Fiat Puntos.

I have a Fiat Punto sporting as well. Or is that a rebadged Alfa Romeo?
And where does it end?

E63 estate plans on hold as new house rental has really small drive.

anything with same performance around GOLF size (GOLF GTIs seem surprisingly non-fast anymore) :-( ???? anyone had any experience of small fast audi's ????

BMW M140i?

S3 is awesomely silly apparently. But everyone will hate you. Rightly so.

Giulietta cloverleaf?

Engine is far, far too small.

Friend has an S4 Avant. It's very capable, but my god it is boring.

Likewise, mum has an A4 Avant 2.0 TFSi (highest spec below S4 I think?) and it does everything but it's not a fun car in any way.

340i estate is a fun car by comparison.

If you have a bork fund, an E90 M3 saloon?

obvious answer, but C63?

Forester sold today. Very sad but my bank balance is happy!

Aren't the usual suspects

Merc A45
Leon R
Hyundai i30n
Civic Type R

Focus RS!! 👍

Generator decided to hand its notice in today. I’m so fed up with car issues.

In the cloverleaf?
It’s the same as in the 4c , 1.8 turbo 240 hp.

Leon R ?!
Civic ?!
Nooooooo!!

Abarth 595 tributo Ferrari!

Don't get me wrong, I don't actually like any of those, just presenting options! The A45 might be a lark however.
