alfa's are comfortable, quick and pretty to look at but cambelts are a serious problem on them!

Alfa GTA

But I wouldn't buy one myself unless I did small mileage but they look stunning! Imagine its a car you buy with your heart, not your head

reviews arent that bad on the alfa, stats suggest its one of the quickest front wheel drive cars you get and it is a lovely looking car

You won't like the power delivery on the Type R if your used to the turbo on yours mate.

ST might be the best bet but i must admit i loved my 6cly Beemer and the 330i is meant to give scoobys a run for there money so that's worth a test drive.

As for the alfa....personally i LOVE the 147 GTA

Type R looks.......different, whether thats good or bad would be up to you I suppose.

Alfa would drop money faster than the rest I'd imagine.

Wouldn't want a focus, too bland personally.

Would have to be the BMW

im not a fan of the 156
my mum has a new civic and the only thing i dont like is the poor visibilty

do fancy another turbo though

i was all for a white focus but the alfa is just so nice looking and interior is far superior looking

always fancied a bmw aswell, was goig to get one befor i got the cupra

BMW or Focus. The BMW will also be ultra comfortable. Although repair/running costs will be higher, so that might be something to consider!
