Mollox Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 £35K new, so about £20K now, even for a 5 year old one. 350bhp of turbo'd madness IIRC, the new Litchfield is a Type 20 isn't it? I'd choose a Megane Renaultsport 250 (or whatever) they're called - saw a new one this morning and I'd take that any day over a Scirocco R If it was just for the looks, it's be an Alfa Brera Prodrive. Lush :D No no, I meant the 415bhp one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Man Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 I've tried a Brera and they're nose heavy, shonky brakes and Italian build quality - but that's not why I'd have one - they're one of the best looking cars around at the minute After reading this thread last night I specced up an Alfa Romeo's Giulietta (Cloverleaf) and I have to say you get a lot of metal for your £££....I wonder if the smaller and no doubt lighter Turbo engines reduce the nose heavy handling....If it was`t for the perceived "iffy" build quality I`d seriously consider the 235bhp cloverleaf.....I wonder if Alfa will slot this engine in the Brera.....It could be a winner IMO. A friend had an Alfa 156 10yrs ago and I can`t recall him having any major issues although I do remember him slating the service he received at the dealers.....From memory the 156 also seemed to be pretty well screwed together. I think a surfing session on the net may be in order to see what current owners think of their Stylish but reputably temperamental Alfa`s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelwind101 Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 See how subtle and understated that was? Sadly no german to swap it for.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarmac_Terrorist Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 If I was to change the GTI for something non-German then I think I would have to consider a Focus RS, although I quite like the Fiat 500 Abarths. As for the BMW, I would probably look at a Honda Accord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VRO6MO Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 I would change my R32 for an imported JDM Honda Civic Type-R. Or even Mugen RR version of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stooH Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 I'd change my GTI for an Octavia vRS. Czech you see... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
