# very , erm
interesting.

Quick TJ to tap the b3ta knowledge pool.

Does anyone here drive a late model ( 2007 on ) Fiat? Either a Grande Punto or Bravo.

We need a small car for a runabout and i can get 26% off a Fiat ( or Alfa Romeo but I'm looking at a 1.2-1.4 eco type car and Alfa is not really the best thing, I'd end up buying a fast hatchback and defeating the object )

I've never been a fan of Fiat but know they are better than when I last drove one.
Anyone here drive one and have any thoughts?

celebration? How awful of me. Belated hugs and all that.

It goes well here. Been laid up with man flu but feeling better now.

# I wasn't online for it, I was out of the house eating cow and having a cold arse.
Thank you, though.

# Almost guaranteed to be more reliable than an Alfa...
but then that too is based on reputation rather than fact. A mate of mine had a nightmare Alfa, but that was probably a 2000ish model.

# I had a couple of Alfas
in my boy racer days. They are a lovely enthusiasts car but as you say. Just not terribly reliable. I've already shot my wad on a fantastic looking supercar for this decade and now need a shopping type car as the 2 seater she drives is just not a sensible option to replace with similar due to child baggage.

I love Alfas but it's not an option ( still 26% off is tempting )

# do I want a BMW or a Lexus? I get money off them.
I wonder if I get money off the insurance though. Like...all the money off. All of it.

# I like Lexus
and would always have one over a Merc.
BMW is always my car of choice and is still the best vehicle in the world IMO. I'm talking 5 series though.

# Nice to know.
Fiat have also been dogged with reliability issues but I'm sure that's changing. I'm leaning towards a Bravo as it looks better. I'd rather not buy Fiat at all but in these days of credit crunching I'd be an idiot to not take a 3-5k discount seeing as it is there. ( family employee discount. It also applies to Ducati but I don't think me getting another bike will fit the shopping needs )

# Not yourself, pillock.
Something else.

If that's your poison, get some black candles.

How fucking silly this is, for me to be saying this sort of thing to you.
