Brera - Any must knows?

[Sycamore]

Hi,

I'm thinking of changing my car and I've been looking at Alfa's, specifically the Brera.

I want something which looks 'different' and stands out in a sea of Fiestas(Current car), Golfs, A3's etc.

The tiny back seats aren't a problem for me, so the Brera is standing out. I've heard they're not a great drive, but I don't mind this all too much. Also, I'm not a great fan of the GT.

Anything I should know in lieu of looking around for one? Not sure on petrol/diesel yet. I do 12k P/a, 95% urban, so I'm slightly put off the diesel.

Thanks!

If you're going for petrol, take the V6 engine over the 2.2 JTS!

Also, if you're not too fussed about rear seats, go for a spider for those rare British summers that we hear about

I probably should've said before; I'm 20, so the V6 is out on account of fuel economy I think. I'm currently driving a Black Edition Fiesta, which I avg 36mpg with, I wouldn't mind dropping to 28-30, but the V6 might kill me!

Also, I love the look of the Spider, although they do seem to fetch a slightly shiner penny than the Brera. Still, I'm considering Alfa's over the usual crap you see most young people in, so I must be heading in the right direction c:
