    Rattles tinny and quite frankly the thought of having an accident in one is too frightening to contemplate.

    But just like driving a rocket powered rollerskate.:D

    Depends what you want from a car.

    I had one for two weeks whilst I was between company cars.

    It was USELESS for anything other than having fun driving.

    Shopping was a nightmare, you can't get anymore than two in the vehicle, we even had bother with two of us and a four year old.

    I wasn't overly impressed with the build quality, you had to roll the window down when shutting the door or it rattled continuously.

    But you are so low to the ground if feels like you are doing twice the normal speed and handles fantastically

    If you just want to pull or enjoy your driving, buy it, but expect the usual fiat build quality problems.

    If you're young and single go for it. Otherwise get a nice volvo estate.

    i Couldn't really advise on the value for money though. i'm sure theres some quality web sites out like auto trader to tell you if it is a bargain or not, but with these there is usually a couple in the trader with next to no millage that some trophy wife or pensioner has had.

    RE: Depends what you want from a car.

    If you fancy spending the same again in repairs go for it. We had a couple of Alfas (newer than P reg) at work and they both died. Replacement engines, knackered electrics, rattles, 1 fire...but good to drive!

    A friend of mine is allowed any company car

    As long as it has at least 4 seats
    isnt a camper van
    isnt an Alfa Romeo

    (apparantly the camper van one was added when someone actually got one) shutting the stable door etc

    See if you can guess on the Alfa
