Well I took the 2.4 diesel 200bhp Alfa Brera for a test drive today.

H'mm nope not the one for me. Lovely car to look at but that's about it.

I don't know if there is anything wrong with it. It just does not have anything that makes me want to buy it difficult to explain. It is a smashing looking car though but defo just a two seater.

Suffers from tyres noise and you do get loud wind noise from drivers window area. They don't do anthracite roof lining.

well the Z4 coupe or M coupe due out this summer.

but if the Z4 coupe only has 5 gears it won't be that I drove a Z4 recently and that screamed out for a sixth gear. The Z4 M roadster had 6 gears. The M coupe is a bit £££ TBH.

I've sat in the new civic but don't know about it.

Fiona,

What about the new Audi TT? It looks quite nice from the piccies we have seen on here.

My dad has had his old shape TT for a good couple of years now. Its the 225bhp quattro with leather and bose sounds. Never had a spot of bother from it. Not even the smallest rattle from the inside so if the new one is even better then what a car it will be. My Dads TT sticks to the road like glue. Although he does like driving my mini. We swap very occasionaly

I wouldn't get a 330cd - the new 3 series coupe comes out at the end of the year.

Fifth gear have a review of the MZ4 on Monday night, might be worth checking it out.

You should have test driven one of the petrol models as the engines sound fantastic when used properly thats what helps to give the proper alfa characteristic :D:cool:
