Nobody, but nobody does coupes like the Italians. Any Italians. Like any large Italian family, you haven't actually left the family, you've just gone to stay with the cousins.

Annoying when that happens... especially if you yourself have to do all the driving.

Mrs WNWL has warmed to latest vehicle in the last fortnight... Golf+ TDI SE

i want one

Mind if I ask what price and milage you picked it up for/with? I'm after a 159 myself, but they're insurance group 12 and the parts -- brake pads £50 for example -- are very expensive.

Yes, it was advertised privately for £8495, I paid £7400 cash with 44k on the clock. I have spent around £1200 on it to get it back up to pristine condition and a full cam belt service. Parts are no dearer than they were for the Stilo to be honest, I put Brembo discs all round and OMP pads, discs set me back £145 front and rear and pads £65 front and rear. A side repeater needed replacing, it's the same as a Bravos, cost me £9.40 from main dealer, you get the picture, all parts are FIAT/Lancia/Alfa, pricing is pretty much the same across the board. Now I will say the stealerships are expensive, my main dealer charges £89 an hour labour my old FIAT dealership used to charge £65 and hour.

However, I'm loving it.........................................
