Hey Folks.

As much as I love my Bravo i've been thinking for a while that a want a newer car.
My budget isnt colasol and i want to stick with italian.

So the inevitable choices are a 3dr Stilo or a Alfa 147??

Anybody fancy giving me their opinion on this matter...

Thanks
Lee
 
well the Alfa is a lovely car BUT there are some unloved sheds out there.


DON'T get a sillyspeed!!! They break!

DO get the top spec you can get, as these hold there value better than the lower, cloth seated brother/ sisters.



Stilo - if you can get over the looks, they are well spec, cheap car - again get the best spec possible, the JTDm 130bhp is the one to get!



I had the same choice a few months back and I went for a Mk5 Golf :) lol

Go for the new Bravo, mate. They're simply brilliant with 150 horsepowers.
 
Havent got the money for a new Bravo fella.
And if i did id rather eat it than spend it on a new bravo.
 
Its not the looks that put me off the Stilo as i do like the loook of them.
Its the £5 budget interior which is a far cry even from that of its ancestor - the bravo.
Drove a 1.6 sport active petrol last week and i felt like i was driving a bus.
PLus everything felt like it was gonna snap on me:
Door handles
Hand brake
pedals.!!
Why do you recommend the tractor engine over the petrol engine??
Thanks
 
The petrols are under powered in the heavier stilo. Unless you're talking about abarth 2.4 20v. 170hp. 0-60 in 8.3 seconds. 30mpg.

The tractor, 1.9 mjtd 150hp, has a 0-60 of 8.5 seconds and 50mpg!

But getting a 150 is hard, as they were only around from 06-07 i think. The other diesels are good too tho. they come in 85/115/120/140 varients if i remember correctly. 120/140/150 are 16v diesels where the 85 and 115 are 8v.

So if you get a diesel, you have the eco of a 1.2 but the power to almost match the abarth. Its the best of both worlds. If you can put up with the diesel sound that is.

I agree, interior isnt very good, I once owned a bravo mk2 X reg I wouldnt say the interior is a step down the stilo, but its still ugly.



as you can probably tell, I own a mjtd 150. =] cant recommend it enough.
