New dealer at Colinton Road seems MILES better already than the old Arnold Clarke dual Fiat/Alfa on Gorgie Road.

Been in a few times, and even thought they know I'm leasing from another compnay and not buying from them they've been more than helpful even offering a car for a day to try.

After looking at the usual suspects (A4, 3 series and C-Class) the 159 was better built interior wise than any of them (no, really), was nicer to drive than the A4 and C-Class and better looking than the 3-Series.

You get loads more kit for your cash too, leather as standard, leccy seats etc.

Looked at the 159 Sportwagon as my daily driver, but my old 156 not being a paragon of reliability scared me somewhat

Good looking motor all the same

Really nice car. I had one as a hire car when I was in Italy in May but unfortunately it was a low hire car spec. It did have about 10ks on the clock when I got it so I made sure it was returned to Avis nicely bedded in

Loved the looks of it and kept glancing back everytime we parked it. Must admit the black is lovely, better than the bronze we had:

Love the way the dials are hidden so the passenger does not see the speed you are doing

Why do italian plates look so much cooler than (legal) UK ones?
