yeah it is a lovely colour, looks better in real life :) love the glass roof too, and it came with parrot bluetooth/ipod thing in it too, and its only done 122,000 miles, runs lovely.

I fancied the brera as a company car....until I realised that the kids had no where for their legs!

boot is a good size! but think they would of been better either making it 2 seater or 4 seater with smaller boot, trying to have the rear seats and a boot clearly didnt work !

Beau, thats lovely...Really want one of these but its just the terrible engines and the weight of things that put me off.....A truly preety car and one of Alfas best efforts but as with most Alfas promised greatness and just never delivered...A real shame but as a daily drive I do get it.....A stunning looking car.

Very attractive car - such sharp styling for an everyday driver. Haven't driven one, so I've no idea how well they drive - what's the diesel like?

Andy summorises it well.....a good looking car that never lit the world up.....
Great as a daily, but the S version that was meant to be the drivers car still let you down....,

Diesel is best on that car, the 2.2 i had for a week was slow but wanted more fuel than my Maserati

My 2 year old wont get in....what a design, its bigger than the GT and in hat you can take 4 adults

The GT is frankly a *stupidly* practical design. I simply could not get my head around it.
Hang on this is a two door coupe. You can get four adults in. It's got a huge boot *and* it's a proper hatchback with a flat load area.
What on *earth* were they smoking!
