Spotted a couple around the 2009/10 mark at £6k-ish on Autotrader.Hard to find one in my budget but would be nice should one crop up.
Think my Kawasaki ZZR1400 threw around 184 at the back wheel. An exilerhating experience if ever.
My second generation Miata was wonderful. Couldn't ask for a better car. The only comments I can make is that driving at highway speeds it was sometimes hard to hear the radio, and the aluminum hood got some ding marks on it while parked during a hale storm.MX-5. Impractical, enormous fun and available for very reasonable money.
I resemble that remark.MX5s are only driven by female aerobics instructors, ladies' hairdressers a nd bald-headed 50-somethings wearing baseball caps .
'Its not really happy until you're past 100(mph)'. Sounds frighteningly quick -
People have reported 300+ bhp from the 1.9tdi haven't they? Hybrid turbos and suchlike! Bet that makes for some horrific torque-steer!I'm biased as I have one but spend 2 grand on a mk 1 Fabia TDI and take a cruise with the rest. I have one. I drove a 1.4 Multiair in the Guilia and wasn't that impressed. Had no character like Alfa motors in the past and wasn't that quick. If you can afford the juice you could probably get a previous generation Focus ST for well under your budget too. Lovely 2.5 Volvo 5 pot. Sounds like an old Audi Quattro blasting through Kielder forest. I think you would be disappointed with the Copen: looks a bit daft and not fast.

Every serious car enthusiast should own an Alfa during their life.And if I happen to be a bald headed baseball hat wearing ladies hairdresser? As I am
To be honest the 1.4 Mito is heading my list at the moment. Reviews read crap but owners appear to love them. Between that and a 28000 Copen I know of but limited storage space does worry.
I'm not gay,..but I don't mind helping them out when they're busy.I bet your boyfriend has a butch car though?
The earlier supercharged ones are a hoot. 170 bhp and no turbo lag. Very thirsty however. The earlier turbo ones have had widely reported issues with timing but look great cars. I think it's about 2009< which saw improvements to reliability.Trust me a Cooper S will be better try one before taking any plunge on the an Alfa. Even has a better exhaust note. Ciminal how boring Alfas are now imho 500 hp Giulia QF excepted lol.
Nice looking cars too! Congrats on your purchase.To be utterly boring I went for a Vauxhall GTC 1.4T. Not the most exciting car, but compared to the Mito a damn sight more comfortable, responsive and solid feeling. And the insurance was considerably cheaper.
But it does only have 3 doors which was essential so as to make it awkward for parents. We have a four door for that.
Altogether very happy.......otherwise I wouldn't have bought it.
