Volvo's aren't too bad but I really hate the back of the C30.

I'll take a Dutch Spyker though. :mrgreen:
The Alfa's don't really have reliabilty problems anymore. My Uncles mate had a company car, drove a 159 for three years and had no problems. When the time came he swapped it to a merc and its been back to the garage 5 times in 6 months. He can't stand it and "wants my alfa back" :lol:

The Volvo's are nice, my boss has the S60 D5. My uncle has just got the Leon FR 2.0 diesel, i tried to get him to look at the R-Design C30 but again, the back is a bit minging. Its that boot.

The Spyker cars are mental. Just went on website, look at the D8 Peking-Paris 8O properly mental. Love it

Alfa and Skoda are still carrying the label though.

One of my brothers friends is loaded and wanted to get a car (always cycled or got the bus) so his friends all convinced him to get an Alfa, he knew nothing about cars so got an Alfa, sold it after a month as it was constantly breaking down. Hasn't bought a car since. My uncle has 2 Mercs and hasn't had too many problems but was charged £900 for a light which stopped working.

Skoda's prices are staying pretty high so good investment.

Yes, Alfa is still carrying that label, which is a shame. My mate has a Giulietta QV, awesome car.
I currently drive an Abarth Grande Punto tuned to 200 hp, love it.
Spyker is mental indeed, but a bit out of my price range :mrgreen:

Those Abarth Punto's and Abarth (fiat) 500 are nippy little things and relatively subtle in design changes. Would have one of them over an RS, too in your face.

Didn't Spyker get sold recently?

That's true. Spyker has been sold to the American investmentgroup North Street Capital for 32 million euros.
