Glad to get rid of the ML, and yet again I've bought another petrol with a bit of poke.
I started the search for a 5 door, auto, petrol, 2016+ and 200bhp + within a budget, and that narrowed a search from 3000 cars down to around 20 in Norn Iron, cos I wasn't going to drive the ML to a dealer across the water.
Headed up on Saturday to Mallusk early doors to look at an “immaculate" black golf R. Mmmmmm, glad I didn't have far to come, I'll leave it at that. Headed over to VW and Alfa for a nosey. It was coin toss over a gti or this. Once the dealer mentioned a 3 year warranty, a rare car , and looking over it to see how clean it was, it was time take it for a run. Great craic and reminded me so much of the JCW mini I had back in 2006. Nothing like the R or S3s, they are solid, steady motors, this can only be best described as "enaging" with a bit or torque steer thrown in for fun.
Anyhow, it's home now
Sept 2017 Alfa Romeo Giulietta 1.75 TBi 240 Veloce 5dr TCT- Same engine as the 4C and weighs about 1300kg
Oh and warranty until Sept 2022. Not that I’ll ever see that with this.
