Well the Spanish arent known for their car making skills and all Alfas do is break down.

 seats are VW's these days. Alfas will break down, so u just gotta be prepared to take that into account, great driving engines tho.

Seats are part of VAG so they're not that bad, actually quite the opposite
Edit: that's 1-1 then T-dot

My mate has a Seat Leon FR and it's pretty fucking good. Goes like shit off a shovel, looks pretty sleek and he's not had any problems with it so far, had it just over 2 years.

my old man has a boxster s and loves it - though the mpg is a tad fruity if the right clog is used a lot and obv servicing etc is £££ compared to most, though I would be happy with any of those you talk about above - all v nice motors.

I would agree if this was 1986, but would question such a generalisation nowadays as I think both these have improved muchos in the last 5 years. I have heard though that Alfa dealers are not v helpful

I fancied a cayman last year but kinda felt like i couldnt afford a 'proper' porsche buying that model so i guess id feel the same in buying a boxster.
Id buy an A4 cab with the money, nice looking motor that

in a recent survey, 99 out of 100 crumpets did not recognise that a cayman was not a 'proper' porsche.

Yeah I know Seat is VW now but theres still a stigma for me - I also find it hard to believe that a Seat Leon goes like shit off a shovel; (no offence)

Do they even care what badge it is? I've often pointed out ferraris, lambos, astons etc only to be told they look like "toy cars" and they arent fussed

Porsche Boxters are dentist cars and Caymans do make fools get out of your way on the motorway but they are just soccer mom range rovers.
Get an old 968 or a TVR Cerbera for £7000. Fuck there was even a TVR Tuscan going for £9000.

They care if it's your car, and not "that bloke over there's Ferrari".

Bitches care about the inside of your whip, because thats where they have to sit, the ideal car would be this, the interior is basically a chanel handbag;

You're confusing the Cayman with the Cayenne. Also, TVRs are notorious for poor build quality.

Is that interior ideal as there is a dildo located in the seats?
