Not much choice Adam, 2nd hand see. Yeah £16K+ new, it's an 04 plate (April 2004) and did a straight swap for my C4. As for the customer satisfaction survey, in the Top Gear version it came 111th out of 150 but the C2 was 125th!!!

Is also immensely quick. Before I bought it I spoke to a guy called Nigel at Angel Tuning (remap all sorts of cars including C2s) and asked his advice. He recommended it to me as a very tuneable engine (the remap alone has gained 45BHP over the standard 115BHP), was torn over the Fabia vRS but the Alfa has a far better image and a tastier interior. I need to sort the brakes and suspension out now though as they aren't really up to the job. In the current wet weather, just by stepping on the power in 3rd will start the car scrabbling for grip (wheels start spinning when turbo hits full boost). I've had a few quick cars in the past but nothing like this.

Don't think there'd be too many Brera owners upo for a straight swap with a 1.6 C4 LOL
