Summary
What does this car say about you?
Like to break the mould...
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
They all love it. I've never owned a car which has had so many positive comments or so many stares for that matter.
Would you buy this car again and why?
No I wouldn't... purely because I'm scared it would cost a fortune in repairs later down the line... it's already too late for that actually!
What are you likely to buy next?
Japanese most likely... not entirely sure what model!
-
Buying experience
Type of dealer you bought from?
Independent
Did you buy this car new?
No
What price did you pay?
£7,400
When did you buy the car?
April 2015
Did you get a good deal and why?
No, I think I paid over the odds.
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
Always wanted a Brera.
What was the dealer like?
Okay - not pushy... but there was no negotiation whatever. Wouldn't budge even with though I paid in cash.
-
Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Brilliant to drive... when it's working properly. Massive amount of torque... overtaking is a doddle.
What's it like to park?
Awkward... hard to judge when parallel parking, but the sensors are helpful.
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Yes... unfortunately. Needed a new inlet manifold after 4 months - best part of £1200. Randomly... in the 4 months that I've owned it, I've replaced two headlight bulbs and one break light.
What's most practical about your car?
Nothing much practical about the Brera... typical coupe - no space in the back whatsoever. Massive boot however.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Panoramic sunroof is great.
