What does this car say about you?
I love it. It's my favorite car.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
They all like it.

What are you likely to buy next?
Fiat Grande Punto Abarth, Lancia Delta 1.8 200ps with the skyhook, Maserati 4200... depending on the career progress!

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Changed steering rack and one of the suspension arms, cabin fan and other minor things. Of course, fuel consumption is mediocre, but if you want low consumption get a multijet.
What's most practical about your car?
Cruise control and the automatic gearbox. The gizmos also are nice.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Audio quality is really good. Sunroof is amasing. But the engine is the strong point. A melody from the 5-cylinder each morning. And the downshiftings sound amasing.
