Does anyone here have any experience of Fiat's Bravo? I'm looking to buy a new car and this has caught my eye:

The pictures aren't of the actual car I've seen, but it is identical. The one I'm considering is a 2008 '08' model with 1.4L Turbo petrol engine outputting 150bhp. It does 0-60 in 8.5 seconds and gets an average of 40mpg (imperial) combined.

Being Italian it'll, no doubt, have dodgy electrics. Both the Alfa Romeo and the FIAT I've owned had that. Apart from that they didn't really give me any problems.

Black is the only color I will ever buy, my last 4 cars were black.

I love it, looks the best when properly waxed and taken care. My opinion only of course.

This car also has the saddle brown interior and it looks stunning against the black.

Saddle brown? DROOL!
Oh, and black paint is by far, the best. Good choice. Is it black sapphire or jet black?

Oh heh thats the A.D.D for yeah. As far as making the switch the evo is faster but not by much and isnt as torquey as far as handling goes its a day and night difference the SAWC and AYC is just a thing of beauty. I do miss the boxer rumble though but then I step into the evo carve a few corners and soon forget. Also pictures don't justify how good the evo looks when you see it in person you can see all the fender flares and body lines. Also I came from a 2002 wrx I heard the 2009 wrx got a hp increase and is almost as fast if not faster then the new sti and is really contending with the new evo.

Camerent baby on show doesnt she look cute?

Here is the camerent company car, we are lucky enough to have a car that is used for a prop and by camerent clients in music videos fashion shoots and promotion work, not only is the car a stunner it has ceramic brakes lowered suspension and subtle engine tweeks so when its not being used just to look good in a shoot its an incredible car to drive after all someone has to get it to the shoot :)
With love Camerent

No we upgraded from a 360 challenge stradale to the 430 before the scuderia was available but it has all the racing mods as the standard 430 didnt really live up to the old 360 challenge stradale,

So its a 430 with ceramics carbon racing seats lowered suspension and geometry tweeks along with a trick exhaust and mild engine tweeks to make her handling more on par with the old cs no point in going for the scuderia as the only real difference would be a few horsepower and the carbon wing mirrors and fancy wheels and more to the point with the replacement for the 430 shipping in the summer doesnt really make the scuderia a good financial bet

Cheers Camerent

Jacked into the net...
Went from a Subaru wrx to a Mitsubishi evo x

Very nice. I drove an Evo X a couple of months back and it is definitely an amazing car. Myself, I prefer a simpler car with less gadgetry and driver aids. So, I got myself one of these...Old school JDM GC8 Impreza WRX STI. Now it only has 300hp, symmetrical AWD and DCCD, but it will do for my current purposes. Lucky I'm used to right hand drive since I'm originally from Australia ;)

Sold the 99 RS to get this... :(

Finally I have arrived.....

A Mitsu Evo was one of my finalists when I was choosing my car. I gotta admit I enjoyed test-driving a Mitsu Evo (the 2009 model) with a 6 speed twin clutch auto. Downshift blips are very nice.

If that car has better interior materials / design, I could've picked that car up instead of the one I chose. As a driver, I want to be surrounded in high quality interior materials.
