Absolutely agreed.

I meant rock solid compared to some fake semi auto Aygo or something with a transmission made of cardboard.

Apparently the IS200 is super popular in Ireland and they've gone up in price partly because so many are being exported. True?

Sadly it's a manual but have a look on Autotrader or fb marketplace for autos as they are rock solid! And probably a good sub-3k option, comfortable safe and easy to drive.

Yeah, jazz, Yaris, Corolla etc are all on the radar

Some of the Jazzes are not proper autos but semi auto bullshit so be careful. Avoid the shit iShifts pre 2011. Also dont buy one from pre 2009 unless v cheap as theyre a prime target for cat converter theft. Hope an auto car works out well!!

Im guessing the Corolla isn’t automatic? We’re looking for a first time car, which is automatic for Ames

The Corolla Hybrid is automatic..and very very nice to drive. Great car.

Just don't let it sit through a pandemic lock down without running the engine for 45 mins / week.

Writing from experience, the older they get, the more they need doing. On top of other recent things, my 21 year old has just had her original brake pipes replaced
The trouble is sir, it's a big engine in a tiny little engine bay. Over 3 hours work.

I'm still trying to keep it on the table. Better price, worse, tatty looking body, not sure about colour scheme or water mark, but, it's a 3.2 and serviced and sold by a reputable group

tbf to you hash tag, Alfa do make very good looking cars. So at least you have some nice eye-candy whilst waiting for the AA to rock up.

Despite being tall, I've had more fun driving my GTV than any other car
"In fact, a certain Jeremy Clarkson went so far as to say "you can’t be a true petrolhead until you’ve owned an Alfa Romeo" in an episode of Top Gear."

Why The Old Saying 'You Can't Be A True Petrolhead Until You've Owned An Alfa' Is Utter Nonsense

A certain Top Gear presenter uttered this phrase a few years ago, creating an irritating myth that's refused to go away...

Think the only Alfas I'd like to own are the 1750/2000 Bertone GTV and the early Alfetta GTV, both beautiful shapes.

Oh and a Giulietta SS.

I bought a '22 Cupra Formentor about three weeks ago, it's a very nice car to drive, but for fun I still prefer to drive my '11 GTD Golf. It has less bhp but its so much more fun to drive quickly. As much as I know I should get rid of it, it's hardly used now, I might keep it just for the fun of it.

Guiletta SS or Guila SS. Beautiful car but not sure about driving it.
My Brera was very comfortable but very stodgy to drive. Whereas my GTV ( phase 3, V6 3.2) has a beautiful engine and goes like stink but not that comfortable. Sadly, she might have to go next summer.

Ps the 156s are pretty, practical and can come with a V6 but I really can't go there.

Oh and a Montreal.

Im selling my IS200 auto for £1000. Fucking great car will be sad to see it go but im off to Portugal for the winter. It's been a fun 6 months in it.

Looks like the Irish lads who are mad for them are gonna come take it. Anyone sold a car for export before? How hard is it and what do I do?

The Stelvio Quadrifoglio is the only SUV I've ever fancied.

The jellymoulds, the RZ or SZ are supposed to be great handling cars.

Levante or a big step up, the Aston.
