Great feedback from all.

I did test drive the first generation 156 Selespeed about 3 years ago, did find the gear change rather slow and jerky.... hoping that there's been some improvement since. Must say the MINI CVT isn't all that quick either.

WEEMAN82, which model 147 did you drive ? - 1.6 or 2.0 Did you find the Alfa engine more responsive, more power ?

The thing is, I can get a 2.0 147 for the same price as a MC here... thinking I'll get more hp/$

Hope to test drive the 147 this weekend and make a comparison...
