Before I bought my MG, I was sure that I wanted an Alfa. I drove a bunch of
them and was always unsatisfied with the way they handled, they had a
disconnected feel to the rear suspension, and each one that I drove felt the
same way. I then drove an MG, basically I was sure I wanted the Alfa, but
I'd try out the MG just to see. What a difference. The MG has a much better
feel to it and I've enjoyed it for that last 2.5 years. The MG is a much
more "primitive" car, but I'm glad I test drove one before I bought an Alfa.
I've had an Italian car before. I had an '85 Bertone X1/9 and I really loved
it. I ended up selling it when I had to many cars, now I'm sorry I didn't
fight harder to keep the darn thing.
