Re: Re: I need help (alfa vs mini?)

This is exactly what I'm thinking.  The reason why I'm looking is because I
miss the city driving fun of my Alfa Spider.  I used to love dodging in and
out of traffic, whipping around corners (please no flames about
irresponsible driving).  The traffic in my city gets worse and worse all the
time.  To get into any sort of wide open countryside, where one can enjoy a
GT car, I have to drive 45 minutes.  Small, nimble and go-kart-like is good
for me.  I'm just wondering about build quality and reliability.  I know
British cars are notorious for spending too much time in the shop.
