The Alfa Romeo Giulia is the only new car I would buy

For other new automobiles, of the hundreds of versions on provide, only a small handful seriously charm to me, bizarrely most currently being provided by makers beginning with an ‘A’.

The Abarth 695 scorching hatch (if possible with manual transmission, if you can still uncover one particular) has strong enchantment, even with its firm journey and minimal practicality, as does the Alfa Romeo Giulia, the greatest-wanting new automobile you can buy right now in my humble view, and excellent to generate. The new Alpine A110 also floats my boat, possessing owned and operate a couple of illustrations of the ‘classic’ 1970s unique numerous a long time in the past when they ended up nonetheless mainly not known and economical in the Uk. The primary A110’s down-side of possessing a rear-mounted motor (one thing else I are likely to shy away from) has last but not least now been corrected above 60 many years later by positioning the motor in the centre, exactly where it ought to be for the best managing features.

Absent from the Abarth, Alfa Romeo and Alpine, not several of the other new vehicles we can now all obtain (funds inclined) appeal to me. A Caterham Seven nonetheless normally takes some beating for exhilaration and a feeling of involvement, but I have by now been there and performed that with creaking bones and a undesirable again to assistance remind me of all of these joyous moments I’ve had driving a single. In a comparable vein, but continue to also restricted in what it can do in serious world motoring, I discover the very small new Citroen Ami EV incredibly interesting, inspite of it currently being two-seats only, with a 30mph major speed and restrictive 30-mile range.
