After spending lots of time in an Alfa over the last few years I've come to really like them, the older ones falls to bits but so do most older cars, nothing a few cable ties can't sort out though
I'd still get the Polo GTI, it looks better than the GTD, there are too many Audi's about now and quite boring to look at, the Alfa seems the only other choice... but it's diesel. It's logical.
