Personally My usual rule when buying a car is to steer clear of French and Italian cars.
But I have been really drawn to these lately and from looking online they seem to be getting decent reviews compared to alfas of the past.
I think they are stunning looking especially the TI version and are something a bit different.

Was just wondering of anyone had any experience with them, how would they drive compared to a BMW or VW ?
Build quality etc.
reliability?

This one in particular has caught my attention

The mini is great and still enjoying driving it but I'm finding it a bit lacking in the practicality side of things so considering trying to sell it in January.
