    Personal preference, methinks. It feels built like a rock. Sadly, it
    drives like one, too.

    Still, breaks down every now and then.

    Meh. My 156 feel better put together than my ex-bosse's Saab 9-5 and my
    ex-minion's Merc C200 nasty thing.

    Both our daily Alfa's were *much* better put together than the POS Asta
    1.6 slug SWMBO got as a loan car.

    Not so much in terms of fit and finish, they were pretty much
    comparable, but the quality of the materials used seemed very different.

    YMMV obviously ;)

    Exactly. If they don't have doors, how can you tell?

  5. Using the patented Mavis Beacon "Hunt&Peck" Technique, The Older
    I think it was a Yugo, IIRC. And the problem was that they left the
    braking stuff on the LHS and ran actuating rods over to the right.

    The bulkhead was so flimsy that it could flex and move the actuating
    rods, hence applying the brakes. Hard.
    New Mini Clubman suicide door, for example...

  6. There's a reason for that door only being on one side, iirc it's that
    the fuel tank filler stuff gets in the way on the opposite side.
