I love the way Alfa ownership seemingly entitles you to brand a car you've probably never driven as 'Boring', probably becuase it has the wrong badge, or is 'just a Ford' ;)
If you wish to whinge about Mondeos being boring, I will continue to complain about Alfas being unreliable. Of course, it seems neither are true these days, but an eye for an eye, eh :)

Er, Michael, I used to sell Mondeos for a living.

it may seem that way however I have driven both the Golf and a mondeo and I'm happy to report that I found neither experience particularly exciting. Ergo I tend to think of them as boring.
I prefer to think of this as lees of a whinge more of an expression of a POV not unlike all those who slag Alfas.

@NoWheels...
I don't see how you should be entitled to a vote because you would presumably vote them all out as one anyway thus rendering the whole point behind the garage... er... pointless

JaB, wrong assumption :)
I wouldn't actually want to vote them all out. If it had been my garage, there are several vehicles I'd have happily kept in there, esp Renault 5 or Mondeo. But this is BB's garage, so I'm not voting here for the ones I'd like for myself

Fair enough but at least give it some original thought in future and not just because "person X said to" :)

Ah, but at this stage I'm voting tactically. So if person X looks like encouraging ppl to evict cars which ain't my preferred winner, then it makes sense to vote with them

I see no evidence that the majority of people who have called it boring drive Alfa's, and in fact there are several people who I know do not. (Actually, from later replies there are only two Alfa drivers who have branded it boring, and both have experience of driving a Mondeo)

Oh, I see. You wanted to use it as an excuse to be narrow-minded yourself. Fair enough then, fire away.

Relatively speaking, Mondeos are boring compared with Alfa's.
If it doesn't break down, the Alfa is definitely more fun to drive than a Mondeo.
If the 'perceived' reliability issue affects you, you then get to develop a special relationship with your Alfa dealer.
Drive a 2.0 Alfa and a 2.0 Mondeo, if you don't grin when you get out of the Alfa - get a train.
