I was really impressed with the 1.4, especially when in Dynamic mode; it's
plenty quick, and had I not had the chance to drive the QV I would have had
a 1.4 MA Veloce sat on the drive!

What sold the QV to me was the *noise*. It reminded me of my old 145 QV
engine. The next best thing to the Arese V6 IMO!

The looks of the car are a bit subjective, but like most things, it looks a
lot better in the flesh. I remember feeling the same about the 156 when that
first came out.

Lets hope the snow holds off on Monday so I can put it through its paces!
