Is the Alfa Romeo Brera a pretty face or a true driver's car?

Pretty face? Absolutely. Driver's car? Eh, not so much. The chassis isn't quite as sharp as it could be, and it's too heavy. Alfa missed the mark of making it a true sports car.

People are too harsh on the Brera, I think. Its not intended to be a track weapon. A stylish, comfortable coupe with enough poke to be fun. In that regard, it certainly does.

The Brera is the result of design at the expense of dynamics. It's stunning but no Alfa 'magic' in the driving department. It's more show than go.

At least, that's what I can say as an owner of several Alfas, the Brera is a different beast. It's not as raw as older Alfas, but there's something nice about it. In my book, it is a driver's car on the V6 sound alone.
Is the Alfa Romeo Brera a pretty face or a true driver's car?

I'd call it 70% pretty face, 30% driver's car. It's no Alfa's most engaging, but it's not boring either. Also, if you park it up the looks are hard to beat.
The biggest 'hidden gem' feature of the Alfa Romeo Brera is?

It is a game changer – the fixed glass roof. It's just like it opens up the interior so much more without the complexity of a sunroof. And you can stargaze too on night drives!

It's the way the door handles are integrated into the shoulder line of the car, for me. Most people don't even notice this sleek design touch at first.

The sound of the V6 model is definitely the hidden gem. It's not the most powerful engine out there, but the noise is as Italian as symphony.

I like the little Italian flag detail on the seats. Every time you get in it’s a subtle reminder of the car’s heritage.

I like how the rear glass opens like a hatch. It’s not super practical but it’s a unique feature that always gets comments from passengers.
The biggest 'hidden gem' feature of the Alfa Romeo Brera is?

For me, the hidden gem is the way the car looks in different light. It's like having multiple cars in one, the lines and curves change dramatically from day to night.

The steering wheel mounted start button is a neat touch, I’d say. It adds a bit of drama to starting the car, so perfectly Alfa character.
What is the Alfa Romeo MiTo like to drive?
30 January 2025 09:19
I've driven the MiTo and a MINI Cooper, and honestly the Alfa is more fun. With the DNA system in Dynamic mode it feels more alive somehow. The steering is also more communicative.
What is the Alfa Romeo MiTo like to drive?

The MiTo does have a bit of a rougher edge than my friend's Audi A1. But the Audi is more refined, the Alfa more raw. It all depends on what you’re after.
What is the Alfa Romeo MiTo like to drive?
30 January 2025 09:19
People expect too much from the MiTo, I think. This is not a sports car, it’s a sporty supermini. I think it drives great for what it is. Around town, it's zippy, and it can still be fun on a back road.
What is the Alfa Romeo MiTo like to drive?

My MiTo has a MultiAir engine, which is a gem. It’s responsive and has a nice little growl to it. A bit more exciting than your average small car makes everyday driving.
What is the Alfa Romeo MiTo like to drive?
30 January 2025 09:19
My MiTo’s driving experience is a bit disappointing. The DNA system is cool but even in Dynamic mode it doesn’t feel as sharp as I would have expected from an Alfa. In terms of go kart like handling, the MINI has the edge.
What is the Alfa Romeo MiTo like to drive?
30 January 2025 09:19
The MiTo is a good compromise for me. It’s more comfortable than a MINI for daily driving but still puts a smile on your face if you ask it to. It's a good all-rounder.
What is the Alfa Romeo MiTo like to drive?
30 January 2025 09:19
For me, the standout feature is the steering feel. It is way more direct and communicative than most cars at this class. It makes you feel closer to the road.
What is the Alfa Romeo MiTo like to drive?
30 January 2025 09:19
The MiTo, I think, drives well, but it doesn't quite take you all the way to the full Alfa Romeo experience. It's like Alfa-lite. Fun, but not as engaging as their bigger models.
