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

I’m a Brera owner and can confirm it’s a lot more than eye candy. The sound out of the V6 is fantastic and it pulls hard. It may not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but it’s a great all rounder for daily use and weekend fun.

I've driven the Brera and the 159 and the 159 just felt more nimble. It's a gorgeous Brera, but it's a bit of a porker. Cruising is great, carving corners, not so much.

It’s a driver’s car, just not in the same way as a 4C. It’s a little bit more of a GT, comfortable for long trips, but still fun when you want to push it. Pure Alfa is the steering feel.

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.

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.
Is the Hummer H2 a reliable daily driver?

I've had my H2 for 5 years now and driven it daily, it's been rock solid. But of course that’s also true for any vehicle: regular maintenance is key.
Is the Hummer H2 a reliable daily driver?

The size is a pain in tight parking lots, but it’s surprisingly comfortable for daily use. If you have to park and plan your routes, you definitely need to do this in advance.

I’ve been hit or miss on reliability. It's great when it's running well. However, when something breaks, it can be expensive to fix and time consuming.
Is the Hummer H2 a reliable daily driver?

The biggest drawback as a daily driver are the fuel costs. The vehicle is comfortable and capable enough, but you’re going to be stopping at gas stations a lot.

It’s not something I would recommend as a daily unless you have deep pockets. Most people can't afford it between fuel and potential repairs.
Is the Hummer H2 a reliable daily driver?

As a daily, it’s actually not bad if your commute is short. It's enjoyable for around town driving because of the commanding view of the road and the comfort.

My H2 has been pretty reliable, but I do a lot of preventative maintenance too. It may not be the right choice for you if you’re not handy with tools or don’t want to learn.
In hot climates, does the Tata Super ACE Mint’s air conditioning really make a difference to drivers?

The AC is a lifesaver! It makes summer shifts bearable, I deliver in Delhi. Definitely worth every rupee for driver comfort.

It's nice to have, but you do take a fuel efficiency hit. On the hottest days I only use it to save on diesel.

Overrated feature. Windows down, the cabin cools down quick enough. Want that extra payload capacity instead.

The AC is weak sauce. Peak summer is when it struggles to keep up. The cooling system needs to be upgraded big time for Tata.

Game-changer for me. After shifts, I’m less exhausted and more productive. For me it’s not just comfort, it’s safety.
