What's the weirdest ownership story you have with your Brera?
If you own an Alfa Romeo, you will also experience things that are different from owning a mainstream car. So the Brera has its own unique quirks and stories that owners are likely to remember. These could be funny mechanical oddities, or public reactions not expected. Maybe these are peculiar things involving maintenance rituals, strange electrical gremlins, or lovely surprises that only surface over time. Owners might tell you stories about the car's reaction to certain situations, stories about interacting with other car enthusiasts or stories about when the Brera's character came out. What are the standout, or even slightly odd, or unexpectedly charming moments that make up the Brera ownership experience?
Opening the rear glass hatch instead of the whole trunk felt like I was in a spy movie, the first time I did it. But so needless, yet so cool!
One guy followed me for 10 minutes to ask me about the car. I ended up having a 30 minute Alfa chat in a random parking lot. The Brera owners are a really friendly bunch!
It’s nice that the key fob is shaped like the Alfa shield, but I always worry it’ll stab me in the pocket!
I also love that the start button is on the steering column. Starting up a jet engine every time it feels like. Small thing, but I never get tired of it.
The first time I heard the V6's cold start, I thought it was for some reason. It just has a special growl to it when it's warming up, turns out. I now look forward to it every morning.
I once had the car parked and all four windows rolled down on their own. It scared the life out of me, but it's just one of those Alfa 'features' I guess!
How people react to the doors opening. They’re not scissor doors or anything, but the way they’re shaped always seems to surprise passengers.
I’ve lost track of how many times other drivers have given me a thumbs up or a nod at traffic lights. It's a secret club, I guess.
I couldn't find the cap when I filled up the windshield washer fluid the first time. It's actually hidden under the hood emblem it turns out. I took way too long to figure that out.
