Tiny and fiddly is the climate control buttons. They're like they were made for people who have toothpicks for fingers.

The engine note at high revs. It's not quite a typical 1.6, there's a bit of that Alfa magic in the exhaust.

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!

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.

I'd improve the infotainment system. By modern standards, it’s dated and clunky.

Nothing major, but I would add a manual transmission option. That V8 needs a proper stick shift.

Better cup holders! It's annoying on long drives, but sounds trivial.

I would make the suspension a bit more compliant. It is rough on rough roads.

Improve the fuel efficiency. Sure, it's a supercar but the range is pretty pathetic.

Add some modern driver aids. It would be more daily drivable with things like adaptive cruise control.

Redo the roof mechanism as fully automatic. The current semi-manual operation feels outdated.

I wouldn't change a thing. Flaws and all, it’s perfect as it is. That's what gives it character.

Update the electronics. They’re the weak point and the source of most of the reliability issues.
