Whilst it is undeniably GORGEOUS & the cockpit is a very classy place to sit.... I do have to say as a driving experience it is very disappointing.... the throttle is far too spongy & soft, the handling is very skittish at speed & whilst it has a fair bit of poke (I had the 2.2 engine) it doesn't FEEL fast... this is the car equivalant of Kelly Brook.... fantastic to look at & wank over but there's nowt where it matters... The 'rocco feels & pulls MUCH more & feels a lot more sure-footed & planted... you feel confident chucking it around...

Oh & whilst the Brera does have 4 seats the back two are just for show...

6/10 from me...
 
I'm actually driving the 147 1.9 JTD version, and have to say, good to look at, but have to agree, the drive isn't all that great, agree with skittish comment at speed, but for a diesel, does have some poke. The steering is far too light, and the slightest deviation in the road, the car tends to go that way, so feels like you are fighting the steering. But it's a company car, so who am I to argue.
 
Loving being rimmed i gotta say.

I thought as much... but what about the car lol :D

btw even though I'm not the tallest lad in school that's who far I had to have the seat forward to allow a passenger in the back without cutting off their legs... even Lottie who is well used to getting into contortionist positions in backseats had trouble...
