Is this as stupid an idea as it seems? I'm currently on the look out for something a bit more comfortable and that I can fill up with people to share fuel costs on football awaydays. Having decided that an LPG XJ6 would probably be a bit OTT and a C-Class Merc (circa '96) would probably still cost a bit to run, I've spotted a decent looking 156 Y-reg (2001) within my budget. Obviously Italian cars have a reputation of being unreliable but is this still the case with more modern stuff?
