    In this case - prepare yourself for incompetent dealer service, neverending electrical problems and bucketloads of rust.

    HAHA, No, above the radio controls and below the screen, around the on/off/volume button there are a row of Red LED's that flash outwards and inwards when the radio is turned on and and the screen says "HELLO" and as you turn up the volume, more and more of the lights illuminate.

    Back to the subject, I'm starting to edge towards the Ypsilon Momo Sport, it looks really rather good, I've not yet experienced Xenon headlamps, are they that neccessary?

    Well the Puma we had before the Mini had really awful lights, it was more like having candles rather than lights. When we took over the Mini the change was huge, really noticeable. I do drive at night usually once a week at least and I value a good lightning system. Also it's not only a case of seeing, but be seen too.

    Yes, I agree. Kitty has crap lights- you can barely see where you're going on normal beams, and high beams are just OK. I'd kill for Xenons or HIDs.

    The accord has xenons...

    People flash their highbeams because they're so bright.

    Here a noticeable amount of cars have xenons, sometimes including cars such as the Renault Clio. And no one has a problem.

    The lancia is a girl's car. Nothing wrong with that but just nog for me.
    I like the volvo but only with a bigger engine. I dont like alfa's in general, but without a better choice I would go for the 147 in this case.

    Yeah, I noticed you drive with full beam, when you actually have your lights on..

    You're right. However the Sport improves the car's image.

    You're a girl anyway, so it doesn't matter...

    Ick. If a car I was thinking of buying had them, it'd be a dealbreaker for me. I wouldn't ever want to subject other drivers to that.

    I've seen some pretty strong halogens like my car has. Nothing wrong with a good halogen system, IMHO.

    From a Mini, I'd say either the 147 or C30.

    you know i hate the current lancia. just hope someone would arson it and burn the whole factory down, together with their ugly cars.

    I'd say the Alfa.

    I'd kill myself if I had to drive that horrid Lancia.
