The stunning, ‘head turning’ styling of these Italian favorites are an attractive buy in their own right, but when you take a look at the current ‘Hot Deal’ offers available from Perrys on the Alfa Romeo 159 range they become almost irresistible.

The 1.9-litre diesel JDTM models record a respectable 0 to 62mph time of 9.6 seconds – but reassuringly in these economy-focused times will do a comforting 40mpg.

There are two alternate trim levels available among the Hot Deals, 1.9 JDTM Turismo and the 1.9 JDTM Lusso. The top spec Lusso trim boasts 17-inch alloys, Bluetooth, dual-zone climate control and rear parking sensors. The range also includes the 159 Sport Wagon estate version.

On the safety front, due to its strong structure and seven standard airbags, the Alfa 159 get a five star rating (the maximum score) in the EuroNCAP crash tests.

An ideal delivery van for Europe’s busy cities must be Fiat’s new Fiorino.

The loading area has a volume of 2.5 cubic metres (2.8 if the passenger seat is folded down), even though the external length is less than 3.9m. Internally its load area is over 1.5 metres (almost 2.5 m with the passenger seat folded down) and has a load capacity of up to 610 kg (including the driver). The new Fiorino is a something of a revolution in the small van segment.

The Vivaro Van supplied to Bluebell Wood Children’s Hospice, sponsored by Perrys Vauxhall, Rotherham, will greatly assist the Hospice’s fundraising efforts.

The charity, which provides a community palliative care service to children and their families in South Yorkshire and other nearby counties, is in the process of building a state of the art hospice.

Perrys Mazda, Blackburn, has been named as the UK’s top site for new car sales at the Motor Group’s Annual Sales Managers’ Conference, beating off strong competition from 39 other outlets based around the country.

The dealership’s General Manager Phillip Eastwood puts the success down to careful forecasting and market awareness coupled with excellent customer service.

Customers are becoming price conscience buying more economic vehicles like the Mazda 2 and Mazda 3, with more than 50% of the dealership’s new car sales being of smaller models.

With fuel economy, emissions and practicality scoring high with customers, Perrys has adapted its stock and special offers. In addition, borrowing rates have been reduced, sometimes as low as 0%.
