Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Very average. 19" wheels look great but ruin ride. Gearbox and steering both excellent. Road holding excellent but frankly bland and feels underpowered. No Alfa magic. Could be any Audi or other mass market car.
What's it like to park?
Easy. Reverse park. Mirrors fold.
