Buying experience

3 out of 5

Type of dealer you bought from?
Franchised

Did you buy this car new?
Used

What price did you pay?
£13,500

When did you buy the car?
August 2011

Did you get a good deal and why?
The vehicle was bought from the Alfa Romeo Chris Variava in Nottingham. The asking price was decent as I purchased it for £13,950 for 12,000 miles on the clock. Others deals were asking for £15,000 plus with more mileage. However the dealership threw nothing in and did not budge on the price.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
Fantastic price at £13,500 with only 12,000 miles on the clock and bought from the Alfa dealership. Stunning looks and rare to see on the road.

What was the dealer like?
The dealership was initially good however at times they came across very patronising. Aftersales wasn’t the best either. I took my car instead to Guest Alfa in Willenhall who were fantastic in every aspect.

Driving it

4 out of 5

What's it like to drive?
Its a joy to drive and I still feel that excitment before I step into it to go to work. It can however be uncomfortable at times on uneven roads and needs a few second for the power to kick in.

What's it like to park?
Very easy with the aid of the parking sensors.

Living with it

Have you had any problems with the car?
There has only been one issue with the hood closing. This is a common fault which Alfa UK fixed free under warrantee. Apart from this there have been no issues and the vehicle has been a joy to ride.

What's most practical about your car?
The amount of space the driver has and the boot space for a convertible is practical.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
The wireless telephone calling which is accessible through the steering the wheel. Being able to play media through an inbuilt USB port. The hill start feature and the overall charismatic look and feel of the cabin.
