A lot of kit for not a lot of dosh.

Bit thirsty, especially round town, but not too bad. 24k mile service cost £249.

On the road
Driving
Push it and it delivers. Great handling let down only by road noise from Supersport Alloys. Good driving position. Real feeback through the steering wheel. Encourages you to put your foot down!
Performance
Needs to be pushed to go quick, but that's part of the Alfa experience. Sounds fantastic when revving past 4000rpm. Once you adjust to it you learn how to get the best out of it and have fun!!

Living with it
Reliability
No problems yet, fingers crossed. Feels well built.
Image
For this price there is nothing sexier! Turns heads, looks stunning in Alfa Red with the big wheels. Why buy a run-of-the-mill Ford Focus???
Comfort
Climate control with climate pack takes care of everything! Bose sound is fantastic. Interior is best I've seen. Makes a Golf look very dull.

Security and Service
Security
Seems fine but I'm sure you could get in if you tried!
Service
Dealer broke a wiper and hasn't yet admitted it! Taken it up with Alfa Romeo who have been slow dealing with the issue.
