Economy
Value
Incredible car for the money.
Costs
Use Alfa specialists, not main dealers. Parts are as cheap anything else.

On the road
Driving
Big smiles all the way, cornering ability is awesome.
Performance
140bhp form a 1.8 is good but you could always do with more.
-
Living with it
Reliability
Zero breakdowns in 40,000 miles so far.
Image
Nobody knows what it is, so it has that "cool, what's that" factor.
Comfort
Motorway cruising is effortless, suspension is a good balance between comfort and handling.
-
Security and Service
Security
Factory alarm/immobiliser uses ID chips in the keys. Very high level of security.
Service
Dealers are not the best part of Alfa ownership and are often inexperienced. The numerous Alfa specialists are far better.
