Economy
Value
Where can you get a car with this kind of performance and pedigree at this price? A truely involving car to drive.
Costs
No more than an equivalent Audi or BMW. There are loads of specialists out there too. If you know where to go. Also plenty of free help available from the 155 owners' website: www.alfa155.com.

A true driver's car!
Performance
166bhp over 215ft/ilbs of torque in a 4 door saloon say no more!

Living with it
Reliability
Basically very reliable, just a few silly niggling faults (not serious).
Image
Alfa badge, Alfa heritage. My friends love it. More individualistic than a BMW or Merc.
Comfort
Suspension a bit hard, but then you can't have it all ways.

Security and Service
Security
Alfa alarm & Alfa Code 1 Transponder immobiliser. You'd have to be clever to nick it!
Service
Local Alfa dealer OK, but my local specialist has been key to painless ownership.
