    Value

    2 out of 5 2.0

    My car was bought before Alfa reduced its prices. The residual value was poor.

    High depreciation and servicing costs.

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Comfortable and handles pretty well, but rotten lock and too nose-heavy.

    Performance

    1 out of 5 1.0

    It's all about torque. Use the in-gear urge and the car flies.
