Economy
Value
Best Second hand car I have ever bought. £5,000 got me a 2.0ts Lusso, 1 owner, FASH, 6speed and full leather. Stunning car. Don't buy unless full Alfa service history.
Costs
Even the 2.0ts is thirsty! £60 petrol gets you 350-400 miles; not very good. 72K Service + MOT cost £842!

On the road
Driving
Tight precise steering, lots of fun for a Battleship size motor.
Performance
Fast enough for most people I think, engine sounds glorious after 3500 revs!

Living with it
Reliability
Its an Alfa so reputation tarnishes it somewhat, but get one with FASH and you can't go wrong.
Image
Looks stunning, turns heads, doesn't look out of place in a car park full of BMW's & Benz's.
Comfort
As comfortable as an E class. Leather seats are very good.

Security and Service
Security
If a professional wants to steal your car he will. Alarm & Immobiliser is good enough for me.
Service
So far very good. Should be for price.
