Summary
What does this car say about you?
It's a car for individuals who are not afraid to be different.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
A mixture of envy and bemusement.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Absolutely. It's the best car I've ever had. It's downsides are all forgotten when you go for a blast on a deserted road. It's also the most beautiful car made in recent times in my opinion. The world would be a poorer place if we didn't have cars like this.
What are you likely to buy next?
Alfa 159 - due to a growing family I need back doors now.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Excellent. Superb performance and grip with an engine note to die for. Not great in town though, with disastrous fuel economy. Ride comfort on rough surfaces also not great. Surprising competent in snow due to Q4 system.
What's it like to park?
Not great, although the reversing sensors improve things dramatically.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Apart from regular wear and tear items such as tyres and brake pads, I've so far had no problems at all. Don't believe what you hear - Alfas are no worse in this respect than any other car nowadays.
What's most practical about your car?
The boot is huge, albeit with awkward access. Then again, who buys a car like this for practicality?
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
The panoramic glass roof is excellent and makes the cabin feel very airy.
