What's it like to drive?
Good on corners - cruises very comfortably at 70mph and 2000rpm.

Can't see a thing - turning circle of a London bus!

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Yes - lots of things! the list is too long.... Windows & doors open on their own; wipers hit the bonnet; panels don't fit at all well; paint is abysmal - one light fails on dip - parking sensors have fallen out while car stationary on hot day - brake springs on back-to-front etc. etc. etc.
What's most practical about your car?
The accommodation (boot) and the wide doors.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Ipod changer only option; does not work as should - Alfa stopped fitting them - found this out later - no manual.....
