Just for the looks it is worth the money.

Haven't had to spend yet, but I am aware that parts are dear.

On the road
Driving
This is my wife's car and it is soooo much fun!
Performance
I've driven LOTS of cars over the past twenty years and if the Spider was mine and not the wife's I conservatively estimate losing my licence within six months.

Living with it
Reliability
No problems yet, but agree with an earlier poster that the lights on the dash deceive.
Image
This car looks the part. You can keep your MGF's and your MR2's (they're as common as Fiestas around here). Drop the top on a Spider and everyone looks. I can still remember being a 15 year old lad and wanting an Alfa Spider. Just buy one!
Comfort
Seats are very supportive over distance and TONS of leg room.

Security
Great standard alarm.
