Driving
Great fun to drive - direct handling and smooth gear shift make up for a shakey ride.
Performance
Great. Power comes low and early.

Living with it
Reliability
Lots of early niggles but hey it's an Alfa. The alternative is a boring reliable German car with no style - you choose.
Image
At this price, or greater for that matter, it is unrivalled. A real head turner.
Comfort
Lusso option well worth the extra money. Good standard equipment.
