Did you get a good deal and why?

I felt i got a very good deal. the car had 99k on the clock but had just had a new rad, alternator, timing belt with all the extra's, service, mot, new back seats and head lining, fx suspenshion, Lancia delta intergali wheels with all the paperwork and so so much history. And with an Alfa thats what it is all about.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Simply becouse it was an Alfa Romeo, love them, brought up on them, broken down in them. would not change it for the world.

What was the dealer like?

Erm ok, didnt know nothing about cars, just wanted to say he owned an Alfa.

What's it like to drive?

Due to the quick responce stearing rack it is really good in the corners. no turbo so no lag what so ever. if it was RWD it would be perfect.

What's it like to park?

Well my wheels are £1800 so i dont go no-where near curbs.

Have you had any problems with the car?

The only issue i have found is the MAS (mass airflow sensor) has played up. gave a dreaded red light on the dash. got the part number from Alfa and £30 later on ebay and done. 10 mins to fix to anyone who has never lifted a car bonnet before.

What's most practical about your car?

Rear leg space is brill, iam 6"3 and fit with no issue's. larger boot. nippy around town.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Erm the 2.0 under to bonnet. like the easy layout of the car.
