Don't but new, a used example is top value.
Costs
No more expensive than VW, Fiat and Renualt.

On the road
Driving
A pure drivers machine. Goes round corners on rails, just goes on gripping.
Performance
Massive hole in the pickup at sub-3000rpm then it's all gravy baby! With the soundtrack to match.

Living with it
Reliability
Few niggles hunting revs but generally better than my Golf MK4 loss of gears, rust... Don't believe the bad hype.
Image
I just look at this car it's a real beauty, never ceases to draw adoring looks.
Comfort
Really comfortable, quiet and very German in quality, if possible make sure you get the leather it really makes the difference.

Security and Service
Security
Standard alarm stops the muppets, but the serious thief probably has no problem.
Service
Not the best. Alfa dealers need to take note of the bad press.
