  • Economy

    Value

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Bought a low mileage ex-Alfa press car for the price of an entry-level Focus. Astounding value at 2 to 3 yrs old.

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Getting around 30 mpg currently on my 60 mile commute to work. Will be getting it serviced at the specialist Alfa dealer I bought it from - £160 plus VAT for annual/12000 mile service.

    Driving

    Surprisingly agile and sure-footed for a big saloon. This is a car that you can cruise in but also fling around when the mood takes you. Great fun.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Very lively for a 2 litre engine in a big car. You have to use the engine and gearbox (6 speed) to get the best our of it but the engine is probably one of the best 4 cylinder motors every made. Fabulous noise and snickety gearbox.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Has been fine so far. Some interior creaks/buzzing on very poor road surfaces though very quiet at A-road/motorway speeds.

    Very elegant and rare car. Lots of sideways glances...

    Comfort

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Large leather seats with multi adjustment suit me fine. Climate control great, just leave it in Auto mode all the time...
