Economy
Value
How much would a BMW 5 series or E-Class Merc be with this level of spec?
Costs
Dealers tend to be a bit on the pricey side - best to find a good Alfa specialist. Fuel wise, a bit on the thirsty side, but then you can't have it all ways.

Driving
Sporty, not too hard or soft, just right! Excellent 'turn-in' with loads of grip.
Performance
The Alfa V6 is simply glorious! It pulls & pulls & pulls, and that noise!

Living with it
Reliability
So far so good. Newer Alfas are much better than the older cars, that gave them this hard to shake off reputation for unreliability.
