Value
Bought mine new from a broker, nearly half price. Unbeatable.

So far ok, but timing belt service price looks ominous.

On the road
Driving
Best very high speed stability of any car I have ever driven, decent handling and comfort, brakes strong, keep STR switched on except for on motorways, significantly improves throttle response.
Performance
What you'd expect for a 3 litre Italian saloon, very easy to exceed 100mph.

Living with it
Reliability
Zero problems thus far. Never had a car before like that.
Image
Its either 1 or 5, depending on whether you know Alfas.
Comfort
No problems with driving position, rear seat room for such a big car is poor [but I don't sit there].
