Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

  • Economy

    Value

    5 out of 5 5.0

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

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

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

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    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

    4 out of 5 4.0

    What you'd expect for a 3 litre Italian saloon, very easy to exceed 100mph.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Zero problems thus far. Never had a car before like that.

    Its either 1 or 5, depending on whether you know Alfas.

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    No problems with driving position, rear seat room for such a big car is poor [but I don't sit there].

  • Security and Service
