Silly prices for mundane consumables.

On the road
Driving
It was the best thing I had driven. Lots of grins.
Performance
Wakes up at 4,700rpm. Lots of gear changing required (not a bad thing).

Living with it
Reliability
Check the oil every week without fail.
Image
Still looks great.
Comfort
Good in the front. Not many mod cons.

Service
Camden Alfa/Fiat awful. I had to have an argument in the showroom to get a new pair of wipers (finally took them off a spider in the show room). Horrible people to deal with.
