Buying experience
Type of dealer you bought from?
Franchise
Did you buy this car new?
Yes
What price did you pay?
£0
When did you buy the car?
May 2009
Did you get a good deal and why?
No - extras were too expensive especially the so-called windscreen heater
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
I researched for ages and bought it on the back of the write ups. I wish I'd noticed that none of them had the car across a winter before they wrote them
What was the dealer like?
OK
-
Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Noisy - like a tank until it heats up. I've had diesel before but never this clunky and uncomfortable. Hates uneven roads.
What's it like to park?
No problems.
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Yes. I hate it. It's fine in the summer and people do look at it but for the UK it's useless. The windscreen just does not clear whether its condensation or frost. It's been back to Alfa Romeo 3 times and they say there is nothing wrong. The heated seats are dreadful too. The driver's side barely heats at all though the passenger side does eventually heat up.
What's most practical about your car?
Large boot
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Nothing - the problems have really soured me to this car. I've done only 2,400 in nearly 18 months
