  • Economy

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Not too bad - costs approx. £500-1,000 to keep her on the road. Biggest problems have been electrical (airbags - electrics under drivers seat and break whenever seat is moved) and suspension

  • On the road

    Driving

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Generally ok - not so good on potholed roads.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    The car feels quite heavy so the little engine does remarkably well!

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Fingers crossed, has been fairly reliable, but needs regular care and attention

    6 years on and still turns heads!

    Not great for long journeys.

  • Security and Service

    Service

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Dealers weren't good - tried to stitch me for £3.5k repairs 14 months after new. Found a great Alfa Specialist - AlfaTech - in North East - have taken it to them in last 4-5 years
