Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Costs
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
Generally ok - not so good on potholed roads.
Performance
The car feels quite heavy so the little engine does remarkably well!

Living with it
Reliability
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
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
