Alfa Romeo Spider (2007 - 2010) 2.2 JTS 2d (2007/07) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Hopefully that we have some aesthetic awareness, but this does not really concern me.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

All think that it is a beautiful car and are impressed by its perceived build quality.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Probably keep it for its style and quality, along with its superb open top touring refinement.

What are you likely to buy next?

Maybe something a bit cheaper. At its price range we have owned SLK350, Impreza,and BMWs and I have driven TTs and Boxters and overall I prefer the Alfa.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchise

Did you buy this car new?

Yes

What price did you pay?

£27,700

When did you buy the car?

March 2007

Did you get a good deal and why?

Yes because although there was no discount we had an excellent p/x allowance and we have dealt with Piccadilly Alfa before.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Looks, heritage, dealership,

What was the dealer like?

Outstanding- even lent us a car on launch day. Also enthusiastic and knowledgeable.

What's it like to drive?

Quite swift now it is run in but not a performance car, although it sounds sophisticated. Nice planted feel on good roads, cornering and handling excellent. Not very rigid on rough roads.

What's it like to park?

Horrible, can't see anything but so what?

Have you had any problems with the car?

One electrical fault[ coil pack] otherwise fine.

What's most practical about your car?

Not that practical, but it is the best protected open fast cruiser we have come across- almost no wind buffeting.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

hill-holder,18in multispokes[until I try to clean them].
