Performance, it pulls through all the gears hard, and the brakes, wow, stop me
on a pin head (aftermarket fitted)
EGR and DPF can be problematic but is easly rectified with a remap.
i have to say, except for the brera and spider, this has to be the best looking
car on the road today!
fuel costs are average, with 45mpg average, repair are very costly if you go to
dealer but most can be done by a competent person with the aid of
FiatECUScan programme and neccesary ELM267 cable.
very fun to drive, full of character, always brings a smile to my face when i sit in
it.Nov 14, 2011

performance: excellent considering the car is big and a tad heavy 155bhp could do with 30 more maybe.brakes handling all superb. Build Quality: very good considering reputation AR have had in past, nothing has fallen off inside all electrics work well . Appearance: ! what is there to say except WOW!! stunning looks, gorgeous lines makes you want to keep looking back as you walk away. Cost of ownership: 40mpg easily achievable, servicing around £250 every 15Kmls, recommend an Alfa warranty if buying used.Fun factor: big grin motoring! Jan 26, 2011

passionate about this car, maybe not enough hp in comparison with how heavy it is. But a real head-turner, looks unlike any other car in its class. Great to drive, really sticks to the road, great torque, and great noise (for a diesel). I have to recommend it to everyone, and I am an Alfaholic.Nov 13, 2010

My second Alfa Romeo after my 147, which I had to sell because I needed more space. Excellent looks, fine interior, nice equipment. The engine is alright, fuel-efficient, but if I could afford it, I wouldn't mind a bit more power. The handling is quite impressive.
It has never had to go to the garage apart from the regular oil changes and normal stuff. As most Alfas, it is a driver's car, so it lacks a bit of space for passengers at the back, which does not bother me too much because my kid is still young.
If I had to buy it again, I would without any hesitation.Nov 07, 2010

Its brilliant. Its very comfortable and is asthetically pleasing.
However you have to be careful when driving in torrential
rainfall because a) it gets muddy b) the engine muffles
slightly after. On the whole, one of the best cars I have ever
driven.Mar 14, 2010

The best car ever. Handling is perfect, love to drive corners. Build quality is very good, far way better than 156. 150hp diesel engine is really good, but could have few hps more.Appearance is really awesome, people on the streets are taking a look all the time.Oct 19, 2009

I bought this car in 2005 with a hair over 100,000 miles on the clock. The photo shows the car as it was when I first bought. It was a nice looking car in good condition, and the Volvo reliability reputation was a clincher for the sale. Well, things went downhill and fast.....Sep 06, 2008

You can't be a true petrolhead until you owned an Alfa. Petrol or diesel makes it brilliant. Interior is much better than the 156. Not too costly to own either. A fun car but definitely a car for family guys.
But there are several pitfalls with it. The Selesspeed automatic is as good as running with crutches. The V6 is a natural to veer right or left depending on your steering and the suspension will be a blur on very rough roads.Aug 25, 2008
