But you can buy an old 156 for about £1500, that gives you about £18,000 to spend on petrol and you'll be having much more fun.

Well maybe, I don't know what the Julie drives like.

Brilliant work sidestepping the Qashqai and going for an awesome looking car!

Absolutley love Alfas..something a bit different

Ive had my Mito 155 for just over 18months


its brilliant, goes like stink but pretty economical, and so far no problems to report touch wood.

Many happy miles motoring!

The current spider is the only pretty Alfa. The rest are pig ugly.

Give me a GTV6 or a 70's Spider anyday

I'm determined to never own an Alfa for as long as I may live, purely to prove you can be a true petrolhead and never own one.

Nice styling, but abysmal build quality

Hardly abysmal..!? Not up to Audi, BMW standards, but it's not overly shabby. Still better than French cars.

I always wanted one of these. I know they divide opinion, but I like it and that's all that counts!
