I've had an Alfa romeo 156 sportwagon for almost 2 years (an 03 plate so wasn't new when I bought it), and it's not what I would call a money pit.
All I;ve had to spend on it so far other than the service is new tyres.
the electronic key fob knackered so the alrm went of all the time but it got fixed under warranty, so all I had to put up with was a crappy loan car for 10 days.
The petrol cap seazed, a replacement from ebay cost £0.99 (the postage was more expensive than the part, OH YES, also just ordered a new set of front wiper blades TOTAL £8.99 including postage.
My mate has a Mistubish EVO vi, he's just spent £450 on new tyres for all 4 wheels, mine cost £240 for all 4 (and that was pirelli p6's)
Mate at work just bought a Fiat Stilo 1.9d, swears by it.
It always pays to shop around.
