Anybody got one? My gf is looking for a new car and she likes them. I've read mixed reviews that some people loved them some said they were troublesome but mostly a majority of reviews said the dealers were brutal to deal with.

Don't have one myself but do a search for "Alfa Romeo" on this forum and you will find lots of stuff on them. Most owners seem happy with them.

Be warned though these threads usually turn into "Alfas are great v Alfas are crap" endless debates.

Check this thread for a list of previous Alfa threads.

I don't think there has been much about the diesel engines though, apparently the Alfa / Fiat diesel engine is supposed to be one of the best on the market, and they have sold it to other manufacturers.
