    What do you guys think of this car? I'm hoping to upgrade my car in next few months.

    Im looking at a number of second hands- 2005/2006 model. Either 1.9 diesel or the 1.8 petrol, preferably the sportivo model.

    Any feedback about this car would be great.

    Cheers for all the feedback guys....Its a pretty sweet looking car isn't it?

    Have never actually drove one though. But have drove the 2.0 petrol 156 (theres some welly in that when you put the foot down!!!) and my dads 159 (2006, 1.9 Jtdm).

    A few of my mates are saying that Alfas are sh1te and why I don't buy a Beamer or an Audi...My personal view is that those cars are overvalued and everyone on the road seems to have one.

    Has anyone enquired about getting an autodelta bodykit for the GT? The super evo kit looks pretty sweet.

    No bodykits IMO. They look so good as they are. You'll just end up with a twat 3 series wannabe and the Alfa equivelant of M badges. Original is best

    See how things can go wrong :D:D

    Same as that, everyone was telling me to buy an A4 (BORING) or Passat (even worse), always wanted an Alfa and have to say I love it, no problems at all and have to admit I think it's beautiful :o

    Some links that might help

    Owners

    Workshop

    Either way I'll try to blag a spin at some stage :D

    Lex, that is an absolutely gorgeous car you have there. Love the Monza spec, the interior looks unreal.

    Pity your asking price is a bit outside my price range. How come your selling it?

    need something with 4 doors with kids and work.

    Thats my asking price, nobody has made me an offer yet. I'm still holding out on the trade in for the time being.
