One of the most beautiful cars out there. Engine,
breaks and steering performance is great, and the
sound is wonderful. Interior are very nice and the car
is loaded with features. A car that want's to be driven
(hard) I enjoy driving it every day and simply just love
it :-)

Pros: Almost everything

Cons: Radio and motor performance at low rpm

For an Italian car the quality and reliability is surprising. The looks are beauty beyond all probability and the performance is great - if you take into account that it is a diesel. All of that adds up to a superb premium sedan with plenty of options.

Pros: Beauty and passion

Cons: Front wheel drive

“Poorly Fantastic Alfa”

Nice exterior and performance, but poor build
quality.
The space is too small for such size car. You expect
it to be bigger on the inside.
The trunk is too small.
But driving it both commuting and for pleasure is
shear fun. And on top of it the fuel consumption is
acceptable, even when driving it fast.

Pros: the drive

Cons: The poor build quality

Got the 2.4 JTDm Diesel version and it rocks!! There is so much torque and once the turbo starts spinning, it actually hurts your neck while accelerating...It's a real sports family executive car, with more than enough power on tap for the highways...the looks actually scare the drivers in front so that they move into the other lane to let u pass :)

Pros: Great Power, Unique and Beautiful, A piece of art, modern functional interior and responsive sportiness!

Cons: Interior parts could be put together more solidly.

Just needs better off the mark times other than that its a weapon (Q4 that is). Its Braking is out of this world, the car is so solid that you can't even hear the wind blowing past. The car is so innocent to the road, with a blink of an eye your doing well over the limit. Most importantly the car looks amazing.

Pros: SPeed & Classy all in 1

Cons: It cost too much :)

What a car !

It's gorgeous, the engine's sound is amazing for a diesel engine
The build quality has nothing to compare with the old 156

Although it's a station wagon, the trung is quite small and the rear passengers hav not a lot of space for their legs. But i don't care!

Pros: style, performance, handling

Cons: trunk's size, weight

My car is the 3.2 Q4 with Q-tronic box in Ti spec. It is not a fast car compared to the germans with similar engines. The sound is not like the same germans either.... but...

This car has soul and style..and the best seats of all cars i have ever owned or driven.... so what if it falls apart. I will only keep it as long as the 3 year warranty is valid, then the next person can worry about the build quality..

Cost of ownership.. who cares.. if it worries anybody, they should buy a Skoda.. which I by the way also own and it's great for it's use.

Pros: Style before substance

Cons: Not a real sports car

The car is March 2008 (had from new), but that option was not there to choose!!

Great to drive, its a luxury sports saloon with all the toys, fixed price service costs etc.

No repairs or any problems so far!!!

Pros: Looks amazing from the front

Cons: Drinks a bit in town, but I do a lot of motorway driving so not much of a problem

This is a very good car. It's very nice in turns and has no more electrical problems as previous alfa.
It has very nice looks and the interour design is also wonderfull.
I drove this car for work and this is a reasonably priced car as Jeremy Clarckson would say.

Pros: looks, driving experience

Cons: engine could have more power

Driven both the saloon and sportwagen in 1.9 & 2.4 turbo diesel forms. The 2.4 is quite a performer but the 1.9 visits the fuel station less often.

The sportwagen is of course more practical for trips to the DIY store and travelling with a dog for example, although the rear load space is nowhere near the likes of a Volvo or Merc E-class

Pros: Looks, 2.4 JTDM

Cons: Sportwagen boot space could be bigger
