Donnas car she had for a while, 156 selespeed i think. 2.0 16v, gearbox was sh1te (triptronic) but it pulled and pulled which was suprising for the carsize.
2.0 16v have 150bhp i think. Alfas keep goign wrong, but the engines are damn damn quick.

My dad had a red one from new, the passenger side seat runner broke and the seat would fly forwards under braking and shoot back when accelerating and the electric windows would randomly give up and then start working again
Other than that it was a top car and despite the problems he would have another. It was pretty quick for a standard hatch! OK compared to the Civic Type R and the new breed and quick hatches it might not be as fast but at the time that was easily the quickest going in its class
They're definitely worth looking at! The seats are a brilliant shape and even the standard exhaust sounds ace

ps. these things got fixed under warranty
those ones in the pics all have the 'Veloce' kit on, although I think the standard bumpers look better
I would say checking the history on one of these cars takes a high importance!

Yeah the only down side is the reliability...but saying that as long as they have FSH and I would get a 2 year warranty with it should be fine...
150BHP 0-60 8 seconds...nae bad...
