Anyone driven one? Really like the look of them and they seem to get better reviews on reliability and build quality.
Looking to get rid of the 330d for something more economical!

I have the 1.6 JTDM Veloce model & it's been good. MPG wasn't what I'd hoped for bit 50 isn't terrible
Just check out warranty garages nearby incase anything goes wrong. Mine is 35 miles away!

I hear the only real downside people seem to have is the steering lacks any decent feel, but very good other than that.

My neighbor has one in white 62 plate, he has the 170 diesel with upgraded alloys and brembo brakes, lovely car. Performs really well and £30 year road tax, the red leather looks perfect with the white to. He did say they there not that reliable so make sure they have warranty as I was tempted when I went out in his.

Ah good to hear from some people that own them.
Might go test drive one this week. Neerest sales and after sales place is only 15 miles away luckily!
The 170 diesel seems to be the one to get aswell. Can imagine would be pretty rapid with a remap. Although remapping an Alfa might not be the best idea

I think the top spec Guiletta is called a cloverleaf or something shit like that. Has all the goodies though.

The multiair 1.4 petrol turbo is supposed to be a good engine, maybe give one a test drive & see how economical it can be

The Multiair isn't anywhere near as economical as they suggest it is
