and can you fit a bike in the back?

I know reliability ain't great, but it's a lovely looking car…(prepares for the onslaught)

Here's mine, I parked at the seaside for half an hour….

😀

and so it begins… I had a spider a couple of years back and it was truly aweful, but have heard some good things about them recently?! or am I wrong?

hey crikey the pic of that truck , isnt that the town in france,that was massacured by zee germans in ww2

If you want to buy an Alfa you already know it, and are just looking for pre/during/post-purchase justification.

Remember you could always buy some souless, dull, boring German car – it's what the neighbours would expect.

haha, thanks cranberry, got a mondeo at the moment, so an upgrade to a dull german saloon would be expected!

Almost identical boot length/shape to the 156 Sportwagon (same platform) – so that means front wheels off, but 2 or 3 bikes in there easily, and a nice flat load floor too. May need to put seat down too if you're a giant as the load aperture isn't the biggest. They may not look it from the outside, but they're a very practical hatch really.

Great cars though, modern Alfas. I put about 50k miles on my late 156SW in 2 years, was over 100k when I sold it with no real problems at all – just the odd niggly thing that could always wait till next service.

I've got a GT. And yes a bike will fit in the back. No, it hasn't gone wrong, unlike the BMW, and Mini I rejected before hand. Great car. Get the Q2 Cloverleaf in Rossa Red if you can!
