Advantages: Stylish, affordable, reliable and good value for money Disadvantages: Dealers & potential depreciation
...I never expected to say this about a car, but I really love my AlfaRomeo. It looks great, handles very well, has a fantastic engine and the equipment level is very good.

So after a long search I found the model I was looking for...a shiny Black 1.6 litre (Insurance being...
