Twice I've driven Alfas, a Milano and a GTV6 and they simply furthered my belief that Italian things make you feel good.
... but who really wants a reliable Italian car?
As far as maintenance, having owned Alfas, Porsches, Fiats, Healeys and MGs...bring it on!I prefer the previous model, the 8C
I love Alfa..That's not the previous model, it was a limited run with a 8 cylinder engine (named 8C) now it has inspired the new and smaller (and much more affordable) 4C with a "normal" alfa 1750ccm turbo engine.
