Dynamically it isn't as sharp as the bmw, audi and mercedes i have previously owned. However, it more than makes up for this in character and style. It is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful cars on the road, and i feel very proud to drive it. The interior is very stylish and the all-glass roof is a fantastic feature. It has character.

This is a very good car, amazing looks, bucket loads of torque, the only reason i'm not replacing it with another alfa is the lack of a local dealership

Very stylish car and more practical (tows caravan, large boot) than i thought. Great performance, the harder you push it the better it is!

I bought the brera as an ex dealer demonstrator from the franchised main dealer and on the journey home it was the subject of many admiring looks. That still goes today 4 years later. A sports car it isn't but as a tourer for two people it is very,very good with oodles of mid range grunt for any overtaking manouvre. I'm currently considering either the brera or the spider. I also own a mito

Good build quality - but which adds weight (and reduces performance and economy). Surprisingly reliable for an alfa.

A bit of a mid-life crisis car, but a dream to drive with plenty of power to see off those silly little boys in their hot hatches. Very comfortable to sit in and just pootle around town, but also a long legged cruiser ideal for long motorway journeys (my commute to work is 35 miles each way on the m4). It still makes me smile as i walk out to it each morning. Just a shame about the fuel consumption, i can just about get 25mpg on the motorway driving like a saint. Otherwise it soon drops to about 20!
