Looks good mate, always had a spicy spot for alfas.

Love it. Ive been having a lot of naughty thoughts about taking out a loan for a 3.2 v6 159!

I love these but I hate that front number plate, pisses me off that it's not central!

I must admit I prefer the way the159 looks but it's mainly the wife's car and she wanted something a bit smaller than the Mondeo!!

Such a nice car to drive

yeah Alfas are really really well built. Feel very solid.
You've just got me looking at them on AT. Didnt realise the 2.4 was 200bhp. might consider one of them although you dont get the v6 sound track

Yes the 156 has 175bho and the 159 200bhp and they do respond to tuning very well!!

No you do t get the v6 noise but I have my 406 v6 coupe to get that from!!

Best of both worlds for me
