1998 Alfa Romeo Spider review from UK and Ireland
"A real head-turner"
General comments?
Amazing car, I personally think is in a league of its own if bought second hand.
The price is right and the performance, for a 2 litre 16v is exceptional.
Only a few cars can boast the spider badge, although a baby compared to its bigger brother, it's another exceptional car designed by Pininfarina.
I am very happy with the style, performance and cost of ownership.
The one thing that lets the cheeky Italian sports car down is the servicing cost. Shame on you Alfa Romeo.
