Nothing has gone wrong at all - this car is simply superb! A great improovement over my old Alfa 156.
The engine is a bit noisy at higher speeds (130km/h +), but still acceptable. Fuel economy is good, with the car regularly doing 17km/l, when driving sensible. The cabin is great, the finish is really good and all buttons are nice to work. The only drawback compared to my old Alfa 156, is the gear change. This is less than good, seems "notchy" and noisy. However, it seems sturdy enough, and I'm getting used to it now.
Can you give some details about comfort on long journeys and the smoothness of the ride over choppy roads? Thanks.
