"Fantastic car, but getting expensive to run"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Eats tyres, probably its 230 BHP through the front wheels.

Electrics variable, as you would expect.

Battery sometimes flat, even after a new one.

Insurance, oil changes, tyres etc. mean you need to spend. Parts not cheap.

General comments?

Great to drive. Very fast and feels so effortless in every gear.

Sounds beautiful.

Adjustable suspension works well - not just a gimmick.

Interior with optional Recaros very comfortable.

What do you think are the best tires?I've got a Q4 with awd and it still eats front tires.

I'm thinking of getting some Toyo Proxes.

Great cars though and alfa digest is very helpful.
