The sunroof lining started to collapse a little, but some decent tape and glue sorted out the problem.
The propshaft coupling wore out (very common) and needed replacement.
The oil pressure sender gauge broke, but probably because some idiots at a garage fitted the wrong oil filter.
Brakes were quite squealy despite a number of changes to the pads.
In terms of pure-adrenalin driving, this car scores highly.
The engine is ultra-spectacular, a real gem that pulls really impressively from low down.
Handling really well-balanced, has far more ability than the initial bodyroll suggests. Like all Alfas, it really responds positively to being driven aggressively.
My only gripes are the gearchange, too cumbersome (if the engine had been mated to something that wasn't transverse-mounted, the car would do 0-100km in about 6.7 - still 7.3 ain't bad!).
Driving position not ideal. Pedal position uncomfortable, ankle aches on a long journey.
Can't agree more. Driving position is pretty lousy, but then again, I'm 6'3. V6 is stunning, sounds glorious at high revs. Pity the interior and bodywork is a little on the economic side. Still, I've had 5 years of astounding driving in it. Handling is amazing. Alfaman in London did the work, put the mild tuned engine in - recommended specialist. 10K later, time to go. Best offer, anyone? Details from ddavies1967@hotmail.com.
