Areas for improvement: Difficult to start from hot.
Fantastic road holding.
Gear change a bit slow and vague, but nevertheless pretty acurate.
Rust isn't really a great problem with later models.
Brakes are almost atomic! It'll stop on a dime.
Performance is fantastic and the car is generally ecomomical if you don't drive it too hard.
Looks are fantastic, from every angle.
It's difficult to start from hot (after it's been sitting for about 20 minutess). But it seems to be particular to this car only. Alfa and numerous "Alfa Specialists" can't figure it out either.
Ergonomics are a disaster. eg. dimly lit courtesy light at night. Inadequate illumination for heating & demister controls. Wipers are too slow. No oil pressure warning light!
The running costs for Alfa Romeo Alfetta 2.0 are low
