ATTAK Z Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 If I was in the market for a new car, I think I would take a serious look ... why ? ... looks, performance and economy ! and it's an Alfa Quote

350 Russ Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 Why buy a car like that for economy?? It all depends on whether it would be my only car, if it was my daily driver then no but for a weekend toy then definatly. Quote
ATTAK Z Posted October 15, 2013 Author Posted October 15, 2013 ........ if it was my daily driver then no .... Why no ? Quote
sipar69 Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 Quite like the look of em. Gonna be hard to come by though, Quote
Ekona Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 Lights are hideous. Engine isn't exotic enough. Questions over fragility and especially dealer experience. Other than that, it's stunning. I've no interest in buying one though. Quote
ATTAK Z Posted October 15, 2013 Author Posted October 15, 2013 Lights are hideous. I'll give you that but so what ? Engine isn't exotic enough. H'mmmm Questions over fragility and especially dealer experience. I'll give you that ... dealers are crap ! Other than that, it's stunning. I've no interest in buying one though. Quote
350 Russ Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 (edited) ........ if it was my daily driver then no .... Why no ? It's very Elise esq. I couldn't live with that on a daily basis, sometimes it's nice to just be in quiet comfortable car. Also it has to be serviced every 4.5k Edited October 15, 2013 by 350 Russ Quote
delz0r Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 It looks like a fun car but there's a lot of unknowns with it, maybe it'd be best to wait a while and see how reliable they are. Quote
Sarnie Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 Nobody ever bought an Alfa with their head! 1 Quote

Chocolate? Quote

Ekona Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 Lights are hideous. I'll give you that but so what ? I don't want to own something that ugly. Normally I'm quite happy to buy ugly cars (VXR, Zed ragtop) but only if they've got everything else where it matters. In this case, the drivetrain lets it down so much that I wouldn't contemplate it, no matter how good the rest of it may be. My loss perhaps, and I'd happily have a go in one, but that's about it.

jjt Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 In the latest EVO issue they review a white one and the lights have a carbon fibre surround; I disagree and really like the look of it And the car as a whole is absolutely stunning, probably enough of a looker to make potential customers write the cheque (or sign the financial arrangement) without them even thinking about the fact that the engine is borrowed from a Giuiietta. In fact... I really want one now Quote

In fact... I really want one now The engine has been completely re-worked including having an aluminium block instead of the cast iron one as found in the guilietta. It won't be long before there are aftermarket lights to replace the standard ones. Quote

Do you really think the vx220 is ugly? I don't think its the best looking car in the world but it hasn't dated and its a 7/10 easily. Quote
Ekona Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 It's a lego brick on wheels. Distinctive yes, but pretty? No chance. The Elise is pretty, the VX is like the ugly ginger stepchild Quote
NeilMH Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 I find it difficult to be objective. I love Alfas and my two previous were fun and reliable (lucky I guess). Yes I'd love one but it's unlikely to happen Quote
Crb Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 I once owned a Alfa 155.... Was a brilliant car.... The only problem I had was leaving the handbrake off it and watching it roll down a hill in to a neighbours house ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ ..... Needless to say that's when our love affair ended. (And when I learned to use the handbrake) Quote
AK350Z Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 I think this sums up my feelings nicely about the 4C: Quote
