Description
This is a stylish little car, full of Italian design, from the frameless windows to the circular rear lights inspired by the 8C. This top-of-the-range 1.4 turbocharged 155 bhp engine (230 Nm of torque at 3,000 rpm) accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 8 seconds through its 6 + 1R transmission, whilst getting about 43 mpg. It's fun to drive with the Dynamic mode engaged, giving a sportier tuning and faster response along with a decent-sounding Blaupunkt stereo. The seats wrapped in the elegant natural Frau leather provide comfort and support. It meets the ULEZ standard, so there is no charge for driving into London. The optional extra Xenon headlights provide bright lights for safe night driving, with 7 airbags and double pre-tensioners on the front seatbelts, all giving a 5-star EURO NCAP result when this model was released. The rear seats fold down to give a large luggage space for the odd large load, and the optional reversing sensors give assurance when parking.
I bought this car new, so it has just one owner. Full Alfa service history; the last big service was in 2024, where the belt and water pump were done. Before this a new rear exhaust box was done. The MOT is valid till March 2026. The car has been mostly garaged and looked after with Shell V-Power fuel and hand washing. I have both of the keys, and it has locking wheel nuts. It's had a couple of recalls done and a partial respray under warranty to fix the factory issue with the Alfa Red paint chipping, all done in the early years.
