You are not a real car guy until you own an Alfa. So says Jeremy Clarkson, et al of Grand Tour. Yes it is everything it is cracked up to be. Fun sporty convertible all ready for the soon to be here summer. I love (yes love love love) this color combination of white over red with red top. It looks amazing in person as it does in the pictures. This is one of the last Alfas brought into the US before the return of Alfa lastyear. This is a very good example with 68K original miles and clean accident free Carfax. It is loaded with plenty of creature comforts such as air (yet but why is that needed? Its a convertible remember!), heat, power windows and door locks. All seem to work,though windows are a little slow. The interior is in good shape overall, but there are some dash cracks. Exterior is nice white paint, though looks to have been repainted. I would call it an excellent 5 footer, butthere are some minor imperfections. Interior is overall good. Gas opener sticks often, trunk opener needs to be pushed back in to close, speedo cable just broke, leaks a few drops of oil after running, rear window is starting to fray from the top. These all would be huge issues if it was a Honda or Toyota, but its called the character of an Alfa. Throw the top back, slip on the RayBans, and enjoy the monza style exhaust hum in the background. I have enjoyed it, but I am not the smallest ofindividuals, so wanting something with a little more room.
