Alfas are gay, Moongoose. They're lagging so far behind technologically it's not even funny. I drove a newish Alfa a while ago and it was still using the same spec gearbox as their late '90s models. You could watch an episode of Top Gear between the shift from first to second. |
Well i could hardly find anything more pleasing to do between shifts than watch an episode of top gear (and Clarkson, May and Hammond would approve, since they love Alfas ), but that problem only really exists if you go for the auto transmission, if youre a proper driver you go for the manual and that gear box is just as good as anything offered by zi germans Not to mention that according to zi germans, the 159 handles just as beautifully as an E90 3 series...and thats high praise, since the 3 series is basically always the best car in the class.
Speaking of the 159, that 156GTA i posted earlier and this 159 2.4 JTDm with 200HP cost about the same. 50HP less on the 159 and a diesel instead of petrol engine, but a newer model and the running costs are probably half of what they are on a GTA...hm tough decision...glad i dont have to make it yet.
