I've got the optional 10 spoke 18"/19" anthracite wheels
I found LV the cheapest, everyone else either quoted silly amounts or wanted it garaged / fitted with a tracker.
It's gonna be my daily for the next two years - no problems as yet however when the weather turns sh

I drove my last one in very light snow over slush, pretty scary & something I will never do again if I can help it, in allweather it coped with the conditions well but the noise as the slush sprayed up under the car was horrendous,I found LV the cheapest, everyone else either quoted silly amounts or wanted it garaged / fitted with a tracker.

Does it garner a lot of attention on the road?
I want mine NOW!!
Insurance was very surprising. In a good way.
I got a quote based on 6000 miles per annum, (4000 SDP miles & 2000 business) at age 44, full NCD, access to another car, kept on driveway, for £358.00 via Hastings with protected NCD and the car valued at £60'000. Excess of £400 (£250 compulsory and rest voluntary.)
To put that into context I ran a £600 Ford puma as a winter hack last winter and paid nearly 290 for that!
Bonkers really.

Mines insured through Hastings also for similar money.
Currently at the dealer with a small issue, alternator pulley idler bearing making a racket...1week wait for the part to come from Italy!
On the plus side, it looks and sounds amazing. Need the alfaworks Geo blocks to make it drive well though!

Mines noisy too. Is that how long everyone has to wait, that's poor Alfa Romeo spares back up I suppose.Currently at the dealer with a small issue, alternator pulley idler bearing making a racket...1week wait for the part to come from Italy!

On another note I just had my front spoiler painted in the Competizione Red FOC by the dealer and the colour is a very poor match. Dealer won't budge and redo it so hoping the lease company don't pick up on it at the end! Think this might be a problem for other people as it's made up of 7 layers and then wrapped so an expensive job especially including dedicated truck to collect and deliver 200 miles each way. The paint on mine looks like they put too little metallic in the mix.

That's how bad it sounds!
Sorry to hear about the paint job, which dealer?

Insurance sorted and collection on Wednesday.
Anything to look out for apart from the obvious during collection?
Seats height adjustable but has to be done by a mechanic as its a spanner job, I think they come on the lowest setting but I might be wrong, dealer "should" offer do do it for you Anything to look out for apart from the obvious during collection?
Are you buying or leasing ?

2 Year lease for me.
Evening chaps. After going German for a while and much to my shock if I'm honest, I have returned to my spiritual home.
Rosso, tan, full leather, racing exhaust and a stupidly cheap PCP deal for 2 yrs on 10k miles per year.
Drove a coupe at Mangoletsi and drove the Spider at Vospers in Exeter. The Spider actually felt a little more relaxed and chilled, the coupe felt like...like...
Look, forget the reviews. Somehow someone at Alfa remembered what an Integrale was. They have poured a Grale into a mid engined 2 seat coupe.
Frankly I can only assume Sergio got the Stratos boys out of retirement. It's not an Alfa - it's a Lancia. It's a direct heir to the Stratos and Monte.
The Deej is back 😎

If you don't mind me asking, what was the deal and where from? Looking to pull the trigger if the price is right (at that spec you mentioned is perfect!).Rosso, tan, full leather, racing exhaust and a stupidly cheap PCP deal for 2 yrs on 10k miles per year.

Some passionate words from Deej there but I have to agree, this car is fantastic! It does however take some time to learn how to get the best from it, it's no German point, grip, squeeze car. The gearbox takes a little getting used to in my opinion, coming from German cars myself all I will say is it's different to the ZF box! I prefer driving in N with manual shift most of the time.
What kind of seat level are people running in here?
Have been reading about tilting the seat higher at the front for more comfort?
If you could post your height and seat level adjustment that would be great and much appreciated.
Also any tips on entering and exiting the vehicle gracefully haha

For getting in & out, easiest is slide seat right back to get in or out & then move forward once your in. Steering column also adjusts
If in a tight space getting in hold the key on unlock & the window will wind down & as no frame makes it a lot easier to get in. Holding lock wont however wind it back up
