Advantages: Very fast, fuel efficient, stunning looks and superb interior

Disadvantages: Can be a bit uncomfotable on very long journeys

I bought a new 147 special edition Ducati Corse after falling in love with it when I saw it in the showroom last October. I have since covered 10,000 miles in 5 months, and am happy to report that it is still as sound as the day I drove it away. The diesel engine is powerful and it is a lovely car. The only two minor niggles were a small rattle from the boot area, which was quickly rectifed by Alfa, and that it can be a bit uncomfortable on very long journeys. Otherwise, it absolutely perfect. I get 55mpg at best when driving on the motorway, good looks, good speed and good handling, which has made me a very happy customer. And people laugh at diesel Alfas! I dont see why they have such a bad name for reliability, as I have had no problems at all, despite covering nearly 500 miles a week. Would I buy another? Definately.

Summary: Problems? What problems?
