| RUNNING COSTS RATING: |
 |
You're unlikely to buy a Brera because you want an economy car, which is just as well because the 2.2 JTS (it stands for Jet Thrust Stoichiometric, a direct-injection system biased towards power rather than lean-burn, ie non-stoichiometric, economy) manages a mediocre 30.1mpg on the official combined test cycle. The V6 fares worse at a thirsty 24.6mpg, not helped by its hefty 1630kg weight, so your only hope of frugal Brera motoring is to drive the 2.4 JTD version whose official fuel figures are as yet unreleased. Servicing on current Alfas is required every year or every 12,000 miles, whichever comes first, and the Brera is likely to have similarly infrequent service visits. Depreciation is an unknown quantity, but such is the Brera's wow-factor that it stands a better chance than most other recent Alfas of holding its value.
