Beautiful styling, sophisticated manners and tuneful engines.
Looks and feels dated now. Suffers from scuttle shake on bumpy roads, small boot, chassis struggles to deliver V6 grunt.
Bigger and less aggressive than some rival roadsters but still desirable.
Alfa's rust problems have long since been banished to the history books. Problems with electrics are not unheard of, though, and don't be surprised if the interior squeaks a bit. Owners report that the Spider is generally pretty trustworthy, but common faults include worn and badly-fitted rear suspension components, dodgy alloy wheels and problems with the hood mechanism and motor. Alfa also amended its recommended intervals for timing belt and tensioner replacement from 72,000 miles to just 36,000 miles, so if buying secondhand, make sure that this has been observed. Alfa tends to score badly in reliability and customer satisfaction surveys, though this is down more to poor service at its dealerships than the durability of the cars themselves.
