This is bonkers...this is a car I should hate....I've had her two weeks and so far suffered 16mpg consumption..had to change thermostat/senders and now the Lambda....but the damn things infectious.
I've driven her on two longish journeys (300 mile plus round trips) first when I bought her...and discovered the rampant dipsomania...and today after changing the thermostat..still suffering heavy fuel consumption...
But despite the problems, this car is just so right...I've had 13 Alfa's - from Suds through to spiders/gtv's/155's (my favourite) 156's and on and on.......
The coupe is like a big GTV but with all the good bits and some more...it's better built, handles better, smoother ride, sportier feeling engine (16v na v 2ltr ts)and better ground clearance!
The weather was foul for the return journey Fakenham to Gatwick - rain, snow, fog, spray and the M25 roadworks...but the drive was sublime...smooth, fast, controlled, safe and fun..this is a real GT car...an emotional mile muncher.....similar in pace to my 944...but with more emotion...I just love it......all I have to do is improve the fuel guzzling and she'll be near perfect
