[Firaxis]

I'm a bit like a moth to a flame when it comes to Alfa, had two 156's which I loved. A 159 which was ok and ate it's own engine (but looked gorgeous), a Giulietta QV (240HP) which was ok I suppose.

You could get some very good deals on Alfa's of recent years. The prices of the new Giulia's (QV aside) are crazy. For the 200HP 2.0 Turbo it's either £30.5K or £299.00 a month and 9K deposit (that's about the best I've seen so far).

You can get a 330i for the same money or £300.00 a month / 4K deposit, you can get a 340i for 3K more.

On top of that, they don't have the same standings / reputation as BMW. They have massive holes in their engine ranges, it's either a 200hp petrol or 150HP / 180HP diesel then the next up is 500+hp (not sure where the 280 is in EMEA)..

They may drive just as well, some might think they look better and I do have a soft spot for Alfa but I couldn't personally justify the cost for what is essentially a lesser powered car.
