Would recomend this car to the friend
Pros: (147kw 2.4D) Very dynamic, turbocharger have a pit at low revs, but as the turbine spins, the Alpha flies.
Excellent, predictable handling at all speeds - at 200 + km/h it is more stable than Škoda and Toyota at 130 km/h
330mm Brembo brake front, stops perfectly
Tight suspension
Overall a reliable car, because a large part of the defects are due to failure, normal wear and tear or my stupidity
Even when parking at a new car dealer, the most beautiful ride in the village
Great quality interior, good audio system
Undeniable Italian charm
Cons: Small cabin - four tall people find it difficult to fit in.
Small boot with non-folding rear seats.
The paint is not of the highest quality, it scratches easily.
Consumption, even without taking my heavy foot, quite awful.
Low ground clearance, if you feel mechanical sympathy, it is sometimes difficult to drive on Latvian roads.
Tight suspension
