Hi, the Alfa Romeo Spider has been one of my three absolute favourite cars for a long time. As it is probably time for a new convertible/roadster in the spring, I might love buying my dream! I have a Spider with year between 1996-1999, max. 100tkm, leather equipment and price up to max. 9.000,- €. I don’t care about color, but my favourites are: – grey – black – red I’m relatively open, but 150 hp should be min . offer, so it starts at the 2.0l TSpark. To a friend belongs the tuner model of the 156 of Prell with 3.5 l machine and fabulous 280 HP! The part is simply in the point of power and sound fabulous! *lechz* Unfortunately also the consumption of min. 16 Super! I would like to treat myself to a model between 2-3l displacement! Now we come to my actual question: Up to now everyone advised me not to buy an Alfa Romeo, the usual cliché of “ital. Beauty with many breakdowns” was the standard -Can you confirm that? Of course I don’t want to laugh at a car that is always defective! Can you sing a song about it with my former Opel Tigra! Which model with which motorization would you recommend to me as a tip? It should be reliable above all! Don’t hit, but can you say that at Alfa at all? What weaknesses does the Spider have? Or should I rather buy a GTV? Does this model have fewer weak points? As I said about d he optics, the sound and the motors we do not need to discuss, these points are undisputed with me at the brand Alfa Romeo!!! *Lob*
