I always fancied an Alfa.  Are some models better than others?

Kate if you fancy an alfa you should try one, its hard to descibe what makes them special but something does.

The word is you aint driven until you have driven an Alfa

Be warned though they are high maintenance.

he we go then my alfa returns an all round average of about 30 mpg and I do not drive slow in comparison my 2.2 mig returns about 24mpg and 3.0mv6 I had returned about 20mpg.

My alfa is 2.0 twinspark sportwagon and performance wise is up there with the mv6 and would leave an omega for dead on a back road unfortunately they are best described as tempremental I think.

Before every one starts slating me for upping an alfa on here please bear in mind with my current 2 migs my total is 6 which has consisted of 2 mv6's, 1 elite,1 2.0cd estate, and my current 2 are a 53 reg 2.2cdx estate and  a 2.5cd estate so I am a big fan of omegas.

Somedays I happily drive to work cruising in the omega but most days I do my 70 mile round trip in the alfa not only cause it cheaper but its also more fun.

thats 9.4 lt/100 km..which is nearly the consumption of 2009 model 1.6 liter honda (numerous friends have them) in city traffic , seems your feet stays calm on the accelerator

to give some idea clit 1.6 sport 970 kg car averages 6.5-7 liters in summer and in winter 8- 8.5 liter/100 km  :-/ (city traffic)

and to add further there are also people driving alfas in my job and most of them say 11.5 -12 lt /100 km avg city con.

I do very little town driving as I live in the country and my  journy to work and back consists of 46 miles on the motorway and 22 miles on back roads I also only use 99ron petrol which may or may not make a difference to the consumption.

No offence intended here but if your friend can't get more than 30mpg out of a 1.6 honda he either needs to start using the gearbox or take it back to Honda. I used to own a Civic type R which done better than that on fuel.
