Would you buy an alfa derv 159? If you were planning to rack some miles on it? Looking at a low mile 3 year old car 40k or lower or is it the world of pain that you read about n the Internet.
I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.

I love these cars but couldn't live with the repairs on the mileage I do.

A few people I work with have them. Well, they have them when they aren't back in the Alfa dealer for repairs...enough said

Yes, they are very pretty, as most Alfas are, but not quite up to snuff on the old actually moving reliably. Shame..

my mate must be the lucky one then, he's ran one of the new mito's for nearly 3 years now and its only been back to the dealers for servicing, another mate had a 147 and also had no issues.
one day boost will be mine!

Can't comment on the newer ones, but my 53 plate A4 has been bullet proof. Nearly 150k in and all it's had is a rear drop link and the wiper mechanism seized up (at 80mph in the pissing rain on the motorway). On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:

To be honest I think a lot of the manufactures newer cars are not as good as the older stuff...

Mines on boost from about 1700 rev's and makes a bucket load of torque almost imediatly, I was surpised the first time I drove it. Nothing like any diesel I'd driven before and much faster than the similar powered petrol it replaced... On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:
