My Car... and what should I do..?

[AlfaRomeo156]

This is my lovely baby as it is...



noooww.. I love her to bits and would never consider any external changes (I.E Ricing) buuut I have recieved an offer.... trade my lovely 156 in.. add a couple of more ks and get a 2ltr 2000 Spider????

What to doo!!!! (P.S I'd miss the back seats, (no you dirty buggers not for that) but for the fact that i can go places with more than one other person...) I just thought I'd get some Alfa entheusiasts' pointsOV.

EDIT: I also like the wheels a lot better on my car... the colour I don't mind, i like the Alfa Red, but I also like the Metallic Yellow on the spider....

The Spider is a beautiful car- very quick and great to drive- but it all ends there- other wise it is badly built and unreliable- we have about 4 in here at the moment- with varying degrees of problems. Stick with your 156 and get a Sportivo (Alfa Romeo endorsed) bodykit

I've heard about problems with them... luckily enough Jane (current owner) has had no problems what so ever with the Spider... it's like us at home, we've got a huge trailer that needs towing so we own a frontera, we've had 4 different types over the years, LWB, Glacier, Diamond and New Sport, and although Fronteras, are if you believe Jeremy Clarkson "plagued". we've had nothing more major than a a dodgy oil light!

It all depends on how you drive, and how you look after your car too!

Won't the new Spider be more reliable ?
Very nice your 156 !
