It won the best performance saloon 3 years in a row.

Au contraire, one thing Alfas do best is cornering. Always have done.

My Alfa specialist suggested my 156 is the last Alfa to drive like you would expect an Alfa to drive.... G The Giulietta and Giulia drive more like a German car. No idea what he meant as he walked off into the service bay. All I do know, my car still drives beautifully.... Night time shot.

Just looked. Unilet in New Malden seem to stock AE speakers. It's not too far away, next time I'm in the area I'll have a look
