I love the look of them. Has to be one of the best looking saloons out there. Also, pretty rare which is nice.
I've had a few older Alfa's, (147, 156, GTV, Spider), for what they may lack in perceived build quality they make up for in style. Compare the interior in a 159 to a Passat or something. So much nicer.
Go for it, I bet you won't be disappointed.
