2000 Alfa Romeo Spider Lusso 2.0 TS 16v petrol from UK and Ireland
Summary:
Beautiful, but a bugger if you get a bad one
Faults:
Roof, roof and then another roof.
General Comments:
I've had two new Spiders this year.
They are lovely cars but frankly under powered.
Alfa Romeo dealer network is questionable, especially when it comes to roofs. I had three of them on this car and AR couldn't fix them.
Also, on both of my two Spiders, the paintwork was absolute crap.
Second car was sold after 7 weeks. 5 of them in the garage. Not surprisingly, nothing else went wrong with the car, but should it have after such a short time.
Fancied a change, so I bought a Lotus instead.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know

Agreed, the 2.0 TS is indeed underpowered, however, the new 3.0 V6 unit cannot be called that!
