Alfa Romeo cars are chosen for road behaviour and styling, rarely by reason. It is a low-volume make whose used market is narrow but active.
Depreciation is fast, which brings well-engined cars within reach, provided you accept a smaller network and a service history that counts for more than elsewhere.
The MiTo and the Giulietta dominate the offer, in the city-car and compact segments respectively, both from earlier generations but well represented.
The Stelvio covers the SUV segment and the Giulia the saloon segment, both on a more recent architecture with rear-wheel or four-wheel drive.
The market is narrow: for a precise specification, the search takes longer than on a mainstream make.
Diesel remains in the majority across the used fleet, carried by high-mileage Giuliettas and Stelvios.
Petrol powers most MiTos and the more dynamic versions of the range. The manual gearbox dominates on the older generations, the automatic on the Giulia and Stelvio.
A complete service history is the main criterion on this make, more than the mileage.
With a limited network, check that a competent workshop is available near you before buying, and the cost of parts on the model you are looking at.
On versions with an automatic gearbox and four-wheel drive, servicing of those components should appear in the book.
A used Alfa Romeo car is for anyone who puts driving pleasure and styling first, accepts a narrow market, and selects on history rather than on price.
