Lovely car. Five years, five clear MOTs, no advisories. One replacement alternator (under warranty). The most reliable car I've owned, including Porsche 928, 2 Jaguars, Lexus and 2 Mercs (and a Hillman!).
(Not counting my 2 Volvos which have been trouble-free thus far.) Sorry, off topic.

If the T5 matches this record, I’d be very satisfied. |

It was a bit of an impulse purchase as seeing the car, the colour is fantastic. However not being wedded to any particular brand, it was the iconic T5 engine that needed ticking off the bucket list. I remember the TWR Volvo touring cars of early 90’s. |

As for Alfas, back in 2005 I bought a 1999 3.0 V6 GTV which I had for 5 and a half years and I loved it, 100% reliable too. With the Ragazzon rear section exhaust it sounded immense too

One had a 9k repair bill on a 2017 low milage model within 10 days of being chipped (2nd flash, 1st one bricked the car). Keep it standard yes. Good idea. |
