Alfa Romeo Spider

2.2 JTS - 3.2 JTS V6 Q4 - Some current two-seater roadsters are so over-styled and fussy-looking that they almost seem dated already. In ten or twenty years we’ll look back and say, ‘Did I really drive that?’. Not so the Alfa Spider which, although essentially a soft-top Brera, will look gorgeous for decades to come. [...]

Alfa Romeo Spider 2.2 jts spyder limited edition 2008

4 star review

Not good driving on rough roads - shakes a bit... not great on performance... but it’s a beautiful looking car and not common to see like the Audi TT, BMW Z4 and Mercedes. Everyone admires the Alfa Spyder, from young to old, a passionate looking car with beauty and presence.

Alfa Romeo Spider 2.0 JTS Lusso 2004

4 star review

I think this is a car you have to own once in your lifetime. No it’s not perfect but it’s got a charm all of it’s own and it still makes for a thrilling drive. A head turner for sure. The newer model improves on this older version but I’ve had no problem reliabilty wise with mine, which I bought with only one previous owner a year ago. Great fun car.

Alfa Romeo Spider JTS

3 star review

Looks great but the suspension is slightly shaky. The 2.2 litre engine doesn’t purr but is functional.

Alfa Romeo Spider 3.0 V6 24V 2d

5 star review

Perfect for cruising with the roof down. The Spider looks great and is a joy to drive. My 3.0 V6 performs admirably and turns heads wherever I go!
