Thanks for the comments
The boot is not too bad if you take out the spare wheel, I have found that I can get plenty of shopping or squashy bags for a trip away into it no problem, so I have no complaints and there are always the back seats as backup.
It does have a bit of Tipo in it(none the worse for that, the Tipo was a good handling car) but it is limited to some metal pressings and the basics of the front suspension, the rear suspension is a complex multi link system that reduces understeer when you get on the power out of a corner, it works well but feels a little unnatural to me.
The Alfa V6 really is as good as its reputation suggests, smooth, powerful, very free revving, very sharp throttle response and it sounds lovely, it is also very strong and reliable if looked after.
I would definitely recomend buying one at some time, the only problem is that after having had one most other engines seem a bit rubbish.
Overall it is a very good car but they are not cheap to run and it could cost a fortune to put a bad one right.
