So long, Alfa 4C - a beautiful rolling savings account.
Owned- 22 months
Miles - ~2500
Cost to own/run - £0

In short, loved it despite all it's flaws of which there are many....it was just such a positively eventful drive everytime I took it out. It's as close as I'll get to owning something the feels properly special/exotic without spending 6 figures - although lots of people thought it cost close to that. Hugely positive attention from everyone.
Downsides were the width of it, huge doors and poor visability meaning I was pretty paranoid about parking it anywhere. Gearbox was "ok". Seats needed more bolsters. I was too tall for the car, clearly designed for 5ft Italians so I couldn't see the dash. Switchgear felt cheap, although optional leather dash lifted it. Servicing was quite expensive due to things like bolt tightening for the carbon tub. Steering was still iffy despite Alfaworks mods, both in terms of bumpsteer and overall feel.
I can't recommend one - unless you're a massive Alfa fan, or just are sold totally on the looks/mini-Exotic ethos......everyone else should just buy an Elise/Exige/A110.
On the true upside, taking into account all costs - Mods, Servicing, insurance, repairs, it cost me nothing to own. Actually calculated that I'm about ~£200 better off
