Congratulations! We test drove over a dozen sedans and the Alfa was clearly the most fun. The only reason we did not pull the trigger was the rear seat was a little tight for our regular use... but I still wonder if we can find a way to get one. Great choice.

Vesuvio is one of my favorites along with volcano, my big thing was I had to have the tan (not beige) interior, and there were few options at the time. The monte carlo changes color quite a bit with the light and I've grown to really love the color a lot. No regrets on this one. Oh, if you find the exhaust a little too quiet, check out the aftermarket ones available, I went with the Madness Lusso exhaust and it sounds really quite perfect.

I'm just over 10k on mine and have had zero issues thus far.

How lively is the engine? Can they make better power with a tune and exhaust?

Very cool, enjoy

Off topic, many car companies are trying to use a distinctive Grill to help differentiate their brand, Alfa got their Grill right decades ago
