Car Review - Summary
Alfa Romeo Spider Open
PRICE:
£25,500 - £30,995
|
|
 |
|
|
|
FOR
The Spider looks stunning and is solidly constructed. Its occupants are well protected from wind buffeting
|
|
|
|
AGAINST
It suffers from an overly firm ride, and the body flex affects its handling on poor surfaces. The roof is slow to fold away, too.
