Imagine an Italian going topless. This is the reaction that most people get when they see the Alfa Romeo Spider. The company is known to produce great convertible cars and this model is really a stunner. Its convertible counterpart is the Brera which is already established but it took a while for this to emerge. The Spider has the same platform with the coupe however they did it away with hard top and favored a hood made of fabric. This is the same with the Audi TT. If you are a driver, it is super easy to open the roof. There is no need to release handles or crack something open. All you need to is press down the button of the gearstick. In less than 25 seconds, the roof will be receding to the rear. You don’t have to worry about the space when you have the hood up.

The loading area has the capacity of 200 liter. If you love road trips, this Alfa is going to be your partner on the road. Although there are a lot of options when it comes to engine, the flagship car is strong as it is equipped with strong 260 hp V6 engine. It has also a permanent all-wheel driving for comfort. The 2.2 engine will give the car a potent performance and a very relaxed cruise on the road. There are some negative items with the Alfa Romeo Spider. It is a bad idea to drive this car on the bumpy surface because the Alfa transmits it into the cabin. The vibrations can be felt on the chassis and the windscreen. Although this is the case, the car is good on the steering aspect. The car also rolls nicely with the soft suspension. Compared to the coupe, this weighs 60kg more. This Alfa Romeo Spider is something that focuses more on cruising. The manual transmission utilizes the flexibility of a V6. The all-wheel drive adds dimension to its handling. However, the spider is not competing on this aspect.
