Like the 159, the cabin feels special, but unlike the saloon we came away disappointed with the patchy build quality. The handbrake surround was poorly finished with dimples of air. Attention to detail around the centre console was also worrying, and we're hoping it's a one-off.
Out on the open road there's little to dampen enthusiasm. Steering feedback is great and balance fine through the turns. The diesel is always noisy and not as strong as the figures suggest, it's more relaxing than sporty.
Costs-wise, the Alfa gets away lightly. BMW launches a new coupe in September and numbers aren't out.
Also missing for now is a performance diesel Audi TT, though one's in the pipeline.
Brera drivers probably won't care. They'll be busy enjoying a stunning coupe.
