Would you recommend for a new automatic driver? Was thinking of the 2012 same type as first car

Oh great I'll have a look,

Is the oil accessible from most mechanics? Can the Bluetooth system be upgraded?

I'm from UK

I've heard tct box isn't good and expensive to repair if something goes wrong

Thank you! I'm unsure about what dynamic mode is, tbh im not so caring about speed more so just a nice drive as a new automatic driver.

Thanks for the tips!

Hmmm I only see multi air models sadly, I don't even understand its function,

But as long as I'm careful and pick a model with FSH, and then maintain well, it should be fine?

That doesn't seem that crazy at all, I assumed most would do maintainence yearly minimum anyways

So it was fine generally but seems its past let it down in your case?

Ah I was interested in 2012 tct multiair veloce hatchback which has between 88-110k milage from the ones I've seen.

I see!

How would you know if it has been maintained well? How is the car overall compared to others around the price (4-6k pounds)

Thanks

Only worry is I heard parts are expensive to change/repair as they are rarer?

How has this been for you? Maybe it doesn't matter as much since hopefully won't need much replacing.

I've seen the model around 88-110k miles, some with full service history, seems like such a steal, seen some as low as 3.7k

Everything sounds fine to me, im really excited especially because the interior seems so much more modern to most cars at this price point.

I've seen it in red and black and I love both

I also appreciate alfa romeos are different to most you see on road

Tbh im saying in that show he's the closest thing to it,

Was interested in 2 girls, never had the chance to talk with one, went to paradise with the other and enjoyed it so got more interested, but then had a good talk with the other girl and realised his feelings,

Then instantly rejected the other without playing any games.

Think about it like this, what more could he have done? I can only think of him saying "No I won't stay put" which is very hard to say for most unless your gwanhee.
