In Poland U can buy one for about 95000 zlotys, which is something like $23000, also this one is selespeed(something like tipotronic) so its a little more. These are not expensive cars (except GTA v6 2.5), but quality may be an issue for some

OK. Some examples(only 4 from 18 engine options):

1 Dollar = 4 Zlotys

156 SW 1.6 TS Impression-----------------------79000zl

156 SW 2.0 JTS Selespeed Progression-------99800zl

156 SW 2.5 V6 Q-System Distinctive-----------141700zl

156 SW GTA(250HP)-------------------------------171500zl

156 SW GTA Selespeed(250HP)-----------------181500zl

Last two are the top models.

Great cars? Alfas? Biggest POS on the road. They fall apart about 3 miles down the road from the dealership. I think Jeremy Clarkson said it best when reviewing the Alfa Romeo 147 GTA and Stig was driving it round the test track; Jeremy stated that the Stig was driving with traction control turned off and that you shouldn't try it at home, even though the button that controls it will fall off anyway. And that's the perception of Alfas: Crap build quality, crap dealer network, and devalue like a *****. They do make nice looking cars though .

Maybe older models, 156 and specially 166 2.5 engine is bulletproof, my friend has 156 2.5 with over 200000km on it, never had to repair anything.
crap dealer network
much better then MItsu .

That's a nice car. But I wouldn't be caught dead owning a hatchback. To each his own.
Lambo made a sport ute which is even worse.

is that alfa fwd? (I am assuming it is because of the transverse engine)

that Lambo SUV was badass! LM-002 & LM-004 were sweet - something like 140 mph in the sand.
