As a happy 156 2.5 V6 owner and having just driven the Spider 2.4 JTD I can tell you this: You can't beat the feeling, sound and even looks of the legendary Alfa V6 petrol engine, but that devilish little diesel Spider is an absolute gem! The torque of the TD engine is immense.. it doesn't feel like a diesel at all, bar the lack of high rev screaming. I'd have one please! On the other hand, the term petrolhead has been around for years; has anyone ever heard or used the term dieselhead?
You don't buy an Alfa because it's sensible. U buy it because u fall in love with it. I agree that the 2.4 5 cyl diesel is a very good engine, but the 3.2 V6 suits this car better.
Btw, does anyone else think that the sound is more V6 petrol than 5 cylinder diesel?? They might have used a V6 car for the footage...
shut up you prat, if you knew anything about cars ud realise its a 5 cylinder deisel engine, its almost as quick, loads less at the forecourt and the pump. sensible buy!
why are you only going 20mph?

Obviously California, which is ironic as we can't buy Diesel cars here in the USA because of the California Air Resources Board. Go figure.
