You should find the lights turn themselves on only a while after you go under the harbour tunnel...

Hope this helps
Yup, u re right. Quite slow response. It will turned off auto ONLY under very very bright sunshine.

I didnt have the kebabs sadly, i miss the chicken doner aswell

Totally agree, italians definitely know what they are doing! This is what i called "design", people say we will get used to the look of the F10, but hey, why should you compromise and fooling yourself? F10 looks fine to me but definitely not a handsome car. Just my opinion

Thats the 1.6 alfa with ECU remapped, my friend had the supersprint on aswell and it sounds fabulous!!
All Alfa are great to look and sounds, very easy to drive too but the FF setup make it no good to push hard

Alfa is quite reliable these day.
There will be some little problems like the windows wont go up smoothly in winter, or some rattling in the dashboard which also happens on my E60 aswell, just minor problems like in other cars.

but i have heard there are problem with the automatics, as alfa is using the Auto clutch which is the same used on the old maserati, very jerky at low speed and need some attention after few years.
