2007 Alfa Romeo Spider
Alfa Romeo Spider
Like the Brera in the mid-2009 it has new features in the range of engines: the 185 hp 2.2 JTS is replaced by the new 1750 TBI 200 hp, also present in the 159. Remain unchanged from the gasoline engine (3.2 V6 260 hp) and the only Diesel (2.4 JTD 200 hp).
Alfa Romeo Spider
The gearbox can be manual or six-speed automatic, two types (two of six relationships). One has the structure of a manual with the automatic selection of gears and the clutch (Selespeed) and the other is a planetary gearbox and hydraulic torque converter ('Q-Tronic). The variant of 260 hp can have traction, while the rest of the range models are front-wheel drive.
Alfa Romeo Spider
The 3.2 JTS engine version is available from € 43,400. Given its size and power is not a high price, as an Audi TT Roadster (250 hp), a BMW Z4 Roadster 3.0 if (258 hp) or a Mercedes-Benz SLK 280 (231 hp) are smaller and more expensive.

However, the relationship between price and performance of this version is not good. Furthermore, consumption is very high (much higher than the TT, the Z4 and SLK).

The most positive aspects of the Alfa Romeo Spider have to do with your comfort and pleasure to use, with the hood open or closed. In the Alfa Romeo Spider is not clearly worse than traveling in a comfortable car with closed body.
Alfa Romeo Spider
The appearance of the interior materials and quality are equal to what one would expect from a car of its price. Compared with models such as a Porsche Boxster or Audi TT Roadster, the Alfa Romeo Spider is more advisable for those who want a convertible instead of comfortable sports.

At least with power seats, the Alfa Romeo Spider does not have much vertical space for drivers, which measure more than 1.80 m. Does not seem appropriate for measuring more than 1.90 m, because it is the face a few inches of the windshield frame but the seat is placed as far back as possible.
Alfa Romeo Spider
All Alfa Romeo Spider are standard stability control (VSC), helps the start ramp ("Hill-Holder"), two-zone climate control, automatic connection of lights and rear wiper yasistente car (and visual warnings acoustic).

The level of equipment is complete with respect to the basic alarm, a specific trim for the seats (Alfatex), developer of speed, electrically folding mirrors, discs and charger connection 'Bluetooth' for the phone.
Alfa Romeo Spider
In the options list is a stereo 'Bose' phone, a navigation system with Connect NAV + 6.5 color screen and a system for recognizing voice commands (for browser and phone). Headlamps dual xenon are also optional and recommended (give a good lighting).

The interior of the Alfa Romeo Spider 3.2 is well managed, the quality of their materials, the finish on the hood of canvas or the number of holes that are useful for depositing objects.

When the canopy is deployed from the interior is not in sight any mechanism or articulation. When folded, and unlike in other models like the Audi TT, is completely hidden under a cover.

In place of the two small rear seats that are in the Brera, the Alfa Romeo Spider has placed in the two chests with lids that are well upholstered, are extensive and very useful for certain objects.

The gap on these boxes, there is always free but seats are in their rearmost position (unless the back is very prone), therefore, there can be cases, small travel or other expenses (if Porterage is insufficient).
Alfa Romeo Spider
The volume of the trunk does not vary with the position of the hood: its capacity is 253 l, a figure lower than in other Convertibles their size. However, its shape makes it more useful than other models. For example, height is enough to put up a suitcase of aircraft cabin (ie, keeps the handle at the top).
Alfa Romeo Spider
The exterior of the Alfa size (bigger than a Mercedes-Benz SLK or Audi TT) noted that the inner door of the occupants are away and that the longitudinal space is very large (seats can be placed far from the steering wheel). In contrast, the ceiling height may be low for people over 1.80 m that are more upright.
Alfa Romeo Spider
For a driver that measures more than 1.90, while the seat moves to the end, it is very uncomfortable. With the canopy deployed, it is likely that with the head on the ceiling. With the roof folded, its head is above the upper edge of the windshield and the front frame of a few centimeters (the windshield is really).
Alfa Romeo Spider
The ventilation system has positive aspects, for example, if traveling cabriolet with cool weather, you can get to give a good flow of hot air exits the vent below the front panel outputs (that can be targeted to hands of the driver).

The aerodynamic deflector is transparent plastic, which is made of this material towards the rear visibility is better than the cars that go by that device made of a mesh. The drawback is that especially during the night can cause some glare. This deflector is not to remove it often. The process is cumbersome, among other things, required to start the folding roof and stop the process when the flip cover that is still open.
Alfa Romeo Spider
With a ceiling placed on the body, you can travel at a normal pace without reaching the interior noise, caused by wind or by other traffic or by other sources. As in other cars of this type, the three four rear visibility is very poor, which is especially appreciated in the exits of parking on drums and some crosses.
Alfa Romeo Spider
In general the result is convertible as good because even a moderate speed (about 100 km / h) you can travel without too much shake the air to occupants and allowing a normal conversation with a companion.
Alfa Romeo Spider
In a relaxed driving, the most heard in the grave is the sound that has the exhaust up to 3000 rpm. This sound can be enjoyable, especially when, due to changes of rate-change frequency.
Alfa Romeo Spider
In a tour with a significant wind against, requiring something to be faster than normal while the engine speed was low (always in the sixth speed), the exhaust noise was noticeable and eventually became monotonous.
Alfa Romeo Spider
As in all Convertibles (even in a Mercedes-Benz SLK with vents at the top of 'airscraft'), if the weather is cool, thanks a scarf or high collar of a garment to avoid uncomfortable slight air turbulence coming from the rear of the bodywork.

The Alfa Romeo Spider is the reactions of a road car large. You can feel confident on motorways or roads of good comprehensive curves. The roads can be made long trips to the rhythm because it is conducted with ease, as a large sedan.
Alfa Romeo Spider
Which is not the Alfa Romeo Spider is a quick car, especially the version with V6 3.2 engine 260 hp. It is a very heavy car (1,765 kg in terms of approval) and that is how it actually feels slow road curves.
Alfa Romeo Spider
The Alfa Romeo Spider does not react quickly. To travel at a normal pace or fast wide roads and comfort, Alfa is a car right.

It uses whatever is going to give the Alfa Romeo Spider brakes are a certain resistance to warming. The brakes of the Alfa Romeo Spider began to pour smoke where most of the cars slow or even. The brake calipers are made by Brembo.

The number of tires in this release are 225/50 R17, but can optionally have a 235/45 R 18 and 215/55 R 16 (smaller that can be put snow chains).

In fact, in different driving conditions, their consumption is much lower than for cars bigger and more powerful. For example, a Mercedes-Benz S500 with a 5.5 liter engine 388 hp spent less on trips to more or less steady rate.
Alfa Romeo Spider
The minimum consumption of the Alfa Romeo Spider hopefully not too much speed for a highway is more than 10 l/100 km. In a half journey by road and half by extensive two-way roads, almost always at a constant speed (about 130 km / h marker) and a final average of 107 km / h, consumption was 12.0 l/100 km.
Alfa Romeo Spider
At a distance of 300 km, of which about 50 km were used to its maximum capacity of acceleration and the rest at a rapid pace, spent 21 l/100 km. In a similar tour, an Audi TT Roadster 2.0 TFSI 200 hp spent about 14.0 l/100 km.
Alfa Romeo Spider
This engine is originally from General Motors, adapted by Alfa Romeo. This is the first time Alfa Romeo uses a gasoline engine that is not entirely theirs and the result is positive. Even in the Alfa Romeo Arna (a joint project with Nissan launched in 1984) and in models that were more common with Fiat (like 155), Alfa Romeo continued to use their gasoline engines, with better outcome in this case.
Alfa Romeo Spider
The total drive system (for the Alfa Romeo Spider 3.2 V6) has a central differential type Torsen (type T-3 or C), called "Twin Diff 'because part of the front differential and central (which yes it is), which saves space and weight. The central differential makes a continuous distribution of engine power so that, when all the wheels have the same grip, the front makes 43 per cent of the rear and 57 per cent.
Alfa Romeo Spider
Except for differences due to the roof, the Alfa Romeo Spider shares most mechanical and structural elements of the Brera. The suspension is similar to the Brera and the 159. Front has a system of overlapping triangles made of aluminum (which forms a parallelogram deformable figuratively). The rear is also deformable parallelogram, with a multilink system.
