The ALFA ROMEO BRERA (2006-11) 3DR COUPE 3.2 V6 JTS 260 6SPD is a stylish, three-door sports coupe rather than a practical family hatchback. In the UK used-car market, it appeals to drivers wanting Italian character and a distinctive weekend or second car, with more presence than an everyday commuter. The 3.2-litre V6 gives the Brera a lively drive and soundtrack, setting it apart from rivals including Audi TT and BMW 3 Series Coupe. Sculpted styling and a snug cabin are attractions. However, running costs, rear-seat room and boot space are compromises, making it suited to couples rather than families. mycarcheck.com records 33 look-ups covering 14 distinct VINs, so these figures offer a useful snapshot rather than a complete market picture. Recorded cars averaged 92,000 miles, around 3,000 miles a year, and nearly four previous keepers; the average private-sale valuation was £4,500. Check each car’s history and condition before buying.
