The ALFA ROMEO BRERA (2006-11) 3DR COUPE 3.2 Q4 V6 JTS 260 QTRONIC AUTO6 is a striking, three-door sports coupé rather than a practical family hatchback or everyday city car. With bold Italian styling, a powerful V6 engine, automatic gearbox and four-wheel drive, it sits in the UK market as a distinctive alternative to premium coupés from Audi, BMW and Mercedes. It is best suited to drivers who want a car for weekends or long-distance trips and value character and comfort over low running costs or rear-seat space. The Brera’s sculpted looks and V6 sound give it more occasion than many rivals, while Q4 four-wheel drive adds reassurance in conditions. Its automatic makes relaxed cruising easy, though this powerful petrol coupé is unlikely to be an economical choice. Mycarcheck’s five checks across three VINs showed £8,100 average value, 57,000 miles, 3,000 annual miles and 3.2 keepers; the sample is small.
