Alfa Romeo’s design team put its stamp on the Spider’s interior too. The Alfa badge is embossed into the headrests of the gorgeous leather seats (where fitted) and there is much more creative use of colour than in the Alfa’s sombre rivals – such as the Audi TT. The instruments are all angled towards the driver and though the switchgear is ageing, it’s laid out logically and easy to use. Quality is good, as befits the price tag.
