Product Overview

Alfa Romeo Spider 916 is an affordable compact convertible in production from 1995 to 2004. It was available with a range of inline-4 and V6 engines that displaced 1.7 to 3.2 liters.
Based on the 916 GTV, the 916 Spider is a little fun car with decent driving dynamics, considering its price point. Unfortunately, Alfa Romeo botched the car's styling, resulting in an outright ugly top-up look.
Owners may find that at speed the vehicle consumes a lot more than the numbers indicate, thanks to a disappointing 0.38 coefficient of drag to show for it. Utility-minded owners will likely need to keep an alternative for hauling things around, as the tiny cargo space is almost surely insufficient.
