For There's a decent choice of engines and the steering is sharp. The Brera is a lot less common than German rivals.
Against It’s not cheap, there isn’t much space in the back and rivals are more fun to drive. Petrol models are thirsty and not as quick as you’d hope.
What Car? says
A decent alternative to German rivals and a lot more interesting to look at. But as an ownership proposition, the Brera can’t compete.

Buyer's notes
Target Price team says:
The Brera is all about style, so avoid the expensive and thirsty versions and plump for the 2.2-litre petrol. The diesel is only worth a look if you’re doing serious mileage, because it carries a hefty premium and diesel is dearer at the pumps.
The brochure prices are high, so aim for a decent saving. If your dealer won’t at least hit the Target Price, check out some internet brokers. The Brera won’t hold its value as well as rivals like the Audi TT, so getting a big discount is all the more important.
All Alfas come with a three-year warranty (provided by the dealer you bought the car from), plus a three-year paintwork warranty. Cover is extended to eight years for any anti-perforation issues.
