Recommendations from Expert Alfisti?

Hello!

I'm looking for a stylish and reliable runabout in the ~$15,000 range. I'd really like to take the plunge on Alfa ownership but I need something relatively reliable. The car will be in my care for the next couple of years, have a light but daily workload, receive all proper maintaince and must have three pedals. What should I look for and what should I avoid? I'm especially partial to the looks of GTV, Brera, 159 and Giulietta (especially in QV form) but am open to other models that may be a better buy. Newer is probably better but I think the GTV is in incredible taste.

I owned a 2013 Abarth 500 in the US so I know that Italian cars operate a little differently... but it's part of why they're great. Appreciate any and all replies. Thanks:)

Giulietta QV - Put it into "D" mode . . . will take you 20 minutes to stop giggling.
