1983 Alfa Romeo Alfasud Ti review from UK and Ireland
"The rocket roller skate"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Alternator has problems regulating the current and various connectors failed.
Fuel guage as accurate as a tennis ball in a bow.
Rust, had around the windscreen cleaned up and sprayed. Still has a drivers door skin and sills on the list for the next visit to the body shop.
Leaks by passenger door when using a car wash!
General comments?
Used daily during the summer and stored over the winter to try to protect the bodywork from salt, the Sud provides more grins per mile than any other car I have driven.
Handling is precise and kart-like, and you find you put on a bit more lock than needed expecting under-steer that just never happens.
The 1.3 boxer engine sounds wonderful through the twin 'pea-shooter' exhaust, just egging you on to push down on the faster pedal. Could do with a bit more power, but this car cannot be beaten around the twisty stuff.
