1998 Alfa Romeo 145 TS review from UK and Ireland
"Delightful little car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Initially had major problems with petrol cut off switch. In particular engine wouldn't start! I didn't know what problem was, and neither did Main Dealer! Eventually sorted by the "man from Alfa"
Car had been run from new by the Main Dealer service manager, but there were a number of minor electrical faults. All sorted under warranty.
General comments?
I've been driving for more than 40 years and tis car is by far the best car I have ever had. Amazingly, I have never needed to replace a bulb.
A delight to drive, quick and excellent road holding.
Minor winge - the exterior minors leave an immense blind spot. Had to stick one of those little mirrors onto the offside mirror. Great help.
Boot a bit small for my golf clubs.
