1999 Alfa Romeo 146 ti review from UK and Ireland
"An excellent car if you're willing to lavish the dough on it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front passenger door fell off while it was still under warranty.
Keys need to be recoded on a regular basis.
General comments?
This car is fast - but only if you are prepared to have it tuned to near racing car conditions on a regular basis.
It does not like to be driven slow. It feels like a dog yanking on a leash at 30 miles an hour.
Brilliant on long journeys. Seats seemed a little hard when first purchased, but the support comes into its own on long journeys.
