1994 Alfa Romeo 33 16V review from Australia and New Zealand
"This car has more bang for buck than a Subaru WRX !"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rust in drivers door and below rear windscreen.
2nd Gear and 3rd Gear need synchro-mesh replaced.
General comments?
This car is very quick for a 1.7L, and handles extremely well, even though it's FWD. I was pleasantly surprised with how fast it went and is a recipe to get speeding tickets.
It is quite slow up until 3500rpm where it really starts to pull, I have reached 110km/h in 2nd and by around 5000rpm the engine roars with the distinctive boxer engine sound.
Overall this car is a pocket rocket and has to be driven to be believed.
The interior is good in the last of the 33 16v models, factory semi-bucket seats which are great for fast corners.
This car is seriously underrated and a bargain, considering its style and performance, if you can find one that has been serviced regularly and well maintained.
If you are considering a Alfa 33, make sure you get a 33 16V not a 1.7 IE or 1.5L!
