1999 Alfa Romeo 145 Cloverleaf review from UK and Ireland
"Foot down, big revs, whooosh"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Squeeky brakes (which the dealer seems unable to fix for more than 1000 miles).
General comments?
A great fun hot hatch. Give it plenty of revs and this car really moves, the steering is nice and tight, the brakes excellent and the general equipment level v.good.
And it looks far better than any other hatch I've come across although it's a bit sparse on the inside (Italian cars, you pay for the engine).
