1978 Alfa Romeo Alfasud review from Australia and New Zealand
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The Sud suffers from the usual electrical peculiarities.
The petrol gauge more or less works like a rev counter.
There is a fair amount of rust around but this is to be expected of any Sud.
General comments?
The Sud is my daily driver and I can't fault it for getting from A to B. It sounds great and goes very well. It is great to throw around on a country road but will not win you any credit with females. In fact my girlfriend shudders every time the word Sud is mention and refuses to drive it. However, if I had to choose between her and the car... the Sud would win hands down!
