1999 Alfa Romeo 146 TS 1.8 review from UK and Ireland
"I get into it every morning and it puts a smile on my face.,"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Offside door stay problem.
General comments?
Superb performance.
Outstanding Alfa looks. Is this one of the prettiest cars they have ever designed?
Mine is Maroon. What better colour?
Cabin comfortable and secure, but lacks class of 147 and 156.
I am getting heartily sick of every baseball capped owner of Volks GTI's or 1.2 Corsa's, with great big exhausts, trying to tailgate. Is it the badge that does it? I have seen most of them off with the outstanding mid range 5th to 3rd gear accelleration, but they still will not learn!!!
