1999 Alfa Romeo 145 review from Croatia
"Great car!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing.
General comments?
Fast, sporty, reliable, beautiful interior & exterior, cool engine sound & performance,... I'd like to spend money to improve something, but I have no idea what should it be ;)
However, there are some minor problems:
1. windshield is getting "foggy" when it is wet & cold outside and there are more than one one person (beside me) in the cabin... it's hard to get it clear even using air-conditioner, but I guess it's because of air-con filter that has probably never been renewed ...
2. hand brake gets stucked when outdoor temp is below 0 C (handbrake "cable" needs replacement)
3. driver seat position is excellent, but only in the default (lowest) setting, otherwise it's generally too high
4. shockers are hard (sporty), not providing comfortable driving on bad roads
