1994 Alfa Romeo 145 16v review from UK and Ireland
"Looks great but a dodgy car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Intermittent stalling - computer warning lights coming on now and again saying that something was up with the injection unit.
General comments?
This car had the unnerving habit of stalling at any given speed and without any seeming pattern of factors. I only had it three months, it was in to the dealer at least three times and each time they plugged it into their computer and declared it fixed. After three months the dealer agreed I could swap it for something else. I swapped it for a Honda Accord and have never looked back.
It was an absolutely beautiful car to look at. Beautiful engine note from the boxer engine.
Performance was disappointing. 130 horse power but not at the wheels.
Bit of a lemon this car.
