A very high performance bargain
Blown ventilator regulator, water pump and thermostat all at one time!
I was skeptic when I bought it due to high mileage. It is a terrific car, with no problems at all. The usual Alfa reputation does not apply here! Handles like on rails and is very fast. The only problem is high engine noise above 5.000 rpm. Mine has a hole in the exhaust and I suggest that every 155 owner drills one too, because the sound is fantastic!! I am very happy with this car. Has very spacious interior and the boot is huge. I drive it for 3.000 km per month on average and I take long trips. This car is made for driving pleasure and you can find it at very low prices.

The bad reputation should actually have been directed at some specific models, like the Alfasud (a car that was made with dubious materials), but not all Alfa Romeos.
Many Alfas from the 1980s and 1990s were excellent, the one reviewed is one of them.
I personally owned a 75 for almost 20 years and didn't have a single major breakdown.
Reading your article confirms my thoughts about Alfas: good cars and fun to drive.
