Faults:

Speedo recently died, but in the process of fixing it.

Nothing else.

The best, most amazing car. It's my first car, but I've always been an Alfa nut.

It feels like nothing on the road today, and just makes everyone look. It looks great with 18" black rims with low profile tyres and racing suspension added, from the previous owner. Because of this, corners are easy and exactly how you want them; never missing the apex, and once you learn how to use that engine, keeping the revs above 4000, you will hit 200 whenever your foot desires.

Funnily enough, I've clocked over 230 Kmh, whereas my friends can barely touch the limit of 210.

The seats hold comfortably, and even on bad roads, it doesn't make my spine fly out.

Faults:

Intermittent break in power (as if switch engine off and then on again, <1 sec). Very rarely happens though.

Engine has knocking noise as if hydraulic lifter/tappet failure (like VW 1.8 when started from cold, only doesn't go away). Under acceleration +/- 1750 rpm noise goes away. As soon as you lift off accelerator at any speed noise returns. Very loud and troublesome. Hydraulic lifters been replaced at tremendous cost to no avail. Any experiences please share bouts@mweb.co.za . Getting desperate.

General Comments:

Awesome vehicle. Hard suspension for slow driving. Drive it spirited though and you will be rewarded with a big rush. Excellent road holding. Relaxed high speed cruiser (5500 rpm = 200 km/h ?) Cannot remember for sure... kept eyes glued to the swerving road. Excellent braking. Good fuel economy for a car this size.
