1997 Alfa Romeo 145 Quadrifoglio review from South Africa
"Good fun at a price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Right rear shock absorber packed up at 50000 kms.
Eats front tires. The alignment always seems to be out and requires frequent adjustment.
Fan relay replaced at 40000 kms.
General comments?
Build quality not great.
Handling and performance great.
Almost as much fun to drive as my 911 Porsche.
