    I bought a Sprint new - beautiful car, thrilling handling, gorgeous engine and fantastic style. At 7 months old, a rust bubble appeared near where one of the windscreen wipers entered the body. I took it to the dealer and was told that the warranty against rust was 6 months.

      the last Alfa i bought was the 164 3 years ago from someone near cascais, lisbon , the car was mint inside out , he had ordered covers for the seats from Italy to match the doors cloth and when driving it was like new ,he asked me 2.000€ and the boxer engine with 2.0L was a important factor it as 120 h.p. or 140, i´m not sure now but my father had the 24 valves 3.0V6 quadrofoglio, but at the time i had the new Dedra 2.0L turbo ,gasoline engine and he asked me too much so i didn´t kept it but today it sells for 3 times more than he asked me with 3 years of running , but isn´t a slow car ,even with it´s size still feels like a sport car

    The last of Alfasud family the Alfa Romeo 33 third series Imola was fantastic, out of the times, and not modern in all the aspects, but fun like a supercar.

    you say the alfasud has been an undoubted failure for its maker making a loss from day one, but still it has been the best selling alfa ever made.
    you say the 33 failed to capture the heart and mind of buyers, but still it has been the 2nd best selling alfa ever made.

    The most modern Alfa Romeo project was a VW Porsche and in absburgic engineering tradition from history of Steyr / Tatra / Porsche and VW.

    Great video. Alfa Romeo lost to BMW and Mercedes in the last 50 years. With the current dynamics (all gens of BMW and Mercedes looking same) and the new "Alfasud" Alfa Junior-Milano, the next decade and beyond should belong to Alfa Romeo, if quality and reliability can be enhanced.

    What should have been a great car was ruined by its rust problems some clever ideas in this car but ruined with poor build quality too

    Dite quello che vi pare sulla ruggine.... però meccanicamente parlando, non c'era nessuna macchina in grado di competere , nella sua cilindrata, con L'ALFASUD.🇮🇹👍🏻
