...my beloved Italian partner - Alfa Romeo 146 ‘Boxer’, I was left gutted when we were separated on Valentine’s Day this year following a minor accident where my car was deemed to be financially more viable to be 'written off' by my insurance company. I received a pay out and then my search for a new partner was on! I searched high and low for suitable partners, I tried Spanish ones - they were fun but just lacked that sense of passion and excitement. ... ...it had to be another Alfa Romeo!
ALFA ROMEO The name Alfa Romeo is synonymous with a long rich racing history and heritage. A unique marque that has made motor racing, driving and owning Alfa Romeo fun! Many many years ago Alfa Romeo may have had a poor image in Uk’s cold climate with the cars being prone to rust, but all that has changed now ever since Alfa Romeo re-entered the UK market with new models with fully reinforced galvanised bodies in ...

Advantages: Everything, excellent handling, excellent looks, excellent performence........ excellent everything. Disadvantages: Not a lot! - Apart from the Insurance!
I bought my Alfa Romeo 146 Ti just over two years ago. Its a P Reg now so is getting on abit and I keep thinking to myself I better get a new car, but I just cannot bring myself to sell it.
I went out looking for a new car just over two years ago and had in my mind I were going to get a Vectra or Laguna or something along those lines, that were until I saw the 146 sitting on the forecourt. As soon as I saw it I fell in love with it and once had ... ...my Alfa! The Alfa 146 has absolutely everything, brilliant performence, excellent handling, is very comfortable, definatley looks the part and it definately gets you noticed! The only disadvantage is the insurance is a fair bit! The best part is being able to leave these boy racers in their zooped up astras or corsas for dust - no problems whatsoever!
I have not regretted buying my Alfa for one single second and will probably still be driving it ...

...master key! (ive been lucky). Alfa Dealers are poor and expensive for servicing, most of them cant solve a simple problem. If their laptop cant find it, theyll say its fine even when its blantently not. The engines have a cam variator which wears out, this will make it sound like a diesel, especially warm starts. Its not damaging to have this, but really annoying and expensive. The Exhaust pipe was dear too. Thats all the major expense ive incurred, ... ...has 165,000 miles and has never let me down, passed 3 of its 4 mots i put it in for (it failed one year on a bulb and lambda sensor) And despite being peppered with stone chips, refuses to rust anywhere. The interior is still like new and all the electrics work, everything, even the headlight washers. Doesnt leak or burn a drop of oil. Have I just been really lucky? I love the mental high ratio steering and all or nothing brakes, light clutch and ...
