Car advert pet hates
I have had 4 alfas and no real problem with any of them, the 2.2 is not a great engineer for certain but as I said its about looking good rather than racing around.mr wilks wrote: ↑Sun Jun 06, 2021 10:15 amI too was wooed once by the looks of the Brera & that was the 2.2 jts , lovely cabin let down by poor build ( by comparsion to Germanic standards) .Ole gits rule wrote: ↑Sun Jun 06, 2021 10:02 amTrust me there are loads out there - just look at the zed adverts stating Msport and then when you look they are an SE (nothing wrong with an SE by the way) - it just frustrates me that it looks like people are trying to sell. quicker or at a higher price to someone who is not doing there homework
The build quality is actually pretty good on those, I have had two, however, the 2.0l is actually a 2.2 and its not the quickest or most economical - the car is about cruising not racing for certain
To drive it never felt anything other than lethargic & coupled with random fault lights that came & went i had zero confidence or desire to drive it any further than i was capable of walking home it was back on AT as soon as i received the logbook in my name , total Alfa ownership was around 3 weeks & i waved it off with a smile & a sense of relief
I would have another 2.2 LE spider but I have gown to like the zed - was always one of my favourite cars before I bought

Or the latest trend; "investment car"
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

Fortunately, Alfa build quality was so bad that they tended to fall apart when you drove into something, as happened to me (in the passenger seat) in this Cloverleaf 164.Ole gits rule wrote: ↑Sun Jun 06, 2021 3:41 pmI have had 4 alfas and no real problem with any of them, the 2.2 is not a great engineer for certain but as I said its about looking good rather than racing around.mr wilks wrote: ↑Sun Jun 06, 2021 10:15 amI too was wooed once by the looks of the Brera & that was the 2.2 jts , lovely cabin let down by poor build ( by comparsion to Germanic standards) .Ole gits rule wrote: ↑Sun Jun 06, 2021 10:02 am

Good job really, if it had stayed in one piece, I’d certainly have been a goner.

Thats bloody bad - hopefully I would never have to experience that - cant imagine they would get away with it now based on Euro N cap rating system
