for the thrill of 2 hours of weekend driving, perhaps 20 hours per week. :p

The new Alfas dun have the boxer engines anymore. I dun see any beautiful alfa models after takeover by Fiat.

My very first car was a 2nd hand 1977 sprint...bought in mid 80s for $7000 bucks.
Super cool machiam a baby lotus espirit.
It was white later facelifted it myself with friends and repainted to yellow....Loved that car....many fond memories.

I used to wish for an Alfa Spider but never managed to afford it.

Don't mean to put a damper on fans of this "marque" but I owned an Alfa (Cloverleaf) once which left me a with very poor impression of the brand. Very nice to drive after a fresh tune up and visit to the workshop, but soon after that ,breaks down often, parts wear unexpectedly fast, and worst was the dealer - very poor standard of model support, doesn't carry parts. It only sold well that time because the Lira was low. Hope you have better luck than I did.

Cheers!

lira? that was a long time ago. this is now. fiat quality and dealership support have gone up quite some notches after they start releasing the 500 in the u.s. i see so many fiat cars now in the bay area. the bmw mini is taking a beating.

Yup, that was in the early nineties. I am sure manufacturers have improved their products and quality control, but old lessons and experience learned the hard and painful way are not easily forgotten. In any case when it comes to automobiles, after that experience, and similar one with Chevrolet in Canada, I've decided to stick with Honda or Toyota, they may be common and to some, even mundane, but expenses will be spent mostly on car's running and upkeep and not for unnecessary workshop charges. For Alfa, don't see them in Canada at all.

I want.
I think manufacturing technology must be sufficiently advanced you have to try hard to make a totally bad car these days.

 

[Dark Knight]

Doesn't mean you drive an Alfa you can be a Romeo.
It either go very fast or just stay put in the workshop.
One of the problematic European car for your need of speed.

No. The alfa romeo sprint was the 2 door coupe version of the alfasud. Sometimes refer to as the alfasud sprint.
It wasn't a gas guzzler....they had variants from 1.2L to 1.7L....mine was the 1.4L.....just nice enough power and could outrun even the 1st generation celica GTs then.

Almost bought one in the mid to late 80s. Until my mechanic friend told me not to. Cant recall the model but the clover green was its best seller.

It does not have power steering which is good unlike the pussy steering nowadays on most cars that you cant even get a feel of the road. This car is built for fun and sharp handling dont expect comfort and able to bring your entire family out.

not mustang. it was a colt. 6 rounds in the chambers.
