On whatever car I own as a daily driver I don’t own it out of warranty because I just can’t handle the anxiety lol. I am planning on purchasing an extended warranty because of that so hopefully I get to keep it for quite a while. I’m actually going to be renting a QV on Turo soon. I’ll get to experience the fun without paying almost twice the price. How’s your Alfa experience been?

@johanneswarn5488 3 года назад

I have had a lot of alfas and none were as unreliable as people say. They always worked and always made me smile while driving them.

As happy as it makes me that you did finally mentioned the 156 (absolutely stonking car), i feel i would be remiss if i didn't bring light to the fact that at no point was the GTV mentioned in either its 4 cylinder twin cam OR V6 form. Now its true, the pedal setup was a bit shit on the GTV, if we're being honest... but it was a beautiful car to look at and it handled masterfully (so long as the bushes weren't shagged, which seemed to automatically happen exactly 10 mins after installing a new set).

The Alfa Romeo symbol: The Red Milanese Cross was worn by soldiers in battle, dates back to the crusades. The Biscione (large snake) is an important symbol in Milan's history and was adopted by the House of Visconti (Milan's ruling family for nearly 200 years). The Man emerging from the serpent's mouth represents being reborn. The Crown represents Alfa Romeo's world racing champion status. Lastly, in the earlier original logos, the knots on the outside of the symbol was a tribute to the House of Savoy (one of Italy's oldest royal families).

Finally, Alfa Romeo. The Busso engine is one of the best ever made. I love my 1997 155 with that engine, and will never sell it. If you have never owned an Alfa, you are missing out. Also, I dunno how Donut came down on the 156 so hard, it actually is fairly reliable...as long as you got the manual and the Busso V6. So many great Alfas were missed in this segment though, sad the most beautiful car ever made, the 159/Brera, wasnt even mentioned. GTV6? Nope. 147 GTA hot hatch? Nope. 916 GTV Cup? Nope.

@MrPittsbrother 4 года назад

Alfa Romeo often gets mistaken for a German car. The Alfa might get one error code in ten years to the German cars 10 every day.

All modern Alfas are the most reliable with diesel engines though.

@Tunnel_Rat69 4 года назад

159 is definitely the most beautiful

@j4stice746 4 года назад

Had a 159, didnt go much for it. On my second GT, first one was a diesel which was great, and pulled like a choo choo, current one is a 2.0jts which is an absolute riot and sounds fantastic, a little more high maintainance than the jtd but hell, a full blooded itailan that takes all my money and leaves me with a massive smile on my face after ive exited her? yes please! My daily is a 156 sportwagon jtdm and is honestly brilliant. Handles like a dream and goes like stink.Oh and just for the record, I have also had a BMW. I gave it away.Shitbox.

@bunktwr 3 года назад

For those who like Alfa Romeo but are new to it, i suggest to go check the 147(hatch back fwd also powered by the Busso in the GTA version), the 159 (fwd sedan super good looking), the Alfa Brera (beautiful looking and also available in 4wd with 3.2 L Busso) then also the modern tz3 stradale (made in few units, and build based on the Dodge Viper). Alfa is also very important for the technological evolution of diesel engine for modern cars. JTD is indeed the first and most reliable diesel engine on the market. Thanks to their innovations diesel became more and more powerful, reaching big big hp with just few tuning operations. Go check it!

The only problem with the Alfa Romeo 156/147/GT was (is) the the unreliable owners. With the correct service still is one of the most reliable car ever with the best looking shape even after all those years.Specialy with the Twin Spark engine is a gem. Over 400.000 km and still running like a charm on many owners hands here. Same applies to the other models of the brand too.

@johnphaceas7434 8 месяцев назад

Absolutely true. I've had 3 Busso-powered 156s over the last 11 years - all have been super durable as well as beautiful and brilliant to drive. My current one - a rare 2002 GTA - is my daily driver and has done over 256,000km.
