  • Neither the RAC or the AA will cover Alfas, in fact the telephone operator will hang up on you without explanation as soon as you say "my Alfa Romeo has..." !!{CLICK}}
  • Ignore all the doom mongers, I've had 3 Alfa's to date including a 33, 156 and a 147. The 156 is without doubt the best and most comfortable car I have ever owned. Owned it for 3 years and no trouble (apart from when some punk stabbed a tyre). Plenty of specialists for servicing and repairs if needed. I would however get the cambelt checked every 36000 miles and as with other cars, is usually quite a sum.

    Its usually people who have never owned an Alfa who say never to get one. You'll love it.

    Yeah I gathered that LOL
    Well I absolutely love our new car, had it checked over by my mums mechanic yesterday and he said it's in really good condition.
    He even wrote down his top tips for looking after alfas, he is a proper car fanatic so knows alot about the upkeep of them.
