Alfa Romeo 1986 75
  • Economy

    Value

    5 out of 5 5.0

    150bhp, RWD for only £600. Bargain.

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Some parts expensive, but not too bad if you shop around.

  • On the road

    Driving

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Still feels tight at 115,000 miles. Fantastic RWD chassis.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    150bhp, loads of mid-range due to variable timing. Still one of the fastest sports saloons out there.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Only had mine for 5000 miles, but I have no reason to suspect anything is wrong.

    5 out of 5 5.0

    It's a personal thing. I think it looks great. Non-car enthusiasts are taken in by the badge.

    Comfort

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Very comfortable, but some controls are hard to reach.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    3 out of 5 3.0

    No security as standard, but no-one steals them anyway.

    Service

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Alfa dealers not interested, but parts backup from Alfa is pretty good.

  • Problems and Ownership

    Problems

    Engine

    Mine had been standing for 12 months and needed the camchain tension adjusting.

    Other

    Needed a new clutch, but it's only £80 for the parts and 1.5 hours labour to fit.
