That's absolutely a nice car i like it people who complain keep complaining then u can't buy any car in this earthMy Friend says her Alpha is brilliant until something goes wrong with it... i think that meant, that if something does go wrong with it its very expensive to put right...
Does the chime unit on a 1994 Saturn SW2 control anything other than the chime?
The pros for buying an Alpha are It is a great car to drive . It looks brilliant and the performance for the money is second to none.Where can i get the fuse diagram for a 99 ford ranger 4x4?
The cons its value will drop like a stone and it will break down on you at least once while you own it and that is if you are lucky .

If the pros out weigh the cons in your opinion buy the car and happy motoring . If you can't put up with the cons buy yourself a nice Japanese or German car.
Volvo 740 Turbo no longer has 5th gear?
A colleague of mine used to be a mechanic and he used to work on Alfa's. According to him the body work is the worst of any car on the market and they are seriously prone to early rust. Also the electrics are a joke ... apparently they break down quite often with a mixture of problems and nothing seems to have improved even on the new models!Greddy turbo I drive a 2003 CTS Cadillac V6. Do you make a turbo kit for this veh?
They do look good though!!
Nice motors but they are horribly unreliable, for the kind of money your spending there are better cars on the market
I have an old Peugeot 106 "M" reg with a problem with the immobiliser?
Okay first off I am absolutely envious that you all have the choice of the new Alfa Models. Here in the U. S of backwards of A the nice make and models of cars are not available. I do have a 1984 Spider that I drive all the time. It had one previous owner; a Biology Professor that let it sit nine years while he was in the jungle or something. I dropped the tank to the scrapper, flushed the new lines and new tank, put new filters, gas, and oil then drove it away. Except for the annoyance of horrid understeer and the radio going off when I push the brake it has driven well and ( touch wood ) never let me down. So enjoy the Alfa if you want an Alfa but don't buy it if your heart isn't in it. The parts are costly and sorting some issues are a fiddly mess. Regular service and regular use keep mine healthy. It isn't a Drive and forget machine get a jappo cracker box for that.Buttons on the rear view mirror?
No one can call themselves a real petrol head until theyve owned an alfa, this car company is great for the looks, comfort etc, but reliability is terrible! everything goes wrong atleast once, "in an alfa one is never bored, sometimes your in love and others you want to stab the bloody lead engineer, but your NEVER bored"-james mayCan I install an MSD ignition on a 2004 3.9 Mustang?
I have owned from new (December 2002) an Alfa 156GTA which has the 3.2 litre version of your car. I've enjoyed every single minute of driving this car so much so that even now, as it approaches 5 years old I cannot part with it. Never a problem mechanically. Paintwork could be better and certainly depreciation is a joke but the thrill of powering along the highways is something else. Flat out in Germany, there's little to touch it even now. When the 159GTA appears, I'll more than likely go for that (and still keep the GTA as a future collector's item for my sons) but your GTV should be okay if it's been well-driven.Do any of you know anyone who has purchased a hybrid car?
Hi, I`ve owned my present 156 for 4 months, It`s a 03 model with every gizmo you could ever want on it. In short you have to buy the best car you can afford with full Alfa service history, no compromise.I simply love my car, I never get out of it without looking back at it as I walk away. It never fails to make me smile when I drive it and it has performance & handling to make most other cars pail.
I`ve found it to be perfectly reliable and suprisingly good on juice. Don`t worry about it going wrong before it does as all cars are prone to fail, just remember you are buying a great value sports / exec car that when bought second hand represents amazing value for money But as with all cars of this type the service & repair costs are going to be more than an equvilant Ford etc. The main failing of Alfa Romeo cars is the dealership service, it`s absolutely cr*p. Find an independant Garage and enjoy your car.
Just remember the 156 was twice car of the year and you see an awful lot of them on the road, but never a rusty one...

RUN WHILE YOU STILL CAN!Check engine light came on on 99' Honda Prelude?
I had an 86 GTV6..LOVE TOO DRIVE IT.. glad its gone...Think long and hard on this one..I would buy another one If I could find one but would not be my primary car..Parts not quick to find no dealers left in the states..An AUTODELTA dealer might be able to get them but I would check first they are few and far between...Had alot of problems with mine mostly due to this wonderful northeast weather just glad I worked on them for awhile at an alfa dealer..They have little to no weatherproofing on anything electrical..Are the current circumstances calling forth a volunteer ?
Check. I think it is the V6 that needs a new cam belt around 70000 miles, which is an engine out job. £1300 at the dealers.my son owns a GTV great whilst its running but Alpha parts seem to impossible to get in the U.k. i.e 8 weeks for a wing mirror to arrive from Italy.
