Alfa Romeo CHALLENGE | Top Gear
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
The Top Gear trio's attempt to make their one thousand pound Alfas look good come hilariously unstuck as they line up on a race track against some speedy, and frankly, much more reliable cars!

My first two cars were an Alfa156 v6 and 916 GTV v6. I now own a Maserati Gransport 4.2 v8. I still miss both my alfas! Theyre not kidding when they say Alfas have a certain 'magic'. The GTV for example just FELT so responsive and lively! The 156 v6 2.5 litre sounded AMAZING. Yes, the Maserati is obviously a much higher caliber car, but a car is a lot of things and Alfas give you this amazing feeling of being driver centric and, for their price, are amazing

"It's Alfa's. They do things that you're just not ready for." - Jeremy Clarkson A very useful quote for petrolheads... literally
I tried to get a point by overtaking Captain Slow [crash]. Naturally, that got us black flagged, but at least I took full responsibility. *YOU turned in on me!*
So well said. My car was an alfa. Its was so fun and classy and dynamic. Such a pleasure to drive. But ive never seen a car disintegrate without any exterior impact like it did!

I've had an Alfa 145 for 14 years now, regularly driven at full speed (above 200 Km/h), ran 210.000 Km, spent all her life in the street, no major part was ever changed, not one breakdown or unexpected failure of any part. No noticeable rust except now for the exhaust system but then I visited seasides quite a lot too. Still as frisky as she used to be when new.

i could of gotten lucky with mine, or you could of gotten unlucky with yours, also you need to realise most of the things you named are things that have to be replaced on a regular basis on pretty much any car, like the leather or the lambda sensor, for example i did have to replace the lambda sensor once (cheap fix), i have an aftermarket exhaust so i cant say anything about the rust, my gearbox works well, the only leather that looks a little worn is the one on the steering wheel ( cheap fix), badges look good, dashboard lights look good, water pump never gave me any problems. not every car is the same. oh and i did have problems with my sideskirts but only because the roads here are shit and i damaged the mounting points after hitting some potholes pretty hard. every car has its flaws, i am not saying it is perfect but it isnt unrealiable either.

In the Spider, you only have to think of a corner to make it oversteer. It has a live rear axle, very little weight in the back, and therefore hardly any rear-wheel traction in corners. My favorite of the three, given they were in good condition, would be the 75
Seeing that the cars range of 15 + years old I'm not surprised they all broke down, if you take any car to the track and beat the living piss out of them they all will brake down or have some sort of mechanical failure

The problem with alfas is just that everyone expects them to be as good as bmws and Mercedes’ while treating them much worse. If you treat a bmw like you would treat an Alfa, it won’t even reach 100.000.

Anyone else notice how the best Top Gear clips are all a decade old now? That show was going downhill for a long time.
As an Italian, I can say one thing, my father is a true “alfista” since the 60’s, Alfa Junior, GTV, Giulietta, Alfetta, 33 sw, 164. I’ve always been on his cara since I was a baby.. the engine of a 2.0 v6 busso modified will deeply remains in my soul. Everything they saying about problems is also true. I remember on garda lake’s highway in summer running at 200km/h in the 164 and the rearview mirror felt down because the glue that was keeping it up just did’n’t kept it. imagine this was a 65 millions Italians Lira at this moment.. probably comparable to a 45k € today. Anyway my friends still loves my father because when we were young they wanted to come in my father’s car because the émotions were strongers than they’re parents pussies Mercedes cdi

Anyone can say what they want about Alfas, but typically the bashers know little to nothing about them. I've owned over thirty cars in my life, including four Porsches, but I only drive Alfas now. I have the most fun in them. And the person who said they were s*t in the '80s... really? The GTV6 and the 75/Milano were fantastic drivers cars, and I'd take a 164S or Q over the 5-series of that time. All my Alfas (I'm on my 5th) still ran and looked like new well past 100K miles. Their engines go forever if maintained. Whatever else, they are designed for fun, and they succeed.

To be fair, they werent in top condition to begin with LOL. That said, my Alfa GT honored me with a 2300EUR Selespeed repair not long ago. Still, everytime i drive it, i have fun, i cant imagine how much fun you can have with a "real" alfa like those.
Ive said it before and I'll say it again. Cheap car challenges are what Top Gear do best imo, so much fun. Do more! Ya hear?!
