Alfa Romeo 1995 146
  • Economy

    Value

    3 out of 5 3.0

    I paid a fair bit for mine. But from prices I've seen recently there are some bargains to be had.

    Costs

    2 out of 5 2.0

    I've had to change a couple of sensors and the clutch salve cylinder so far. Main dealer service departments charge a lot. Parts can be expensive from Alfa, but sourcing parts from alternative places can be a lot cheaper.

    I guess its all down to personal taste, but I think the 146 looks better than any other car of similar price/age/size.

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Nice interier, plain, simple and classy.

    Service department was very helpful and expensive.

  • Problems and Ownership

    Problems

    Engine

    Lambda sensor broke causing the car to run rich.

    Other

    Rear brake calipers had seized at some point and the rear pads were glazed causing a horrible squeeking noise when reversing. New pads sorted this.
