Piece of junk
The 145 was potentially a great car, but like so many Alfas was hobbled by poor quality and shocking dealers.
I bought two of these from new and they were always faulty, with issues such as gearbox failure, engine misfires, oil leaks, and a myriad of electrical/trim faults.
And that was from new. The second one broke down with under 200 miles on the clock.
I eventually gave up and bought a VW.
Seriously, if you are tempted to buy one of these cars now, take my advice and don't bother.
