In my experience, nothing, barring highend supercars have the steering accuracy of an Alfasud. Best car I've ever owned and they have soul.

Couldn't agree more. I owned half a dozen of them in the 80s and early 90s, even when they were shagged out they were great fun to drive. I had an MG ZS which was the closest thing I've owned to the handling and fun, but not quite there..... I swear nothing on this earth will put a smile on your face like a Sud.

Any sub-10min lap of the Norschleife on a busy day in an ordinary car is an achievement. But in an Alfasud? With yellow flags on several bends? Even allowing that the driver knew the track very well and that the car was in tip-top condition, that's moving. Best of all is that it demonstrates two things: in a small car with low power you don't touch the brakes unless you absolutely *have* to: and that Alfasuds are brilliant.

Really nice driven and it do wake up memories. I can't remember how many 'suds I've had. Some of them just rust sheds, but all of them was great fun. I do specially remember my first green 1,2 from 1975. It ended up with a tuned 1,3 and in the end I did change engine in less than 3 hours without any other special tooling than the brake caliper tool. I do also remember the dark blue 1,2 totally balanced with double Weber that was carburettors that was revving 11000rpm... and the red 1,5 with racing cams, the webers from the blue and head jobs done. They were all great fun for little money ... and I did learn how to weld....

Same with a 2600 SZ and later with a 1300 JZ and later with a 1750 injection engine!!! Also had a 75 3.0 V6.

Alla faccia di tutti coloro che affermano che l'Alfasud non è una vera Alfa, solo perché assemblata a Pomigliano e la capostipite della trazione anteriore in Alfa. Con l'Alfasud nel Cuore.
@CapitanFindus4154 жыл бұрын
Le vere Alfa Romeo sono di due tipi: a trazione posteriore (schema più classico per auto più vecchie e ben ripreso dalla Nuova Giulia) a trazione anteriore (più usato di recente) Lasciando stare poche eccezioni (Arna e certe versioni 155) la casa milanese è sempre stata ai vertici per quanto riguarda le doti di tenuta di strada, frenata e stabilità. Insomma quando all' Alfa decidono di fare un Alfa (e non hanno troppi vincoli) la fanno bene eccome. Io sono più tradizionalista: amo di più le Alfa a ruote motrici posteriori. Ma quando a circa 4:10 l' Alfasud a trazione anteriore si beve prima un BMW serie 3 e poi una tostissima Giulietta 116, non si può che tacere ed ammirare.

Also the Michelin TRX tyres were absolutly great, only the were gone in a few thousand km... The red and black seats covered with ti...OMG...what a beauty it was!

@@turboslag That would be terefieng, if i remember correct, it weighted about 900kg dry! Also the brakes were good, but could be better. The disks in fron mounted near the gearbox was a weird thing to see. Then you would need a huge brake upgrade to think about more power. I think the sweetspot would be around 200 max with great brakes! I have driven a Porche panamera turbo with 501hp, but that everyone can do, nothing hard about, 4 weel drive. These cars are a whole other ballgame. But they were so nimble and light...and those dials...my God!

The ultimate driver's car. I got five of it. And d...d, I really should have kept one of them. Its road-holding, its greed for curves and its fine boxer engine easily going to 8000 rpm and more give an amount of joy of driving , which no other car can give. All the Porsches and BMWs, which came later couldn't reproduce this unique experience of driving. Only a transaxle Guilietta 2.0 of the last serie from 1986 and performance-enhanced by the Alfa works came next to it. Who never had the luck to drive an Alfasud, hasn't lived really.
