I mean the 105 is one hot little car, it will always turn heads. One you slip into an Alfa interior you are transported to a happy place far far away from electronic wizardry, airbags and and 'special' Japanese grey elephant scrotum plastics.
This is where I have to disagree with it seems most of the people on this site. I actually think the best thing about Alfa Romeos is NOT their styling but our interactive they are to drive. Might not be the fastest but they are one of the best cars I've ever driven. The steering feel for example is miles better than any other car, and the gear change is just beautiful. Everything is tuned so that driving an Alfa Romeo is far more than just getting from A to B, but a very enjoyable experience. I loved driving my little Sud too ... amazing that they could make such a practical design so much fun.

Why people need to fnck with this I cannot understand? ... why cares if your 40 year old car is now slow, it's still heaps of fun . I bet a 8c2900b fells under powered today ... should we fnck with that car too?

Remember there are plenty of good moderner cars, and NOT everybody is an old car enthusiast ... and there is absolutely no shame in that .
