escorts are shit... i mean the engine is ok, the handling is pretty good also but the quality of the whole car...thats just pethetic... i ve got no words to discribe how bad it is.

Ford always have good builds how many 23 year old cars with a 1.6 N/A cvh single cam engine do u know that will hit 60 in 7.4 seconds and easyly hit 120mph.
i am not saying that its slow. i ve driven a ford focus and i must say that is very fast for a 1.6 car, and its very agile. But older escorts mk II of monedos 90s models are very very very bad build. but they are fun to drive !
@Pinin500 anyway i agree with you 100%. i prefer a car that brakes down every 100km but it makes me smile when it goes then a reliable boring ugly shit
@MakuthePOtHead ; The reliability of italian cars is no different to other brands, they also are galvanized
since the early 1990's so do not rust, they use Bosch fuel injection so always start, one of my Alfa's is 10 years old and i've used it everyday for the last 4 and a half years and its always started, but still even it it decided not to start one day i would rather push my Alfa romeo than drive a BMW.....
The myth regarding reliability and rust is just that, pure myth,
who ever put thumps down sayign the 156 v6 is a good handling/braking car really have never owned one. Try 16" rotors on my escort before u neg this :P i never said std .
The V6 is too heavy fort this car... and then there are problem with turning and braking but on long distances it will be good but agree with mischievous666 .. V6 to highways, the others everywhere... but what is your opinion on 1.9JTD or 2.4JTD. I know diesel...but they are drinking about 6-7l/100km... thanks :-)
The interior is amazing! Even on our days, is better than many cars! Only a Navigation is missing...

ALFA THE BEST

If you buy an Alfa romeo its got to be red...silver isn't the best colour to show off
the style, also the V6 busso engine is a gem, designed by Ex Ferrari engineer.
The GTV was penned and built by Pinninfarina so with the V6 its a baby Ferrari
but without the exotic pricetag...forza Alfa romeo...

Who cares about top speed, its the way Alfa's twincam get to 60mph that interests
me, its a real driver focused car, a gem..also very stylish being Italian...
Had the rest over the last 15 years, last 5 = Alfa's and the best fun on four wheels..
Pure Italian automotive art.....italia forever nothing else comes close..

This is different normally its Toyota and BMW fans glancing enviously at Alfa's
now we can add Ford yawnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn to the list...
Bring on the italian madness..cuore sportiv..
Engines are twincam VVT and 8x plug with 155bhp which isn't much these days,
but mated to that close ratio gearbox its a stormer, 3000 to 7000rpm its all Raspy
like most good italian twincams and 60mph in 8.1 sec isn't that slow..
The joy is the way the power come on, howling and raspy, addictive stuff..

i have a 156 2.5 are the twin spark 2.0 faster ??
antonyr123 3 years ago
they are lighter... and more comfortable when driving in town.
the v6 is for driving long distances.
don`t think the 2.0 is faster...

@Pinin500 ; My Alfa experience has been fantastic, so good i added a GTV as a weekend car, no rust and
everything including electric seats, air con all works perfectly and this is a 6 year old car, looks like new..
Cars need servicing once a year and if the owner neglects it then it may become unreliable (like any car)
Life is too short for so called perfect cars, bring on the italian madness

Are you smoking crack or something? the 156 is by far the best looking saloon at the time.
