Modern Classics Mag have an article on 147 GTA vs Golf R32 in latest edition: https://www.modernclassicsmagazine.co.uk/driving/vw-golf-r32-vs-alfa-romeo-147-gta

I went to Puglia (the heel of Italy) in Oct for a week and saw hundreds of Alfas - up to 75 in one day. Mostly 147s, 156s, Giulietta's and some Giulias. My girlfriend flew into a separate airport before me and I expressly said, get a Giulietta (that's what we ordered) - when she picked me up in...

.. and a GTA Sportwagon in a straight line on a closed road naturally it was interesting to see the comparison of the two machines from very different eras. From 2nd gear right through to 4th what do you think the result would be? The Golf has 306bhp and a 0-60 of 4.6 so a very fast car. I...

Can Golf 4 Engine(2.0) fit in my Alfa Romeo 156 and still perform the function effectively as the Alfa 156 engine?

This is going to be a long post so if you suffer from ADD now is a good time to find something shorter to read. You have been warned. There's been quite a few posts recently comparing Italian cars to German cars and there is nothing wrong with that, obviously. But some people do strange...

What do you think an unmolested original (well mostly) Mk1 GTi is worth ? Would anyone buy one ?

The Mrs has a mk4 golf and it needs the brakes changing. I hate spending money on it and I hate working on it. So my dilemma is: Do I buy the full set for £60 cheap eBay ones? Or Spend a little more and get the full mintex set for £90? I am dubious about the cheap eBay set as are they any...

Advice needed. Sorry bit of a long story but I need to do it.....I hope you can bare with me, I am going somewhere with this, I think. Hopefully someone here is experienced with the following and can give some advice. So I had a Giulietta Cloverleaf brand new in 2011 when they came out...it...

Drove one today. 100 miles sat in the back looking at all the gadgetry, listening to the Maccy D car park stylee piped through speakers 'zorst boom when in sport mode and generally getting my teeth rattled out. 10 mile drive back on the last leg. It's blisteringly quick, and it does not know...

Today i was suprised by a Golf GTD. Earlier on today i was sat waiting for the traffic lights to change on Chester Rd heading towards Manchester UTD's football ground just minding my own business. When a dark blue Golf GTD stopped besides & goaded me to use, shall we say all what i had...

Hey Ive asked on a golf forum but while I'm waiting for replies just wondered if any of you know where I can get one from? Would like a genuine one and not a cheapo ebay one but I can't find one anywhere.:cry: Thanks in advance P's the golf is the Mrs's

I want one, but how fooking expensive are they?! :eek:

The other weekend the wifes cousin was down from Yorkshire, she has a 1.4 Golf, about 09 plate. She is the type of person who considers a car as a box with 4 wheels which gets you from A-B and makes a good mobile rubbish tip. I commented on the oil bottle she had in the passenger door pocket. It...

i have seen some alfa's with Golf GTi wheels on line, i know the stud pattern PCD is very close to being correct and that this could be got round with "wobbly bolts" but does anyone know the bore size difference between golf wheels and the Alfa wheels?

Upon their UK return last year, my folks bought a MK5 Golf 1.6 FSI manual. It did its job for the time it took them to make a new home here and they clocked up 10k in it. I went in it maybe once or twice, and two things stood out; the ride quality was just superb (15" wheels), and how quiet it...

I was cruising Autotrader looking for possible Ti replacements and getting bored with the repetition of models when I came across this Golf R Genuine :wow: moment. £40k for a 3000 mile old second hand Golf with dubious build quality, squeaky wiper and suspension problems ( courtesy Golf Mk7...
