Alfa Romeo is a quintessentially Italian carmaker known for the style and elegance of its sporty vehicles. In a 2008 episode of Top Gear, Hammond, Clarkson and May set out to prove that you can't be a proper petrolhead until you've owned an Alfa. The brand's iconic status also stretches beyond the small screen, with its cars appearing in a slew of blockbusters, including The Godfather, The Graduate, Octopussy and The Talented Mr Ripley. At the 2022 Autocar Awards, the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio was named a future classic, earning praise for being "sublime to drive and beautiful to look at" - a statement that perfectly captures the spirit of the brand.

The Alfa Romeo 159 is a four-door saloon produced between 2004 and 2011, intended as an alternative to conventional models like the BMW 3 Series. It is also available as a ‘Sport Wagon' estate model with a maximum speed of 134.2 mph, achieving 0-60 in about eight seconds. At the 2006 European Car of the Year Awards, the 159 came in third place, and it won a design award at the Fleet World Honours ceremony that same year.

A burning smell may be due to the transmission fluid overheating.As soon as you notice these symptoms, contact a car gearbox specialist who can offer advice.Manual gearboxes are usually easier to maintain because they are simpler; an automatic gearbox repair or semi-automatic gearbox repair requires more specialised skills, so it's essential to find the right transmission specialist.
