I would be willing to bet that the book includes the AlfaSud, which,
although prone to rust, was a really nice car to drive. It had a
wonderfully free-revving engine, nice gearchange, excellent handling
for its day and comfortable driving position (once you got used to the
slightly offset steering wheel).
Rusting was a serious problem, but in my humble opinion, the only
serious problem from which the car suffered. All the rest were
over-exaggerated.
