The Alfa Romeo Sprint, produced from 1983 to 1989, was a compact hatchback that represented a departure from Alfa Romeo's traditional sports car image. It was designed by Giugiaro, known for his sleek and modern aesthetic, and featured sharp, angular lines with a distinctive sloping roofline. The Sprint shared its platform with the larger Alfasud, but it was significantly lighter and more agile. The Sprint was available with various engines, including a 1.3-liter, a 1.5-liter, and a 1.7-liter four-cylinder, all featuring a distinctive "boxer" configuration where the cylinders lay horizontally opposed. These engines, combined with the Sprint's lightweight construction, resulted in a car that was known for its lively performance and handling. They also came equipped with a variety of options, including a 5-speed manual transmission, a 3-speed automatic transmission, air conditioning, and power steering. While the Sprint was initially praised for its stylish design, sporty handling, and relatively affordable price, it also faced criticism for its build quality and reliability, issues that plagued the Alfasud platform. Over time, the Sprint developed a reputation for rust, electrical problems, and engine issues. Despite these setbacks, the Sprint remains a popular choice among classic car enthusiasts, particularly those seeking a sporty and stylish European hatchback. The 1985 model year, specifically, is often considered a desirable version due to its refined styling and improved engine options. The 1985 Alfa Romeo Sprint Workshop Manual, a comprehensive guide to repairing and maintaining this iconic car, serves as an essential resource for owners and enthusiasts alike, providing detailed instructions and diagrams to ensure the longevity and performance of this Italian classic.
