Oi šitais labs sarakstiņš.
Saraksts ar lietām, kas bija Alfasud'a, bet nebija citiem 1972. gada automobiļiem:
* Front wheel drive,
* oversquare (big bore, small stroke) Boxer-engine, very free rewing, low noise, vibration free, low center of gravity,
* belt-driven overhead camshafts,
* easy adjustment of valve clearance due to ingenious simple adjusting mechanism,
* electrical radiator fan, saves fuel and does not "eat" engine power,
* big disc-brakes at the front, mounted in-board to reduce the unsprung weight,
* disc-brakes at the rear (only available in very expensive big cars at that time),
* parking brake at the front, gives better performance as emergency brake,
* dual circuit brakes with two circuits to the front brakes (only Volvo and Rolls-Royce had this),
* load sensing brake proportioning valve at the rear,
* userfriendly engine compartment with starter and generator on top of the engine,
* adjustable steering wheel,
* adjustable hight and angle of front seats (with spacers),
* very space-efficient body, only 3,9 m long and carries four 1,90 m long adults and their baggage.
* heating system with hot / cold airmix instead of hot water tap,
* all functions (lights, wiper / washer and fan) combined in two steering column switches,
* low drag co-efficient (Cd) for that time, Cd 0,40 for the 4-door and 0,39 for the ti-models with spoilers,
* double wall between the engine and passenger compartment, meaning low noise in the interior,
* one of the first cars (if not the first at all) with petrol tank below the rear seat (safe and space-efficient place),
* rear suspension: light live axle with Watt-linkages in each side and built in roll stabilising function,
* front suspension: McPherson with very strong longitudinal reaction arm (where other cars keep the frontwheels in position by the roll-bar) together with negativ camber inclination this gives a very precise steering,
* one of the first cars with "low profile tyres" (165 / 70 13),
* exceptional good road holding, thanks to a low center of gravity, precise wheel allignment and right wheel inclination (negativ camber at the front, zero at the rear),
* five-speed gearbox (except for the early base models),
