2003 Alfa Romeo 156 Twin Spark Veloce review from UK and Ireland
"Italian panache and racing performance"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Headlight bulb fused.
Suspension was steering the car away. Changed both sides top suspension arms. Now better.
General comments?
After owning a Peugeot, this one is real transformer.
Although only a 1.6, one should never underestimate the Alfa Race bred reputation. Very impressive performance; they are real sports cars on normal roads.
Like that growling noise/sound when in lower gears.
Enjoy driving around roundabouts.
The car is really punchy even at the top end. You can imagine if I can challenge a racing motorbike on the highway.
No major problems so far, as only owned last few months.
Above all, it looks gorgeous with the dials lit and with curves all over.
