2003 Alfa Romeo 156 Veloce review from UK and Ireland
"Great looking car; look after it and it looks after you, while everyone else simply looks at it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
A failed auxiliary tensioner, but it was on the car at 60k and about due for replacement anyway.
General comments?
The engine pulls very well at all speeds.
The handling is good, but not superb as some Alfa owners would lead you to believe.
Interior is a lovely place to be as a driver.
