2000 Alfa Romeo 156 review from UK and Ireland
"Style and class for Mondeo money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Drivers door handle button jammed in.
Rear wheel bearings failed and started knocking loudly.
Rattle in the roof from the rear courtesy light.
General comments?
Great car. Full of Italian style. Prettiest saloon available.
Reliability was a worry, but has turned out to be better than my last VW Golf.
Recaro seats are poor with all your weight through your bottom and not spread through your thighs. Spoils an otherwise excellent long distance car.
Engine has excellent top end but poor low torque. Town driving a bit of a pain with mucho clutch slip needed.
