2000 Alfa Romeo 156 2.0litre TS Selespeed review from UK and Ireland
"I hope it still makes me smile in a years time"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Selespeed has gone back on a recall and now changes down in to first a little too late for my liking. It is actually a little dangerous at some roundabouts.
The paint on the alloy wheels is starting to flake.
I think I have a wheel bearing rumbling, but the dealer says it cannot find any fault!
General comments?
This is the most fun I have had driving a car since I owned my last Yank Muscle Car (A Dodge Demon 440).
I find the seats a little uncomfortable on long drives, but this has only shown up since getting stuck on the M25 for 4 hours!
Build quality is a little suspect, but what the hell! Handles like a Caterham 7 and is quick enough for East London/Essex.
