2001 Alfa Romeo 156 SW review from Netherlands
"A super driving machine"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Since the very beginning of this driving machine, bulbs burned through all the time.
After a year or so the well-known beeps and trembles occurred more and more.
There were no Alfa-related problems as electrical/electronic disease or something like that.
The only strange problems that occurred where disabled chair cushions and side walls, that has to be repaired for 2 times already.
As I already wrote it is a super driving machine with very little fuel (Diesel) consumption and (till now with 155000 km) still fast and reliable.
General comments?
If this car wasn't so expensive in lease I would drive e new version as my new car.
