2001 Alfa Romeo 156 Selespeed review from Australia and New Zealand
"Sensational.."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Only problem which occurred on one drive was that when shifting gears up in either city or manual mode, the car would not go into 4th gear, but rather skip the fourth gear when either up shifting or downshifting. It jumps from 3rd to 5th and vice versa.
Apart from that only problem which occurred once so far since I bought the car, nothing else has happened.
General comments?
Everything is awesome with the car, it has the best performance in all the cars I have driven, the best handling, awesome comfort and drive.
I would always buy and keep my Alfa and any other Alfa, because it is just so awesome... Only thing I would just make sure the gearbox is working good...
It also has real good fuel consumption and goes as hard as a Ferrari...
