2005 Alfa Romeo 156 TS review from UK and Ireland
"Flawed beauty"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Long running nightmare with immobilzer that would not disengage.
General comments?
Whenever I drive another car, I appreciate the handling of the Alfa. I want to love the car, but the unreliability combined with terrible (and expensive)dealer service means that I will now replace it with a VW.
