1999 Alfa Romeo 156 Selespeed review from Malaysia
"Get one and you'll be thrilled"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Starter Issue, but a quick service cured the problem.
Gear Engagement Issue - resolved by rectification to the gearbox housing.
General comments?
Absolute a smashing car to drive.
Handling is good, but can still be improved with some modifications to the anti roll bars and stiffer suspension.
Air Conditioning is adequate, but wished they would have gone with the 166 design on the center air condition vents for better ventilation.
The design is timeless... very attractive and a head turner eventhough after 8 years in production.
