2003 Alfa Romeo 156 sportwagon 2.0 JTS

Summary:

The best car I've owned

Faults:

Would not change gear. This was apparently a loose connection which the dealer said could have been instigated during the previous service.

General Comments:

A real pleasure to drive. By far the best vehicle I've driven.

Love the selespeed which I use mainly in city mode which I override where necessary. It is very good at judging how you want to drive the car at any given time. I could not buy another car without the "paddles" on the steering wheel to change gear.

The car has been very reliable and I have nothing to be fixed at each service. Unlike other so-called reliable cars I've owned. Just what is in the book. Alfas (if mine is any indication) are very reliable and all the bad stories about them are myths.

And then of course there is that beautiful body.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
