1996 Alfa Romeo 155 TS review from UK and Ireland
"If everybody in the world drove a 155, the world would be a happier place"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Passenger wing mirror alloy split - fixed with metal glue.
General comments?
Absolutely love it. First, don't go to dealerships for servicing any Alfa, go to specialists.
Lots of stuff to do to it when I bought it, but now that it's done she is humming.
The whole experience is great. I love the lines of the body and the exhaust note is fantastic, it growls and growls for more revs.
This car was built to be driven, and driven hard and fast. Steering is very direct, although the turning circle is poor. That and the suspension are my only faults with the car, the slightest bump in the road is heard and felt. Otherwise she is a performance car bargain.
However I would advise only enthusiasts buy one because you will spend some time under it, so if you don't mind getting your hands dirty, go for it.
