1996 Alfa Romeo 155 V6 Sportpack review from UK and Ireland
"A four door saloon on steroids"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear section of exhaust needed replacing at 96K.
New set of front tyres at 96K - 155's eat front tyres when driven hard!
Sunroof need re-aligning at 95K.
General comments?
The 155 is a true driver's car. The performance is awesome, and the handling defies the laws of physics.
The Alfa Romeo ethos of "Cuore Sportivo" (Sporting Heart) is embodied in the 155. True Italian style.
More individualistic and charismatic than the obvious German choices.
There are a few creaks and rattles, but driving a 155 is so much fun that you forget all about them.
Sports suspension is a little on the hard side, but then you can't have it all ways.
