2001 Alfa Romeo 156 Selespeed 2.0 Twinspark from France
Summary:
An unforgettable driving experience
Faults:
Vibration in front at very low speed with cold engine.
Selespeed gearbox sometimes doesn't come back to first gear automatically.
Rear gear sometimes wouldn't engage without engaging first gear before.
General Comments:
A really great driving experience. Really great handling/steering. Very direct.
Twinspark engine is impressive. Smooth, great noise, great power.
Selespeed gearbox is really a must have when you get used to it. Would never trade mine for a manual gearbox.
Comfort is not so good, room is sparse, noise level is high, but the car looks so good and is so nice to drive that you forget all these details...
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I totally disagree. I got mines at 59K miles. I've done 16K miles so far and I've replaced the timing belt as you normally would at 72K miles, brake pads, Mass air sensor which was faulty from the moment I got the car. but that's it!.. everything else is perfect!
