1999 Alfa Romeo 156 Selespeed review from UK and Ireland
"I look forward to getting in this car every day"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Faulty RH side door speaker.
Selespeed buzzer stopped working.
General comments?
Superb design, performs as well as Mondeo V6 (previous car). Handling is awesome.
Recaro seats are hard although you do get used to them! Selespeed box is great fun - ignore the cynics.
Only gripe is the Selespeed buzzer stopped working, this is covered by the year 2 warranty, however I was charged 2 hours labour (£100) for diagnostic time - this never used to happen at Ford dealerships!
Nb. If you buy an import, the local dealer is unlikely to give you free courtesy car if it's off the road!
