1999 Alfa Romeo 156 Twin Spark S1 review from UK and Ireland
"Stunning, but costly"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Petrol consumption is very high (20-25mpg).
Suspension creaks and bangs.
Gear box crunches.
New tires, pads and discs all round.
General comments?
A stunningly beautiful car that is a pleasure to own and drive.
I absolutely love it, but the mpg and problems are too costly.
