Drivers door handle button jammed in.
Rear wheel bearings failed and started knocking loudly.
Rattle in the roof from the rear courtesy light.
Great car. Full of Italian style. Prettiest saloon available.
Reliability was a worry, but has turned out to be better than my last VW Golf.
Recaro seats are poor with all your weight through your bottom and not spread through your thighs. Spoils an otherwise excellent long distance car.
Engine has excellent top end but poor low torque. Town driving a bit of a pain with mucho clutch slip needed.
Seems to be an ongoing problem with the comfort of the 156. I've had mine for 2000km and only make short trips. My butt and back are copping a pounding.
If you crank the seating position way up high you get a little relief. Wonder if it's possible to swap the seats for something tighter?
