1999 Alfa Romeo 156 V6 review from UK and Ireland
"Over-rated, but pretty to look at"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Bottoms-out on undulating surfaces.
Poor ride - the consequence of a Veloce pack with lowered suspension perhaps.
Electrical faults - minor and various.
Irritating buzzing from dashboard - not fixed.
General comments?
Oddly un-exciting.
Very heavy on fuel - 24mpg overall at very best.
Heavy on front tyres - 10,000 miles and £150 each!
Comfortable, well-equipped and refined - apart from the poor ride.
