1999 Alfa Romeo 156 Twin Spark review from UK and Ireland
"The worst car ever imaginable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The exhaust started to blow as soon as I drove the car home.
The gearbox needed replacing after I had done only fifty miles.
The clutch kept sticking.
It leaked oil.
The brakes wore badly and quickly.
General comments?
This was an awful car and I put 1000 miles on the clock because it was so bad.
The leather seats were very uncomfortable and felt like plastic.
The gear box crunched every time I changed gear.
The dashboard is very tacky and cheap looking.
The car was not as I expected.
My 10 year old Cavalier was so much better than this and I am going to buy a newer Cavalier as soon as possible.
