2000 Alfa Romeo 156 Standard review from UK and Ireland
"Italian styling, great performance"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Leak from the steering rack. The dealer replaced it, but it took six weeks to get the part.
General comments?
Terrific power. No lag. With four people + luggage it still pulls 120mph+ UP hills!
Seat doesn't go back far enough and not enough thigh support, however I am 6' 2".
Fantastic styling, turns heads even from BMW drivers!
Can bottom out on some road bumps when fully loaded, however look underneath and you see the engine is slung very low.
Great handling, has the right blend of being just soft enough for good comfort without the 'jarring' you get on a sports set-up.
