1999 Alfa Romeo 156 2.0TS review from UK and Ireland
"It makes everything else just seem ordinary"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
It had the wrong speed rated tyres fitted, but the dealer replaced them as soon as he was aware of it.
General comments?
Great car, loves to be driven either in a straight line or around the twisty stuff.
Cabin is comfortable, but if I had my time again I'd look for one with leather trim.
Cabin space is big enough without being massive or claustrophobic.
Boot isn't as big as you might imagine.
23 miles per gallon is all I get around town, but out of town 40 miles per gallon is achievable.
