2003 Alfa Romeo 156 2.0 TS review from El Salvador
"Great looking... Great performer"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing so far.
General comments?
Great car, love the way it handles even though a bit stiff for city driving in country highways is a delight.
Love the red lighting on the dashboard at night and the way the whole interior is totally coordinated.
The Bose stereo system is very good and upgrades are not necessary.
Build quality has greatly improved over my previous Alfa, a 33S16V, which I loved until the day I trade it for this one.
The car is fairly new so there are no glitches yet, but for what can be predicted, will have no problems with it for the next few years. At last, an Alfa that can play with BMW head to head and beat it in certain areas.
