2001 Alfa Romeo 156 ts veloce review from UK and Ireland
"I need to get rid and buy a VW!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Head Gasket blew 2 months after purchasing this car! Worst car experience ever, this has ultimately put me off for life.
Guzzles oil incredibly, up to now have used 3 litres in the last 3 months!
I hardly ever check my mini Mirca!
General comments?
Noticed suspension has started to make a whole host of squeaking noises!
Brakes/clutch are on their way, bearing in mind only had it recently serviced!
Apart from the bling appearance and plush interior, they are proving to be all looks and class with no real backbone!
