1999 Alfa Romeo 156 Sport review from Portugal
"It's one of a kind!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only problem was my fault.
The car had the oil warning light on, and still I drove for 300 Km at top speed because of the hurry. Result: a new engine.
General comments?
It's a real Alfa!
The handling is perfect, whether it's a motorway or a mountain road.
The performance, amazing for a 1.8 litre engine. Embarrassed most Mercedes, BMW's, VW's and Audi's.
Because it was the sport version and Alfa Red, it was a head-turner wherever I went.
I can't seem to remember any complain about this car.
Recommend it to anyone!
