2000 Alfa Romeo 156 Twin Spark S1 review from UK and Ireland
"Brilliant car that cannot be ignored at import prices!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Sticky switch for the air-con system.
General comments?
Absolutely superb driver's car that feels solid and well built. The engine loosened up at around 6000 miles and performance improved noticeably. I cannot recommend this car highly enough - drives and looks brilliant.
I do worry about something major going wrong although this is based more on reputation than evidence. The only disappointments have been the lack of practicality (ie. cramped rear seats that do not fold) and fuel consumption (although this varies dramatically with driving style).
