(26 reviews)Alfa Romeo... just saying the name brings back memories of my gorgeous red 156 2.0 TS. That car is just so beautifyl to look at, it handles well (for its size) and is reasonably fast compared to its class mates. Build quality was better than i feared, but i did have my garage visits, but all was covered on the warranty, and it was always stupid things like the airbag light that turned on for no reason. The engine worked flawlessly and with the italian stainless steel full exhaust and cat-back system it sounded awesome!
Mine was a 2.0 Selespeed model. Great looking, inside and out, decent handling and the engine sounded great. Performance was decent for a 2.0. However, the Selespeed box had constant problems, and the cambelt snapped at 18,000 miles, wrecking the engine. And Alfa dealers at the time were terrible (I've heard they're better but I doubt it).
A car built with soul and passion (quoting top gear). It's a great car. It handles really well. It has a suffice amount of power for a everyday use car ( around 190 bhp, 2.5 v6). I think it looks good aswell, it's not one of those tuned cars and it doesnt look like it came out of a video game. It has a nice wooden interior. It really is a petrolheads car, you enjoy every bend and bump in the road. The suspension is firm and sporty and yet quite soft and comfortable. The build quality varies. The engine and such (important mechanical parts) are well made, but the dashboard and glovebox are awfully plasticy. The a/c takes ages to cool or heat the car. The CD player is broken and the radio isn't great. Infact it looses every single channel and playes static if you connect the rear window heater. Some squeaks and rattles here and there. the front right suspencion squeaks alot when it's cold outside. It drinks about 11l/100km if you drive normally, but I estimated it can go up to 17-18l/100km if you have fun while driving. I think it's a great car! It's fun to drive around in it. You don't have to drive to the fun, you have fun driving!
I have owned and raced this car for last 8 years or so, crashed it, blown engines and even finished some races, but most of all its a really great car to drive and in terms of power to weight its fantastic!
Bloody good fun & cheap as chips! Getting a bit tired now though I guess. Alfa have replaced it with the 159. It is a bit thirsty but that might just be my right foot! I expect that the diesel is cheaper to run but I'm a petrol head so...
