Good Points

Good Ride - Reliable - Well put together - Frugal on petrol - Sharp cornering - Very pleasing to drive - Even 1.6 feels sporty and has good excelleration - Looks the business compared to a Mondeo or Vectra - Not boring like a BMW - Lovely Leather seats - Feel a Million dollars behind the Wheel - Lovely Italian design - Other drivers envy - Cheap to buy -


Bad Points

Climate control has to set just right a fraction out and it mists up - Fuel filler body cap can snap if you push against it - The front inner valance is not galvanised metal and not covered by dealer warranty -


General Comments

I purchased a low milage 156 Veloce 1.6 with leather seats four door in red 2 years ago - Absolutley no reliability problems what so ever - Just servicing only and new tyres - The Alfa Romeo 1.6 drives superbly and a full factory body kit on a 1.6 is excellent - A good size boot - Always used independant garages because they are cheaper on labour costs - Oil consumption is high though they recommend 1 litre per 1000 miles - My 156 is faultless - Alfa deserve so much better with UK sales because they make a brilliant car in the 156
