Areas for improvement: Poor customer service from Alfa UK
Car spent 3 months of the road because Alfa UK could not get the replacement parts from Italy, because the factory was allocating all parts for production lines. Alfa UK did nothing to help neither did the factory's customer dept in Italy who ignored all my pleas for help.Leather seating is splitting and thread is coming undone.
Looks lovely, drives wonderfully and seduces wonderfully on the test drive.
After 5,000 miles that is when your problems start. A lovely car let down by atrocious unreliability, a manufacturer that gives little attention to its customers.
I've spent so much money now on the car that I've given up with the brand. Its sad, but I want to sell the car and buy a reliable Japanese motor instead.
The running costs for Alfa Romeo 156 1.9 are normal
nice design and very fast car but not so reliable
extremly good traction and handling very bad on bad roads - italian cars are too sensitive for that
decent equipment See full review
The running costs for Alfa Romeo 156 1.8 are high
