Alfa Romeo 156 Saloon 2.0 JTS Lusso 4d (2003/03) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Well equipped, but depreciation high.
Costs
Thirsty round town, which is where I do most of my driving. Bought brand new, no servicing costs yet.

On the road
Driving
Maybe too powerful, but don't always find it easy to drive.
Performance
But see driving above.
-
Living with it
Reliability
Has been on the whole reliable, although problems with cruise control which cuts out occasionally for no reason - dealers unable to fix. Also day/date display has mysteriously jumped: now showing 1 more day (but not date) than it actually is.

Security and Service
Service
First time I looked at a 156, salesman said to come back 'when you win the Lottery'. On the whole, the attitude of both Alfa and the dealers leaves a lot to be desired.
