The Alfa Itch - Who Has Scratched It ?

[MondeoMan1981]

Starting to look at getting a new car...

Lots of nice 156s coming up in my price range... From W/X 2.5 V6 models down to 2004 facelift 2.0s. Nice looking cars, nice inside and in 2.5 V6 form must have a cracking soundtrack as well...

How reliable are they ?

I know from on here they are sensitive to oil levels and a full history with belts being done is a must.

Chap in work had a 2001 or 2002 2.0 and he ran it for 3 years with little issue other than consumables...
