Alfa Romeo 156 2.0 JTS

...heart and soul of an Alfa is not a diesel unit and never will be. The 2.0 JTS is a work of art, pumping out 178 Bhp and willing to rev round the clock if desired, which is frequently when I go out. The engine has that beautiful Alfa rip and burble when getting the foot into the pedal it is difficult holding back a smile driving down the country lanes, where the car is very much at home. I can't fault the handling, the turning circle is not too great ...
...away with a small opening for the water, I use a funnel. My previous experience of Italian machinery was with Ducati and Moto Guzzi motorcycles, lots of heart, style and charisma. The Alfa is the same. I love it, my wife and kids love it, what else can I say. ...

Review of Alfa Romeo 156 2.0 JTS

I bought my Alfa 3 years ago and one thing has never changed - I love the design and feel of the 156! That's what this car is all about. Everyone knows that Alfa's reputation for reliability is not exactly up there with the Japanese cars! However, if anyone tells you that they don't like the look of a 156 then they must be lying! I still look at my car on the drive and feel proud to own it and people are always commenting on how nice it is. OK. ...
...the service costs. Getting an alfa serviced by a dealer means paying alfa mechanics and that is never cheap. Add in a couple of brake pads, a new tyre or two and your service is at the £500 mark without trying. In summary, if you want a sensible, reliable and cheap car then you're in the wrong section! If you want something different that you'll love like a child then go take a test drive!!! ...
