i cant understand why you fight especialy when nobody had italian car before 2000. i had 2 alfa 1 fiat and 1 lancia. Most beautifull cars EVER but with major problems in the electric systems. Both alfa after 3 years the light on the dushboard were history. Lancia Y caught fire when i was driving.
Everybody says that from 2000 these problems are history but i was to tiered from all the problems and 2005 i bought opel and i understand the different and now with a golf and i enjoy every minute
ITS TRUE..ALL ALFA OWNER DRIVERS UPLOAD HERE ON YOUTUBE..YOUR THE ONLY PERSON WHO INSIST HE DRIVES ALFA ..BUT...

CLOWN...WITH PENIL DISSFUNCTION...WATCH OUT BOYS!!
Gta is a engineering masterpiece,ex Ferrari engineer Busso's V6 is pure art, but the Twinsparks are real gem's too and return 30mpg, 60 in 8.3 sec and the best part is the sound, the V6 is very Ferrari like, but the 2.0ltr twincam twinnys when on cam sound so raspy and will howl like a metallic werewolf, engines are not vocal like this anymore, a real shame...Forza Alfa
Problem with Alfa's is the owners who thrash the twincams at every oppotunity and
skip or skimp on the servicing cost and then complain when things go wrong, well the twincams are all top end power 2500 to 6500rpm, to drive at a sporting pace without fear of impunity servicing is vital, just renew 5w/40 synthetic oil and filter every 6 months, cam belts every 3 years or 36000miles and thats all it takes to keep it in tip top condition.Oil changes 10 mins as filter is very well positioned
Other cars break down a lot due to minor problems. When Alfa's break down they do so with a bang! The problem isn't the car though, it's what lies between the steering wheel and the chair. Look after your car like you look after your woman - keep her clean, greased up, and ride her hard every now and then. The grille isn't just for show, you know!
whereas cars and their reliability have changed a lot during the last decades, the stereotypes haven't. sad thing is, that stereotypes make up a lot of resale value.
1 gearbox 2 actuators 1 bottomn end rebuild and now a new engine. When its off the road i buy a cheep euro box off ebay and throw it away as soon as the alfa is fixed. I love my Alfa
i own a 156 since 1999, 220'000 km and i did never have any major problem with it!! im still using it everyday!! :D alfas breaking down is just a metropolitan legend!! in the other hand some friends of mine own audi and they pass half of their free time going to the garage reparing them!!
There are lots in England that are lying around unsold, as know one wants them
I have decided to use mine for banger racing, as have given up trying to sell it, maybe a way to recoup some money from the repairs these junk constantly need
I was shocked to see so many alfa's been used for banger racing:) I s'pose if you can't sell them thrash the heap of junk:)lol
Would you like to sell or buy this car? Looking for some info about it? Or maybe just bought one? So share your happiness or experiance about it with all of us ;) Create fanclubs, upload pictures, videos, ask for some help about your car if it's something wrong with it.
@MilitantOldLady - those who slate the brand have either A) Never driven an Alfa, or B) had a one but never looked after the car properly.
These are not Vauxhall's, etc. These are cars for people that know cars and how to handle them and look after them properly. If you're looking for a car with no character, stick to your Chavstras, boring Focus' and drug dealers / wannabe gangsters favourite of BMW 3 Series.
not a bad car really, they do breakdown but major reason are often cheap owners using 2nd rate "original" parts. You must either know the stuff yourself or have a good alfa specialist nearby. MIlitantOldLady , the pre -00 156's had a LOT of problems. TS engines being the worst ones. -01 Onwards they still had the occasional bearing issues on engines. And if you got a 2nd rate "original" cambelt kit fitted it wasnt rare for them to break, bad bearings on some. V6 more reliable.
Handling needs improvement but its well worth it and only needs decent shock. As for not fast for petrolheads?? It can do 0-60 in 6 sec,s! and it tops out (Restricted) 155mph. I will never sell mine because its so much better to drive than a BMW or audi that are v good cars but souless!
How strange that experts say that they are always breaking down, and according to JDPOWERS the majority of owners of alfa's claim that they are always breaking down:)lol seems your the only who thinks different:()
me thinks its all porkie pies you are talking militantlady:)lol
omg i have one now and i cant even make the 10k's service without the car breaking down. i almost replaced everything and its just falling apart. i luv the car but its not worth keeping it if it does not stop breaking down. next owner would be very lucky not too sure if i will sell it or keep it. spent so much money on it already fixing or i should say replacing parts, new actuator, cat converter, pumps, o2 abs sensors list goes on
Well then you have been lucky. Just take a look at the reliability statistics around.
I can find the first 5 statistics within 10 seconds, where the Alfa 156 is on one of the 5 last places when it comes to reliability. (Just take a look at for example the statistics from the german ADAC).
i dont believe such statistics...people are often idiots, at my local Alfa dealership where mine is servised, the mechanic told me 9 times out of 10 its the owners fault, mostly people dont even change the engine oil or simple things like that or just plain neglect the cars
Well - to a certain extent I agree. But I would think that in general Alfa owners do care more about their cars than for example Hyundai drivers, for whom its "just a car to transport you from A to B". And in the statistics the owners of the other car brands are just as or even more negligent when it comes to maintaining the car. In general I would say that statistics do not lie.
@KillerHOS1q2w3e ; Alfa is a sporting brand and owners will squeeze every
sinue of performance from their engines that means using full revs, alfa's do get
hammered and that puts a strain on parts, so yes they do need maintenance to
get the best from them, my Alfa's have cost no more to own than my previous Audi's which are also performance family cars, worth every penny...Forza Alfa
@MilitantOldLady Hey bro, how much money do you pay for the service? I mean if it needs to change anything every time it needs to be serviced, like oil, sparks etc.
the ignition plate replacement was still under warranty, so thank god, it would have been nearly 500€ plus labor because they had to take the whole engine head apart....otherwise, its 100 bucks total, depending on the garage you go to...2 cans of oil are pretty cheap depending on which brand you take, never more than 25€ a piece...you dont have to change spark plugs, oil filters are also cheap, 10€ mostly...the really pricey thing are tires...you can spend a lot on those
essentially, yes....unless the thing breaks down, you shuldnt spend much on it...annual oil change (oil & filters)...depending where you live, winter tire change...dont worry, you dont have to rebuild the engine every 12 months :D
i just noticed you're from Greece...no offense, but you miiiiight have a hard time finding a second hand 156 in good condition...at least that's what i've seen when i was there on holiday :D
This car is pure beauty...i used to see a lot of them but i didn't payed attention to it...but when i started to look closer i realized the car is just stunning...i am completely in love with it...i want to buy one ...the shapes,lines of it are pure genius...i have no words to describe how much i like it :D...just amazing
they are reliable in their own legue,and more reliable than 166,i had one a year ago,and it was fantastic,all i hawe changed is the brake discs and calipers,and thats all
I sold my 156 1.9 JTD a few months ago, bought it new in 2000 (the pre-facelift one, looks best imo) and had few problems, most of them in its early years so still under warranty. The only major problem I ever had was caused by a software glitch related to the fuel pumps, which sometimes made the car stall out.. twice on the freeway and in dense traffic, tense moments.. It would restart a few secs later, though.
It's ok. Owned one for just over a year now. Starter motor had gone the fuel guage dosn't read right and the bulb on the speedo keeps going. Would I get rid of it? Hell no! Best car I have ever had the pleasure to drive. Plenty of torque and sticks to the road like glue!
I Have an Alfa Romeo 155 - 8v classic engine tuned year 1993 model, its still near me in my basement till now!, when I pass near it I always take 10mins steering at it! & look the engine view :)
fuck GERMAN A.D.A.C. I Owned a lot of alfas and they do not break down, and even if they did I would still drive it before vw, audi etc.
But if you are 65 years old, and you have just retired, then German car is the one to own, so, have a sit in your Golf and go fuck yourself. Btw. there are a lot of wv videos on Ytube so check them out, but no...you typed Alfa...I wonder why....
@CeznemDaTeZeznem ; I used to buy audi's in the nineties and they were good.
but the last 10 years i've owned alfa's and like yours mine have been faultless.
I have a metallic red 2000yr 2.0ltr twinspark sportwagon which i've owned last 4yrs it looks and drive like new, uses no oil like some, all electrics work. I have a red GTV 2.0ltr t.s and owned it 7 months and so far no issues.. so much better
looking than other cars and that twincam howls when on cam, fantastic...
some italian cars depreciate too much compared to their real value. Look at the alfa 155 : in France you can get it with the 166 hp v6 and 110 mkm only for 2000e ($2500-3000). Where else can you get such an awesome car at such a price ?!
If you buy a car thinking about selling it you're just wrong.. people who has bought a brand new 159 jts or a 147 ducati corse don´t give a damn about the after price nothing last's forever just the pleasure of driving such a tasty car
Listen Ratbrain!! Your mother must have depreciated at a massive rate because your rubbish. Go and fuck your rats in your shitty golf!!! Italian cars RULE!!!!
Never left me stranded. Yes, like every other car I,ve owned, things go wrong once in a while, but no more than any other car. The FWD handling is well controlled but understeers if you floor it in a corner (duh) but when a Q2 diff is fitted, the car puts the power down very sweetly.
Look for a well looked after example and check it's had cambelt change and preferably with the Q2 limited slip diff fitted (only 500 GBP to fit). :-)
bxlnord,u bought a used alfa.... used and abused.... with how many km??? and for the bmw with 240000km no problem?? cmn now ,you are not been strait now.
Learn how to read you idiot,i stated "Brand new" as in strait from the factory to the dealer and from there out in my garage...always caused me troubles and eventually i needed a rebuild engine cuz my crankshaft broke,and yes mr turbostar my 328 is holding up and has now about 275.000 km on it still drives flawless,well i did had to change a mirror thanks to my visit to Paris 2 months ago,look i don't dislike italians or anything i fact i prefer them over germans but carwise....NO MORE!
i cant wait for the 159 gta to come out! i've already started saving my cash for it, as alfa won't come to my country (usa) until at least 2011. when they come, they've got my money!
First you said that all italian cars are crap and only german cars are worthly, hencefore expensive.Then You said that Ferrari cars are ridiculous in britain because of the weather, THEN because made for showing off the +300 Bhp.What about the german porsche cayenne turbos,Brabuses,AMGs,M5,all +450bhp AND surely not made to let people drive unnoticed,are them all crap too?Dear Sir,your logic is utterly inconsistent.You speak only with spite.For the record,since you rised the issue,my IQ's133.
Omg you never drove a Ferrari, otherwise, you would write this crap. Grow up, kid, German cars are not bad, but Ferrari is Ferrari. No german car can compete with it.
Well he has a point,few years back i bought a brand new GTV and from the start i always had troubles with it,i'm not talking about minor flaws here,i'm talking serious things (ever had a crankshaft broken?? very expensive....i'm not beieng funny)
Now i have a BMW 328 which i bought used and it has almost 240.000km on it never had a single problem with it..it never let me down.
I did like the alfa better in terms of design but when we talk reliability....sorry no more italian cars for me..
So,because of the british weather all Ferrari are crap.Britain makes MG,Lotus,Caterham,TVR,Ariel,Morgan,Westfield and many other exoteric supercars.But you laugh only at Ferrari's owners because the car is italian. Yesterday I thought that some italian guy must have screwed your girfriend.Now I see that you can't possibly have one. The only suitable vehicle for you is an ambulance. Keep laughing, somebody will take care of you.
:)Because your IQ is so low,you failed to pick up on my comment, that road cars, with 300plus bhp are for idiots:) there is nothing more stupid than to see a car with that power, with some idiot, who's only reason to have it, is to pose:)lol and believe me, it is hilarious:)
I guess its really for people like you, who possess very low IQs:)mwa
Oh,always stereotypes against italians.pity that one brand makes the WHOLE F1 winning car.One european brand makes a GP winning bike.Both are italian.The Arna was crap.The8C awesome.Both italians.Some old Rovers were crap,the Lotus Elise is wonderful (I have one).All british.The first Class A was dangerous.Some old 911 was undrivable,BMW Z8 also.But so many german cars are beautiful,well engineered and even funny(see the Weissmann!)It is the car that matters,not the flag.Alfas are good cars now
:)ferrari in the present climate is embarassing. and they are crap and unreliable
These cars are for the braindead, with to much money
In England we laugh at people who drive ferrari's:)lol because they look so damn stupid, sittin there on 400 plus bhp, and unable to use it, sooo sooooo stupid:)lol
i've been to the uk, plenty of alfa's on the roads.. and if you don't like'em that's your problem but you look like a lifeless immature git spamming all these alfa vids...
Dude..... Germans can't even breathe on Alfa Romeo -.- FIAT owns Alfa Romeo and no one owns FIAT..... BTW if you think by owned i mean pwned i mean like FIAT purchased Alfa Romeo.
Please don't compare a lowclass inferior italian badly built junkheap, to immaculate german engineering, there is no comparison, Bmw's outclass any italian or french car by miles:)
Alfa's tinny junk that always break down, thats why they never sell, no one wants to waste there money on rubbish:)lol
You seem to have made a career out of slagging anything connected with italy, ratbrain. What's wrong...don't you have anything better to do with your dirty unemployed ass?
The Finest Magnificent Italian Art. Yes, for me it was love at first sight.
You just have to look that car and listen those V6 engine sounds and suddenly world looks so much brighter and sunnier.

@MilitantOldLady
Well then you have been lucky. Just take a look at the reliability statistics around.
I can find the first 5 statistics within 10 seconds, where the Alfa 156 is on one of the 5 last places when it comes to reliability. (Just take a look at for example the statistics from the german ADAC).
KillerHOS1q2w3e 1 year ago
@KillerHOS1q2w3e
i dont believe such statistics...people are often idiots, at my local Alfa dealership where mine is servised, the mechanic told me 9 times out of 10 its the owners fault, mostly people dont even change the engine oil or simple things like that or just plain neglect the cars
MilitantOldLady 1 year ago
@MilitantOldLady
Well - to a certain extent I agree. But I would think that in general Alfa owners do care more about their cars than for example Hyundai drivers, for whom its "just a car to transport you from A to B". And in the statistics the owners of the other car brands are just as or even more negligent when it comes to maintaining the car. In general I would say that statistics do not lie.
KillerHOS1q2w3e 1 year ago
@KillerHOS1q2w3e ; Alfa is a sporting brand and owners will squeeze every
sinue of performance from their engines that means using full revs, alfa's do get
hammered and that puts a strain on parts, so yes they do need maintenance to
get the best from them, my Alfa's have cost no more to own than my previous Audi's which are also performance family cars, worth every penny...Forza Alfa

@MilitantOldLady ; I agree with your comments, if serviced on time alfa's are just
as reliable as the german brands, in fact my Alfa's have cost slightly less to run
than my previous Audi's ( 80, coupe S2, early A4), now 156 sportwagon and GTV.
Both 2.0ltr twinnys and very rev happy.....forza Alfa
alfistii1 1 year ago
@MilitantOldLady Hey bro, how much money do you pay for the service? I mean if it needs to change anything every time it needs to be serviced, like oil, sparks etc.
GamerAndReviewer 6 months ago
@GamerAndReviewer
the ignition plate replacement was still under warranty, so thank god, it would have been nearly 500€ plus labor because they had to take the whole engine head apart....otherwise, its 100 bucks total, depending on the garage you go to...2 cans of oil are pretty cheap depending on which brand you take, never more than 25€ a piece...you dont have to change spark plugs, oil filters are also cheap, 10€ mostly...the really pricey thing are tires...you can spend a lot on those
MilitantOldLady 6 months ago
@MilitantOldLady So in conclusion, this car needs very few money at maintenance, right?
GamerAndReviewer 6 months ago
@GamerAndReviewer
essentially, yes....unless the thing breaks down, you shuldnt spend much on it...annual oil change (oil & filters)...depending where you live, winter tire change...dont worry, you dont have to rebuild the engine every 12 months :D

I sold my 156 1.9 JTD a few months ago, bought it new in 2000 (the pre-facelift one, looks best imo) and had few problems, most of them in its early years so still under warranty. The only major problem I ever had was caused by a software glitch related to the fuel pumps, which sometimes made the car stall out.. twice on the freeway and in dense traffic, tense moments.. It would restart a few secs later, though.

Never left me stranded. Yes, like every other car I,ve owned, things go wrong once in a while, but no more than any other car. The FWD handling is well controlled but understeers if you floor it in a corner (duh) but when a Q2 diff is fitted, the car puts the power down very sweetly.
Look for a well looked after example and check it's had cambelt change and preferably with the Q2 limited slip diff fitted (only 500 GBP to fit). :-)
