1995 Alfa Romeo 155 V6 2.5 V6

Summary:

A driver's car to stir the soul

Faults:

Water leak into the interior by the fusebox.

Air con has never worked.

Leaking seals.

General Comments:

A wonderful car for the money, the world's best V6 engine with a glorious wail when pressing on. Razor sharp steering with confidence inspiring handling, good brakes. Great fun when pricking the egos of smug BMW drivers (why are they like that?). A car for those who understand what Italian cars are all about, forza Alfa!

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

1995 Alfa Romeo 155 TS 2.0 16v petrol

Faults:

Drive belt for counter rotating balancer shaft broke (but car still worked fine!)

New Alternator.

Intermittent problem with brief power loss (yet to be fixed).

General Comments:

Great car to drive, a bit rattly especially on poor roads. Looks great. Obscure electrical quirks a bit annoying. Handling is excellent.

Overall it's never left me on the side of the road, but I have cursed at it a few times.
