A few people i know have had problems with these and other Alfas, they seem to be unreliable. A 156 spent more time being repaired in the first 6 mths of its life then it spent on the road. Was replaced though by Alfa. May be a one off but still have a bad reputation.

And search for the car and the reviews tell you of problems that are common with them. Saying that my mate bought one over 6months ago and has never had to have it in a garage and he uses it every day to commute 25 miles to work and at weekends to travel all over the country.

I had an Alfa 146 TSpark from new as a company motor years ago.

Chose over boring Fords and Vauxhalls. I only had it for a short time but it was a fantastic car.

The engine in the Alfas if you get that particular engine is superb. It is so responsive and sounds wonderful.

I thought the build quality was much better than expected knowing the ruputation of Alfas in the past.

I would say go for it if you like motoring.

Sorry I can't comment on faults.
