I passed my driving test this year at the ripe old age of 39.... Immediately went and bought a Alfa Romeo Giulietta (Veloce, 2.0 with 170bhp) I LOVE IT. It's so so nice to drive, I say thank you to here every time I turn off the ignition after driving her because I'm grateful for the experience, getting to my destination safely, and that she didn't blow up! My dream is to get her to the Nürburgring next year

[@audiman63]

This lap was just amazing, period 🥰 As the owner of this Alfa Romeo 156 Sportwagon, I was genuinely stunned by the car's handling and abilities on the track. Besides, I loved your driving style, Misha. Thank you for that wonderful moment 😍

[@marcov99]

Had the same Busso 2.5 190hp with a 6 speed manual on the Alfa Romeo 166 wich is bigger and havier (150-200kg.) Loved every morning the cold start...that sound put always a smile on my face and my little son always asked me to rev it up😊 It's a nice engine to drive, very old school, power from middle to high rpm. and more it goes up and more it pulls. Still very good and comfortable to drive in the city, slowly. Torque always available even in low rpm. It was built to last, no matter what! You can't find that sound nowadays anymore. Love the Busso V6, engine from another era ❤❤❤

[@keremtunaa]

I have Alfa Romeo 156 2.0 T.S about 3 years. I really love my car. In three years, a lot of people bought an Alfa Romeo because of me and they are all happy now. Even the previous owners said "I miss my 156, I wish I didn't sell it" Cars don't need to be fast, we all want soul and feel. That's all.

[@robertadamski]

Perfect lap, great owner and so much emotions from this busso masterpiece! I liked what Misha said about Alfa's that they resemble human beings - couldn't agree more on that.

Ten years ago i had one just like this, except in black, and it is the one car that i still miss to this day. Had it for about 5 years and sold it because i drove a lot and could not keep up with the fuel costs. Like Micha said, it's not a race car, but what a thing to drive every day. I still remember the look and feel of the interior, the sound of that glorious busso, and the quick steering. Take good care of it, they are getting rare!

159SW better in my opinion, but yes- alfas have always had the best design and sound engines and handling

[@Lewuaptedama]

159 better looking, but worse platform and engine choices, except for maybe the 1750 and diesel options. All alfas are criminally underrated though cause of people claiming its unreliable.

[@cyclops1337]

Busso, the nicest V6 ever made. And 156 was the nicest saloon and wagon of the era, still looks great. the only thing missing was the proper sports FR layout.

[@Brisbane2024]

Fully agree 👍

[@stoyantodorov2133]

I think FWD isn't the end of the world for a car like this. After all it's made to be a balance between fun but also safety and practicality. FR layout fits more with sedans and coupes.

This brings such a smile to my face that a 20 plus year old car still looks that good, I miss my old 156

one thing i like about street cars is the body roll. it might be bad for performance but it feels so much better for weight transfer and also gives me a feel of rotation i could go through a corner with my eyes closed, pretty much perfect for me.

The best mod for 156, 147 GTA and GT is the LSD of the Q2 version, it almost cancel understeer and the car gets much more enjoyable.

I would recommend coilovers too. I found they actually made more difference than the Q2, since it settles the car, giving the driver confidence and control.
