Alfa Romeo 156

While quality control problems haven’t gone away – the 156 still posted dismal scores of 96th for reliability and 85th for build – fans will tell you running any used Alfa demands compromise. If you look beyond these issues, you will be rewarded elsewhere; the 156 is the 12th best performing car in our poll, and comes in 16th for handling.

MANUFACTURER VERDICT

A huge leap forward for the Italian firm, which has always scored badly in Driver Power. Still plenty of room for improvement, but in many respects Alfa Romeo is making great progress.
