So whilst I'm moving back home with my folks one of my aims is to upgrade my car at some point. This was going to be done at the end of my temporary lodging, but I can see the Mrs getting the hump with it and I think I'm due a bonus through work which could see me around £1200.
I need a 4-door and I do around 16k a year, so a diesel seems best. I've always loved the Alfas and the 156 is one of the better looking.
My criteria are that it must have a diesel engine (1.9 comes in 115, 140 and 150hp flavours - any will do) and it must have the leather interior, because it just has to.
I know you lot are a knowledgeable bunch, so please inform me why I shouldn't?
It's the 16v engine from Fiat, is it not?
Known EGR issues
DMF is also in there.
Any form of DPF?
Also trying to figure out tyre sizes to see how they add up, as I'll still be driving it like it's some form of tarmac rally daily.
