Both the 156 and 159 look beautiful.
Is the 1.9 the same engine you find in the Vauxhall range ?
Better than that tbh, its more sporty sounding even as standard.
Plus it has a gt22 vnt turbo as standard..
Avoid the 1.9s tbh, i THINK the highest powered one is 140 bhp and then they went to the 2.0, and they use an m32 gm gearbox, which is made from chocolate along with the drive shafts lol
Only common problem ive seen with them is the suspension arms, which arent too expensive (a whole front set is about 80 quid) but then it is a double wishbone set up.
The 2.4s are also abit nose heavy, but some have got an LSD fitted which helps with this.
