The ALFA ROMEO 156 (1998-06) 4DR SALOON 2.0 TS VELOCE SELESPEED AUTO LEATHER is a compact four-door family saloon, sitting in the same broad class as the BMW 3 Series and Audi A4. Its distinctive Italian styling gives it more flair than many everyday alternatives, while the Veloce trim, leather seats and automatic-style Selespeed transmission add a sportier, more luxurious feel. It suits drivers wanting a comfortable commuter or enjoyable small-family car, especially those who value character and engaging road manners over the newest technology. Compared with sensible rivals, the 156 is best known for its elegant shape and lively driving feel; this older used Alfa Romeo is more a style-led choice than a predictable, low-cost runabout. mycarcheck.com’s six checks covered four VINs: average recorded mileage was 63,000, annual mileage 1,000, previous keepers 4.8, and valuation £500.
