The ALFA ROMEO 156 (1998-06) 4DR SALOON 2.5 V6 TURISMO 6SPD is a four-door, mid-size saloon: a sporty alternative to ordinary family cars, rather than a hatchback or SUV. In the UK market it sits among older, distinctive used executive-style cars, appealing to drivers who value character as well as everyday practicality. This Turismo pairs a sonorous V6 with a six-speed manual, giving the 156 a more involving, lively feel than many comfort-focused rivals such as the BMW 3 Series and Audi A4. Its stylish Italian design and usable cabin make it suitable for commuting, weekend journeys or a small household, especially for someone who enjoys driving and accepts the costs and age-related upkeep of a classic saloon. Mycarcheck records are limited: two checks covered one VIN, so figures are indicative, not a market-wide guide. They show £400 average private-sale value, 36,000 miles, 9,000 annual miles and three previous keepers.
