Car Forum / Alfa Romeo Cars / July 2005Alfa 156 1.9 jtd sportwagon
Hello there, I'm driving for years Alfa Romeo, my first one was a 33 1.7 16v (great engine!!!), nowadays I drive a 145 1.4 boxer (more economic ;-)), but he's getting old (11 years)... So, I'm very interested in a second buy Alfa 156 1.9jtd sportwagon (great design). Any one to advise me (what to look for, problems,...) or any experiences with the car? I'm looking after a 2001-2002 model. Thanks in advance for all your comments!

I know that the 1.9 is a 110 hp engine, but in Belgium is the driving tax relative high for petrol engines, so the 2.4 is only for "rich" people ;-), and -aha- I'm not (yet).

The 1.9 JTD 16v is 140 hp.

But as I was saying, the more hp the more tax you pay, and with diesel engines is it really expensive. It's like the 110 hp costs 100£, the 140 hp costs 250£... (he real tax is a lot more). If you drive -20.000km you better buy a petrol engine (2.5 V6 or so...). And I drive + 25.000 km a year, so the choise is easy.

I have just put my Alfa 1.9JTD 2003 saloon up for sale - cream leather interior, black, 45,000 miles I never had a problem with it. Performance wise is great not bad actually, I dont feel like I am driving a diesel put it that way... I like the UK though so I guess you would be too far away and it will be right hand drive... domestos >Hello there, > >Greeting from Alfa-Belgium, > >Tim Assuming you're speaking flemisch/dutch, have a look at: http://www.alfaromeo156club.nl/ Een club van, voor en door Alfa Romeo 156 bezitters zowel voor de Sedan als voor de Sportwagon!
