MSRP:$25,000 – $30,000
The 2000–2001 Alfa Romeo 156 Sportwagon 2.5 V6 24v combines the practicality of a five-door wagon with the character of a naturally aspirated V6. Its 2.5-liter V6 produces 187 hp and 164 lb-ft of torque, giving this Sportwagon a noticeably stronger performance focus than the four-cylinder versions. The transverse front-engine layout and front-wheel-drive configuration preserve the 156's familiar road-going character, while the availability of both four-speed automatic and six-speed manual transmissions gives buyers a choice of driving styles.
Performance is one of the main attractions, with a listed 143 mph top speed and 7.2-second 0–60 mph time. At the same time, the Sportwagon body provides useful flexibility, offering between 12.7 and 41.7 cubic feet of luggage space. With 19.9 mpg combined fuel economy, this V6 wagon favors performance and driving enjoyment over outright efficiency, making it an appealing choice for those who want the distinctive Alfa Romeo experience without giving up everyday practicality.
