An Alfa 156 is not ultra reliable
Volvo S60/V70 T5. They go on forever, great 250bhp five cylinder turbo engine, loads of autos about. My ten year old V70 daily has xenons, dual zone climate, electric seats, leather, folding mirrors etc etc etc. See quite a few with sat nav and things too. Really great value cars at the moment. A remap will make it even more potent too.
Can't think of many cars where you'd get more for your money.
