Drivers find no problems with the 156’s comfort – the driving position is fully adjustable, the switchgear is easy to reach, attractively styled, and there’s generous head and legroom. However, visibility is restricted by awkwardly-styled wing mirrors and chunky rear pillars.

Rear passengers will find that legroom is limited and it’s a real squeeze with three in the back, but the seats are well sculpted and are comfortable for long trips.
