Alfa Romeo 159 1.9 Diesel Auto saloon 2007

5 star review

It’s truly comforting to see the other reviewers using the same adjectives as I would to describe this wonderful car. Soul, passion, style, emotion and sheer driving enjoyment, yes even with the Auto box, is unmatched against the usual suspects i.e. A4 Saab, BMW 3 series. You will only undersand it if you get to drive one for a reasonable period of time. I also have had a BMW 3 series saloon which was great to drive, but does not come close to the 159’s comfort, beauty & driving environment inside my 159, especiallly the fabulous leather seats. Yes, there are some quirky design ergonomics but we’re talking Italian here!...expect it to be so. Gratias, Alfa...Te amo!

Alfa Romeo 159 2.4 JTDm 2007

3 star review

An object of beauty sprawled out on the drive with it’s seductive grille and headlights, soft leather seats and deep pile carpets. No, this is not the Honda Jazz hire car that I have on loan but my 159 2.4 JTDm which currently has a mind of its own with regard to reliability. For the second time in three weeks it has booked itself into an Alfa hotel for a few days while they try and work out what the problem is. That aside when its not a drama queen this car is all you could want from a motoring experience and i will keep that thought with me while I tootle along the country lanes in my noddy hire car. Being serious for a moment I could quite easily give my Alfa a five star rating just for what it is but I am finding it difficult to contain my frustration with the reliability issue.

5 star review

I bought my 159 with every possible option including the lovely soft Frau Leather seats which are electric and heated. There is navigator, phone, 10 speaker Bose multi CD system, parking sensors everywhere, tri zone air-con and much more. Any German with the same spec would have cost around 30% more. Then it is purely about how the car drives. 70,000 miles in a year (totally trouble free) and I’ve enjoyed every one of them. The car is set up superbly and feels like you are on train tracks with easily corrected understeer. The suspension is firm but much quieter than previous Alfa’s. Lovely gear change and steering which is perfect (fast, responsive and sensitive with tons of feel) so you know what is going on. The 2.4 5cyl diesel is excellent, more potent than many German diesel V6’s I’ve driven the C Class and A4, no competition, the Alfa is much better. If you like the 3 Series it is an excellent car but no better than the Alfa but more expensive. And with the BMW you always look like a bit of a t**t; as Clarkson says "Tom Cruise".

5 star review

Jeremy Clarkson described this as the Christopher Walken of cars, the BMW 3 Series was the Tom Cruise. What Clarkson was saying was amongst the hundreds of Walken appearances there are a couple of real diamonds. The latest 159 is one of Alfa’s diamonds.
