2008 ALFA ROMEO 159 Sportwagon reviews

Alfa Romeo 159 Sportwagon 2008

I have the 1.9 jts engine... black with black leather interior. The Sportwagon is just a big joy, it’s like owning a piece of expensive art for everybody to see on the roads. Giugiaro worked his magic here, I can definitely say this is the best looking estate car in the world and even better looking than its sedan version. Sportwagon, as its name suggests, has a powerful yet elegant ’sporty feeling’. Function-wise, it has some not too well thought areas inside.. like the sunglasses mini compartment on the roof, even a classic Rayban won’t fit inside so I only placed the remote control of my garage there. The cup holder area is right under your arm, if you want to switch gears it is a problem but these things you can forgive... easily! The engine is silent and very Alfa-ish... inside of the cabin screams "Alfa, Passion, Italian, hmm leather, Coooool!!!" The element of luxury feeling is there and there is enough legroom for everyone. The design is here to stay for some years hopefully. The Alfa Romeo Sportwagon will be considered one of the best looking cars Alfa created, ever. And again hopefully the most reliable one but time will tell about this... Well done Alfa, keep up the good work... Waiting the same magic for the upcoming 169.
