2008 alfa romeo 159 sportwagon reviews

alfa romeo 159 sportwagon reviews by year of make:   2007  2008  2009  Read all reviews

The Alfa 159 Sportwagon is beautiful and sturdy, passionate and dynamic. An estate car with a strong character, a generous payload, flexible to use and at the same time capable of the performance of a sporting thoroughbred.

5 star review

Fantastic to look at and better than a BMW to drive. Moved from having German cars for years and my passion for driving has returned. How can a five cylinder diesel sound so good! Seat with the Alfa red stitching is pure Italian styling. Not worried about mechanical issues as it’s got a three year unlimited mileage warranty. My A6 and A4 both went wrong (£1300) at 65K and 62K. This won’t happen to the Alfa. Blue and Me Microsoft software is easy to use and sound system great. Only gripe is storage - there is none in the cabin. Why would you want to spoil the lines. 19" wheels a dream and people look as you drive through town....buy one.

Alfa Romeo 159 Sportwagon 2008

4 star review

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.
