Alfa Romeo 159 Sportwagon Car Reviews

Alfa Romeo 159 Sportwagon 2.4JTD TI 2008

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.

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.

5 star review

Definately the best looking Sportwagon, Alfa Romeo are certainly streets ahead of the competition when it come to style. The 1.9 litre engine gives the best economy and the performance is strong and refined. The suspension on the 159 is the best I have ever come across. The cabin is well laid out, orderly and well structured whilst safety and security is beyond compare. A great looking, well equiped sportwagon.

Alfa Romeo 159 Sportwagon Italy

1 star review

I rented the Alfa Romeo 159 Sportwagon in Italy. We drove the car for about 650 miles in 4 days. I loved the styling, the handling and the pickup. The car was the diesel 6 cylinder. Europcar was the rental company. The car broke down twice in the four days. The second time the clutch gave out on the road they call the Dragon in the Amalfi coast. Service provide by Europcar was very poor. Needless to say I was not impressed with the car which was very disappointing as I was very excited to try that manufacturer.

This is Kenny review: I've been pretty happy with my Sportswagon - it's stylish with good handling. One grumble is that they back seats will not lay flat when flipped forward. I needed an estate car and I still think that this is by far the best looking one available.
