Alfa Romeo 159 Review
The 159's stunning looks, sharp steering and impressive grip make it a great value alternative to its German rivals. The interior is no less impressive; with clear, easy to use controls, sturdy fittings, two-way steering adjustment and height-adjustable seats to ensure you feel completely at home.
An Alfa Romeo 159 offers an impressive range of equipment as standard, with remote central locking, alloy wheels, climate control, cruise control and four electric windows on even the most basic models. The safety kit is also comprehensive, with the 159 scoring a full five stars in Euro NCAP tests.
The 159 saloon offers generous head- and legroom in the front and plenty of space for two tall adults in the back. Families with young children or pets may prefer a used Alfa Romeo 159 estate, with its well-shaped 445-litre boot – however people looking to transport antiques may be frustrated by the narrow load area, tight opening and unhelpfully high load lip.
