Alfa Romeo 159
Alfa Romeo’s 159 has a sophisticated driver appeal. This car is well built and a quality ride without sacrificing any of the style that Alfa Romeo has become famous for. The Alfa Romeo 159 is designed for a more mature driver. The larger car handles better on the road and provides a smooth, quiet ride. The diesel engine option makes the car an economical choice. The seats provide an extremely comfortable driving position and the competitive price makes it an all around great deal.
The 159 would make a decent family car. Children could more easily gain access to rear seating than adults, and there would be plenty of legroom and headroom for a child. The boot is not quite large enough to comfortably carry large items (strollers, wheel chairs, etc).
This would not be the ideal first car. The car is a little too large for new drivers, and certain variations make the car too powerful for first time drivers. The controls are easy enough to use for new drivers, but the car size is not ideal.
Alfa Romeo has had its fair share of image problems. The company has had to face poor performance and reliability issues head on. Things started to take a turn for the better with the introduction of the 156 model, and now the improved Alfa 159 model. Both vehicles were a testament to Alfa’s determination to provide a gorgeous, dependable vehicle at an affordable price.

Review Summary

Summary
Alfa has always produced visually beautiful cars that for one reason or another never delivered the expected level of performance. The Alfa’s 159 seems to be one of their first well rounded cars. It delivers in terms of size, performance, reliability, safety, and style. The 159 definitely raised the bar for Alfa Romeo.
