Car Review - Summary
Alfa Romeo 159 Sportwagon
PRICE:
£19,655 - £30,600
|
|
 |
|
|
|
FOR
The 159 is a handsome car and cossets passengers with a comfortable ride. Prices undercut German rivals and all versions are well equipped.
|
|
|
|
AGAINST
The 159 isn't as sharp a drive as the BMW 3 Series and the cabin isn't as appealing as the exterior. High contract hire rates and poor residual values limit appeal, while boot is fairly useless for an estate.
