Alfa Romeo 159 Saloon (2006 - 2011) 1.9 JTDm 16V Limited Edition 4d Owner Review

I have had 9 Alfa's over the last 42 years and only one has lived up to the bad reputation. An early Alfasud, the 159 has been very reliable and I have only had to change 3 headlight bulbs. It is a very good drive, the one I have , a 1.9 jtdm has a surprising amount of power and torque and its fuel economy is consistent at around 49 mpg. A long motorway journey will return in the region of 53 mpg. It's comfortable and all the electrics work as well! Built quality is the best I've experienced with an Alfa, no rattle's or squeaks. Leather seats and wonderful looks. I regularly get comments from other drivers about how good it looks. Get a good one, service it regularly and look after it and you will have a great experience. I'm now looking for another one in red to complement the black one I already have! Cost me 3500 to buy 2 years ago with 75000 on the clock. Now just over 100 k and still not causing any problems.
