Alfa Romeo 159 Saloon (06-11) - Review Review by Ben Wall on 13 March 2006 Last Updated: 14 June 2011 The replacement for the 156 follows a familiar recipe for Alfa Romeo. Its stunning four-door body is awash with delightful details, from the triple lens headlights to the sculpted door handles. The interior is similarly evocative with an emphasis on Italian style setting it apart from alternatives while it drives in a sporty manner with a range of powerful petrol and diesel engines. All this will sound familiar to anyone who has owned an Alfa before but the 159 has to shake off the reputation for shoddy build quality and apathetic dealers. Alfa Romeo claims to have addressed these issues, which if true means owners won't have to suffer for their passion 4 out of 5 Other Alfa Romeo reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Owners' Reviews Gallery Also Consider 4.5 out of 5 BMW 3-Series Saloon (05-11) Great to drive, decent level of standard kit, premium image, superbly built, refined interior Expensive options, firm ride Read full review 4.5 out of 5 Audi A4 Saloon (08 on) Roomy interior, superb ride and handling, large boot, top quality cabin, excellent choice of engines, low emissions version available Not a particularly daring design Read full review 4.5 out of 5 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Saloon (07 on) Great choice of engines, spacious interior, comfortable and refined, classy image Plain cabin doesn't feel particularly premium, dated foot-operated parking brake Read full review Find other saloon cars Car Valuations Find used car prices with Parkers accurate car valuations.
