Wonderfully distinctive styling, wonderful cabin, strong diesel line-up, great handling

Not very practical for an estate, tight space for passengers in the back

The Alfa 159 Sportwagon is a far more effective estate than its predecessor the 156. The earlier car was an afterthought, that appeared three years after the 156 saloon - but the 159 Sportwagon was developed alongside its saloon counterpart, launched in 2006. The Sportwagon is much stiffer than the old model, making it feel better on the road but one of the biggest improvement is to its load carrying ability. It also looks very attractive, but list prices set it against rather prestigious competition, which have a greater depth of ability.

 Not very practical, but if I wanted practical I would have bought a Volvo V70.
