Alfa Romeo 159 Sportwagon (06-11) - Review Review by Simon Harris on 13 July 2006 Last Updated: 25 November 2009 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. 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 3.5 out of 5 Buying used Despite its extra practicality, the 159 Sportwagon isn't as popular as the saloon version so you may have to travel further to find one. The best examples are usually found at Alfa Romeo dealers while the most common model is the 1.9 JTDM.
