Love the 159!

Muffin` · 10 Apr 2013 at 08:40

Nice place to be the 159, I'd consider one if I had to Saloon it about.

Jono8 · 10 Apr 2013 at 08:44

Very nice 159. This could go on my list for when im in the market for a car again. What engine/power does it have?

geekman · 10 Apr 2013 at 08:56

That 159 is absolutely beautiful. I'm looking at the 2.4 as my next car, sadly I'm unlikely to be able to afford the Ti spec one

Chrome mirrors? ?

It's a ti thing, in 2 minds about them, they go with the door handles well. I don't think white or black would. Anthracite 19" wheels were an optional ti thing.

TBi, so 1750 turbo and 200hp. It's also the lightest 159 they did by some margin.

That Alfa is amazing looking, never seen that before. What engine variants do they do and what's reliability like? Those seats/wheels/body kit.. And not something you see regularly on the roads.

Also, more interior pics?

Crying out for a 156 esk ironing board spoiler :cool:

Love the looks and rarity of the 159, the seats look so comfy.

Reliability, the 159 probably brings Alfa on par with most, the forums are no longer full of "yea, that happens to them all".

The older models have a 3.2V6, with a AWD option that was very heavy, the 1750 Turbo supposedly replaced that. Some slower 2.2 and 1.8 Petrols and some dervs, the 2.4 is ok if you actually must have an oil burner.

More insides?

I like that they carried the recessed dials from the 156, and that they're all in Italian, and that they fitted a boost gauge.

159 would definitely be my next car if I wasn't buying a house

Maccapacca · 10 Apr 2013 at 10:51

Get yourself a plate, suits the front ends.

BigglesPiP · 10 Apr 2013 at 11:25

It was on "B3 AOR". I think the standard plate is more discreet.

Novelty of having a black car quickly wears off...might have to go white for next car.

Janesy B · 10 Apr 2013 at 17:53

Yup still looks the same.

mrk · 10 Apr 2013 at 17:55

Is that a Veyron?

Vita · 10 Apr 2013 at 18:00

Looks more black tbh.

skippy2421 · 10 Apr 2013 at 18:37

Biggles...... you ******* I am sooo jealous right now. Always wanted a 159 1.75tbi ti (in black preferably) but they were out of my price range. Lovely car you have there.

rossk26 · 10 Apr 2013 at 19:03

First time I've seen pictures of that A1...

...oh wait
