Alfa Romeo 159, which was conceived as a global project for fans of this car brand, largely met the expectations of its fans.
The car has disappeared many childhood diseases inherent in the 156 model. The car has become more reliable in operation, and such famous surprises as the sudden breakdown of the car have sunk into oblivion.
In its class, Alfa Romeo 159 has many competitors. But the car, which was not originally designed to conquer the automotive market, was able to offer its fans a hot hot hole traditional for this brand, excellent handling and an unforgettable driving pleasure.
The machine has only a few basic modifications. Among them is the rather exotic Alfa Romeo 159 Sportwagon, which is an alloy of a hot sports car and a family wagon. In this segment, Italians were pioneers, although now many eminent manufacturers that produce rather strange and designed for a narrow circle of consumers cars followed in their footsteps.
The most charged version was the Alfa Romeo 159 ti, which has at its disposal a powerful 260-horsepower six-cylinder engine, lowered ground clearance and large nineteen-inch wheels.
As for the driving characteristics, all models of the 159 series differ in a very gambling nature of the ride, combined with sophisticated handling. The athletic character of the Italians is also evidenced by the catchy appearance, which includes aggressive body lines, a predatory front of the car and very unusual blocks of headlights.
The interior of the car is also made in the same style, where everything speaks of the Alfa Romeo 159 sports hole. Front seats with developed lateral support, a stylish small steering wheel with three spokes, instruments sunk in deep bowls, the engine start button - all these details show a swift and the uncompromising nature of the car.
Alfa Romeo 159 motors are quite smooth up to 3000 rpm., And after the transition of this feature show a truly explosive and riotous character. A surge of adrenaline begins with the intersection of the mark and, without interrupting for a second, continues until the red zone is reached.
Unlike the previous model, in Alfa Romeo 159 Italian engineers managed to combine a sporty character and excellent smoothness.
Apparently, the calculation was made not only for fans of the truly sporty nature of the ride, but also for lovers of exotic cars who prefer comfortable and quiet movement. Plus, this car provides the ability to occasionally "anneal in full."
A novelty was the use of a robotic transmission model, but this move was more likely a miscalculation of Italian engineers. Robotic cars did not find a response in the hearts of Alpha fans.
Summing up, we can safely say that the car was a success: thanks to its incomparable handling combined with excellent car design, interior trim quality and very rich equipment, the Alpha 159 can rightfully be considered one of the best cars of its very difficult and replete with eminent rivals class.
