Hi, I have now driven almost 2,000 km with my 159 and give an interim report. Because the first Threat is already quite long, I opened up a new one here. I hope that doesn’t bother. 1. According to my opinion, the engine has already gained agility significantly. The car is purely subjectively faster than at the beginning. I have not stopped any times. 2. Consumption is now at around 9 l / 100 km on the highway at speeds of up to 210 km/h according to Tacho. Sunday 90 km of road driving and came to a consumption of 6 l / 100 km – all information according to the on-board computer. I have not had the time to offset the tank receipt – and also not to take photos. But get this after, if there is a little more time. 3. The gears can be switched considerably softer by now, than at the beginning. My dealer had also told me so. 4. Luggage compartment can be used very well despite the high loading edge. The 156 was for us because of the small Koff 5. Operation: I have no problems with the steering stick lever. Tempomat can be switched on easily and after a braking manoeuvre can also start again. Up to now, I have never confused the lever with the turn signal. 6. Instruments are very easy to read. I cannot complain about irritating reflections in the windscreen. Ventilation flap for the right side window is something reflected when I reach the right side window. 7. There was a first defect: a seal in the high-pressure pump for the Xenon headlights leaked. It is replaced tomorrow morning. The Alfa pointed me to the problem precaution by pointing out low liquid level windscreen washing system. My workshop had taken in the car right Saturday morning, examined. The small seal came today. Manufacturer of the pump is said to be Bosch, says my dealer – Alfa can be this defect 8. Seats are very comfortable, even on longer distances. Feel very comfortable at the wheel even after a longer ride – 430 km last Sunday – despite an instant herniated disc. Side stop is absolutely good. 9. Winter tyres and rims should arrive in a week. Keep my fingers crossed!
