Hello Alfisti, since today I can understand why your Alfa is driving! I am currently a double BMW driver and am looking for a new one now because my 1er should be gone. To the selection for me stood BMW 3er, Audi A4, A6 and also an Alfa Romeo 159. It is supposed to be a used (2-3 years). Today I drove the Alfa test. And now I have no choice anymore. The Alfa will! I really loved the car. The prejudices against Alfa like bad workmanship etc. I can absolutely The engine is neat and has up to 120 also good bangs. But from 160-180 it becomes really tough, my 177 HP 1 is much faster. But the engine is gladly pardoned for the dream look and feel-good ambience in the interior. The Pros and Contras: PRO – Design Design Design Design Design > simply not to be compared with the (sorry) representative cars of German premium manufacturers – up to country road speed powerful – interior is great, the leather very noble, the center console a Dream! – Chassis sporty AND comfortable – did I already say design? CONTRA – drunker? (I couldn’t determine, according to fuel monitor 8.5l but don’t think I can do it) – engine above lame – no tip flashing If I can’t see that my test car lost power while driving and the engine control lights wildly lit an absolutely dreamy car! But according to the seller it was only on the particle filter that has to be blown free… No matter, the test car won’t. But if j and has one in the price range up to 16,000 EUR with brown or beige leather: Bring it on! LG Daniel – soon Alfisti
