Today I hit after a long car search and enjoyed an Alfa Romeo 159. The beautiful car is a 1.9 liter diesel with Q-Tronic transmission. Already during the test drive I got used to the really pleasant automatic, in contrast to my old E39 530dA a masterpiece of technology. Now a few detail questions, there are several series of the car, approval date is 30.01.2008 First approval 16.04.2009. The dealer has the year of construction with 04/2009. If I enter the FIN number on a website (do not know if I may post) I will be shown Production Date 2009-03-18, was the car built on March 18, 2009 or how can I understand that? The exact name of the car is Alfa Romeo 159 Alfa 1,9 JTDM 16V Sportiva Qtronic, unfortunately I find almost nothing about the term Sportiva, is this a line of equipment? About a “Facelift” (are apparently rather small changes instead of a big facelift), find t you also very contradictory statements, from small changes to the control panel of the air conditioning system up to a different behavior at the start button (just press 1x instead of hold on) or that you can open the trunk also at the back of the emblem (which unfortunately I did not pay attention to during the test drive). Maybe you can help me bring some light into the dark. I already say thank you and wish everyone a pleasant weekend, Emyr
