Alfa Romeo 159, which was conceived as a global project for fans of this car brand, has 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 a sudden car breakdown have sunk into oblivion.
Alfa Romeo 159 has a lot of competitors in its class. But the car, not originally designed to conquer the automotive market, was able to offer its fans the brand's traditional hot temper, excellent handling and unforgettable driving pleasure.
The machine has only a few major modifications. Among them is the rather exotic Alfa Romeo 159 Sportwagon, which is a fusion of a hot sports car and a family station wagon. In this segment, the Italians were pioneers, although now many eminent manufacturers have followed in their footsteps,producing rather strange and designed for a narrow circle of consumers cars.
The most charged version was the Alfa Romeo 159 ti, which has 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 are characterized by a very gambling character of the ride, combined with perfect handling. The sporty character of the Italians is also evidenced by the catchy appearance, which includes aggressive body lines, a predatory front end of the car and very unusual headlight units.
The interior of the car is made in the same style, where everything speaks of the Alfa Romeo 159's sports temper. all these details show the car's fast-paced and uncompromising character.
Alfa Romeo 159 engines are quite smooth up to 3000 rpm, and after crossing this line they show a really explosive and violent character. The adrenaline rush starts from crossing the mark and continues without interruption for a second until the red zone is reached.
Unlike the previous model, the Alfa Romeo 159 Italian engineers managed to combine a sporty character and excellent ride.
Apparently, the calculation was made not only for fans of the truly sporty nature of the ride, but alsofor fans of exotic cars who prefer comfortable and quiet movement. On top of that, this car provides the opportunity to occasionally "burn out in full".
The novelty was the use of a robotic transmission in the model, but this move was more of a miscalculation of Italian engineers. Robotized 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 the incomparable handling, combined with the excellent design of the car, the quality of the interior trim and the very rich equipment, the Alpha 159 can rightfully be considered one of the best cars of its very difficult and replete with eminent class rivals.
