    My uncle just took me for a spin in his, its amazing. What a car im totally in love with it. he said he looks forward to getting up in the mornings just so he can drive it to work!

    It think its the best looking car on the road at the moment, every set of traffic lights we pulled up at people just looked at it in envy.

    Its a red one with the beige interior. JTd engine, so there shouldnt be any reliability issues with it engine wise.

    Im so glad its an Alfa cos it will depreciate so much over the next few years that i'll be able to buy a 3 year old one for the same price as a 6 year old Corrolla and i'll have an amzaing car to look at/drive.

    The original 156 is better-looking than either of them.:)

    I've driven them before, nice car indeed. Although there is something about the 6-speed 'box that I don't like. I think it feels rather rough.

    Deadly looking car.

    I'll be replacing my aging, yet still beautiful 156 with one shortly (I hope).

    Nice car but I still think it looks too similar to the 156, not really any major leaps forward imo which is testiment to the 156.

    The 159 doesn't seem to be as popular as the 156 either on Irish roads. I wouldn't buy a new one with my money though, purely on the depreciation factor.
