Car Review - Summary
Alfa Romeo 159 Saloon
PRICE:
£18,555 - £29,500
|
|
 |
|
|
|
FOR
The 159 looks great, and the cabin is spacious and comfortable. Prices undercut German rivals and all versions are well equipped.
|
|
|
|
AGAINST
The 159 isn't as sharp a drive as the BMW 3 Series. High contract hire rates and poor residual values limit appeal.
