Jest to moja 2 alfa i jeszcze mi się nie zepsuła, ani nie zawiodła. Pomimo lat dalej przyciąga swoim wyglądem. Silnik trwały, zawieszenie też trwałe (worków z cementem nie pakuje). First 159 1.9jtdm went to 88K with absolutely no problems at all. I did 27K of those miles in 22 months. The GT 1.9jtdm went to 79K with absolutely no problems (engine wise). I did 28K of them in 12 months. Second 159 1.9jtdm went to 101K miles, and was a pain in the arse. Alfa Romeo 159 review (2005-2012) A stunning alternative to conventional saloons like the BMW 3 Series, the Alfa Romeo 159 has strong sharp handling and Italian charm e9TkF.
