Alfa Romeo 159 Sportswagon Driving Picture

Performance

Good choice of engines with 2.4-litre diesel and 2.2 petrol standouts.

Driving

Plenty of low-down pull means the engines don't have to be flogged. Cruises well with good suspension.

Feel

Quiet engines with some noise from elements at higher speeds.


Price

Undercuts main rivals but question mark over residuals and average fuel economy.

Quality

Looks nice inside and out.

Safety

Great safety kit makes for 5-star NCAP rating.


Space

Good passenger space but the boot is small for an estate. 1,235 litres with the rear seats folded down.

Equipment

Cruise control, climate control and alloys as standard. Leather trim at higher specs.

Alternatives

Audi A4 Avant


Pros

Looks great for an estate and drives well.

Cons

Poor space for an estate. Dubious residual values.
