Alfa Romeo 159 Review

If you own an Alfa 156 or 147 you should be aware the bonnet safety catch allows the bonnet to flip up at high speed if you don't maintained it correctly. There have been several accidents since Christmas 2007.

Alfa Romeo 159 was launched last year – and it’s been herald as the car that is going to lift Alfa Romeo out of the mess they are currently in.

The Alfa Romeo 159 has replaced the Alfa Romeo 156 and prices start from £19995 to £28250. However hire contract hire rates, and poor residual value limits its appeal. And if it’s anything like my Alfa Romeo 156 it will be the most unreliable car you have ever owned.

There is no doubt that the Alfa 159 looks fanatic, but looks aren’t everything. Alfa Romeo has been dogged with reliability problems; fault bonnet catch, suspensions; leaks etc, the Alfa 156 has had around 11 official recalls.

So if you are still interest in buying an Alfa Romeo 159 here are some links to reviews and other sites of interest.
