Alfa Romeo 159 2006-2009
Jonathan Crouch gives us an in-depth Alfa Romeo 159 2006-2009 review. If you want to watch more reviews on vehicles like this Alfa Romeo 159 2006-2009, make sure to SUBSCRIBE to our channel and comment what YOU want us to review next.
The 159 is as close to a risk-free used Alfa buy as it's possible to get. Beefy build quality, a great range of engines, decent used stock availability and razor sharp styling make this a decent left field pick. An optioned-up 1.9-litre diesel in Lusso trim is the wise move.
Buying a used Alfa Romeo used to be an eventful experience. Many people tried it once and then moved on to less risky activities like BASE jumping, recreational Russian roulette or holidays in Gaza. A lot has changed since then. Alfa has pulled its socks up and the results are apparent in improving independent customer satisfaction surveys. The product range is smartening up its act as well, after a period when it was rather lacklustre. The cars that really started this upswing were the 147 and 156 and the 156's replacement, the 159, is bigger, more solidly built and even better looking. It's possibly the safest used pick of any Alfa.

Still turning my head when I park my 159. That's when you know you bought the right one.

has it been reliable?
A totally risk free car, both as a quality products and driver's oriented car with great handling and steering feel.
Update! 8 months on and well over 12K miles my very cheap 1.9jtdm TI still pulls like a train (so torquey) and achieves an easy 53mpg. Problems in 8 months? A pair of rear drop links for £30 fitted in 30 mins = Happy Bunny!!

No. The petrol models bar the 1750 were crap
New Alfisti here!!
Why would you want German garbage when you can have a beautiful 159 or any alfa.
This in black or red with 18/19 inch multi spoke or alfa wheels with peanut butter leather is in my top 5 of saloon designs ever. Alfa 159, Jaguar XJ 350, 2004 Maserati Quatroporte, 1999 Bentley Arnage and lastly the 2012 Bentley Mulsanne.
2.4 jtdm 5cylinders diesel engine with 210hp is the best.

Um not sure about that the TBI 1750 is regarded as the best engine put in a 159 .

1.9 is more reliable. But the 2.4 has better sound, its a 5 pot after all.

2.0 diesel with remap has better torque and power, also it has much better gearbox

Are you sure? My 2.4 is remapped to 265BHP and 520Nm I can't imagine the 2.0 JTDM is capable of that...@@tedarcher9120
I have a 2.0 petrol jts blackline GT styled with Bertone and love it is original apart from a stainless steel exhaust and a kenwood screen with reverse camera and dvd and Thatcham alarm system in great condition and I left it for a month and it started first time.great wee car and looks great. I'm currently looking into a auction for a charity as I'm going to have knee surgery in the future and I'm going for a automatic and I can't believe that I'm saying that a beautiful great to drive and been treated meticulous like the headrests being embroidered on leather interior and great condition but that's not a great problem to fix.I'm doing it gradually and I'm going to try and have it all done perfect a bit at a time maybe 2 months but then it will be concourse condition so I'm not sure exactly but I'll be able to say it will be one of the nicest ones in Scotland anyway and then a automatic!!!so I'll be needing advice on that!!!getting old it's a beautiful car.
Are the timing chains reliable on these as I heard they can stretch over time and need to be replaced

159 TBI 1.75 cc is my prefered 159 model.

I currently have both; an 2.4JTDm Q4 MJ09 and a 1750 TBI MJ11. I must say i prefer the 2.4 although it have 500k km's on it.
It is a 10 year old review
The presenter's dress sense os straight out of 1991! Otherwise a good video.
Aber ich bekomme perfekten Individualismus! Und das bekomme ich bei ABM (Audi,BMW,Mercedes) für Geld und gute Worte nicht!
I don't care about CO2 and company ratings, I care about how much I'll be paying. STOP THAT NONESENSE
Are you for real? There are only a handful of these available ever, meaning ludicrously overpriced massive mileage dross ready for the scrap yard. The 1.9d had a weak dodgy gearbox and was underpowered for its size, the 2.2 petrol and Tbi are atrocious on fuel and heavy on maintenance and the rather good 2.0 or 2.4 diesel with such few sensible mileage examples remaining are stupid money. All were plagued with horrendous cheap Chinese sourced front subframe corrosion problems costing a fortune if it needs replacing. Sure if all this was factored into its price like years past then the looks and better than previous build quality could swing it but with the small number of overpriced cars playing on Alfisti heartstrings ever to choose from no thanks. Simply not value for money in any way.

Heavy yes, but only the back subframe can rust (i treated the part) otherwise no issues after 14 years and 330k km. Alternator needed replacement, otherwise only standard maintenance. Very satisfied
