Naletio sam na jedan test 159 1.8Mpi (Opelaš), pa sam se iznenadio kad sam vidio ručnu klimu, nema komandi na volanu i tko zna što još, a svejedno košta 28.500Eur
The time we Alfa Romeo in the commercial middle class could be dismissed as oninte-esting, is behind us. Even more than its predecessor, the 159 to 156 is the most desirable models in its segment. Recently, a new entry-level model with indirect injection 1.8-liter gasoline engine.
In the 159 , Alfa the slick look of its predecessor perfected.
The four-door Berlina, as the Italians like to call themselves the 159 sedan,
looks appetizing and is in our opinion one of the finest class for the moment. Moreover, the quality feel of the car during the first test drives us all positively surprised. The 159 feels considerably more solid than the 156.
Loafer
The 1.8-liter gasoline engine in our test car for the 159 new. It's not a twin-engine Park, including 156 who had. Nor is the 140 horsepower 1.8-liter JTS to generation, which means that he's also lacks direct fuel injection.
And does a little frugal in a range that the rest mere engines with direct fuel injection comprises. But the 1.8 MPI 159 is of course the slip of the series, and then you can not desire anything. We miss the vicious of the twin-engine in the Park 156. Clearly, the 1.8 MPI engine to tight for the 159. It is important to get in the agitation to speed gearbox is nice to hold. But that he's not so much. Who want to quickly switch is beginning to face a Haker, cracking, even occasionally blocking container. You must conduct poker quietly through the gears, then everything goes fine. For revs is the Alpha not afraid. This happens also in peace, because the interior road noise are well suppressed. Adequate sound insulation has the pleasant consequence that you are not directly in the eye that you have the power to work quite late. The rumbling sounds that used to be from the Alfa's engine room stroking the ear, are entirely absent.
The control system is working sufficiently hard and direct, yet somewhat woollier than its predecessor. The 156 dropped exactly where you put him have wished and felt very directly. The 159 runs above average again, but Alfa has the sharp edges removed. More than 156 so he can show a wider audience delight. The 159 is a bit more comfort and less attuned to sportsmanship. Sports purists may be disappointed, but we find the balance between comfort and sportiness fine for everyday use.
Short Ass
The 159 is new inside, of course, but looks familiar. The dashboard shape follows that of the 156, but is a bit smoother and firmer. The finish is better again, but several areas close to not that neat. The controls are logically grouped. The motor can be printed
The latest trend to life with a start-/stopknop. The seat behind the wheel is good and the seats are spacious.
Space you have more than enough up front. On the back is just enough freedom of movement. The rear entry requires' s pretty lithe body. Not only because of the low roof, but also by the slanted B-pillars that access to the rear seats are rather narrow. The trunk is very spacious. Because of the short butt offers 405 liters of storage space.
