The ALFA ROMEO 159 (2009-12) 5DR SPORTWAGON 1.75 TBI 200 EU5 TURISMO 6SPD is a compact executive estate, offering five-door practicality with distinctive Italian styling. In the UK used-car market it sits between mainstream family estates and premium alternatives, appealing to buyers who want useful space without choosing a familiar German badge. The 200bhp turbo petrol engine feels lively, and the six-speed manual adds an engaging drive. It suits families, commuting and longer trips, although fuel and upkeep may cost more than a mainstream estate. mycarcheck.com has eight look-ups covering two VINs, a small sample: average value £2,500, mileage 106,000, annual use 5,000 miles and two previous keepers. Against Audi A4 Avant and BMW 3 Series Touring rivals, it offers distinctive Italian styling and rarity, rather than best-in-class practicality or economy. It suits buyers seeking a characterful, enjoyable estate; check history and condition carefully for a more individual used-car choice.
