The ALFA ROMEO 159 (2006-09) 5DR SPORTWAGON 2.2 JTS 185 LUSSO 6SPD is a five-door, petrol-powered estate: a stylish family car rather than an SUV or city runabout. In the UK, it sits in the compact executive estate class, offering a more distinctive alternative to familiar German rivals such as the BMW 3 Series Touring and Audi A4 Avant. With 185 horsepower and a six-speed manual gearbox, the 159 Sportwagon feels more engaging than many practical estates, while Lusso trim brings an upmarket feel. Its sweeping Italian styling and useful load space make it well suited to couples, small families and commuters wanting comfort and character. The 2.2-litre petrol engine is less focused on fuel-saving than smaller-engined alternatives, so budget for running costs. Mycarcheck.com records 76 look-ups across nine distinct VINs, a modest snapshot: average mileage was 80,000, annual mileage 3,000, and private-sale valuation £1,400. Check its history and condition carefully.
