The ALFA ROMEO 159 (2006-09) 5DR SPORTWAGON 1.8 MPI 140 LUSSO is a stylish, mid-sized petrol estate, offering useful boot space and room for everyday family life. In the UK market it sits alongside practical estate cars such as the Ford Mondeo and Volkswagen Passat, but brings a more distinctive Italian look. With 140bhp from its 1.8-litre engine, it is suited to commuting, school runs and longer trips, especially for buyers wanting a comfortable, usable car with more character than a conventional family wagon. Lusso trim adds an upmarket feel, while the Sportwagon’s flowing design and composed road manners make it appealing to drivers who value style as well as practicality.
