The ALFA ROMEO 159 (2009-12) 4DR SALOON 1.9 JTDM 8V 120 STANDARD 6SPD is a four-door, mid-sized family saloon, offering a stylish alternative to mainstream UK choices such as the Ford Mondeo and Volkswagen Passat. Its sleek Italian design gives it more visual flair than many practical, sensible rivals. The 1.9-litre diesel and six-speed manual suit regular commuting and longer journeys, while the roomy cabin and boot make it useful for couples or small families. This 120 version favours relaxed, economical motoring over outright speed, and the 159 is often chosen by drivers who want everyday comfort with a more engaging, characterful feel. mycarcheck.com has recorded three checks, covering one VIN, so these figures are useful clues rather than a market picture.
