The ALFA ROMEO 159 (2006-09) 5DR SPORTWAGON 3.2 JTS V6 260 LUSSO Q4 QTRONIC AUTO6 is a sporty five-door estate, pairing useful family-car space with a powerful petrol engine and four-wheel drive. In the UK, it offers a distinctive alternative to premium estates such as the Audi A4 Avant and BMW 3 Series Touring, adding Italian styling and character. Mycarcheck.com records only four look-ups across three VINs, so this is a small sample. It indicates an average private-sale value of £2,100, average mileage of 88,000 miles, annual use of 4,000 miles and 2.5 previous keepers. With its automatic gearbox, roomy boot and all-weather grip, the 159 Sportwagon suits families and keen drivers seeking a long-distance car with more character than German rivals. The V6 delivers smooth performance, but fuel use and upkeep may be higher than modest-engined estates, so check condition and budget carefully before buying this used Alfa Romeo.
