The ALFA ROMEO 159 (2009-12) 5DR SPORTWAGON 1.75 TBI 200 EU5 LUSSO 6SPD is a smart, five-door estate, rather than a hatchback or SUV. It sits in the used family-car market, offering extra luggage space in a stylish package. Its distinctive Italian design gives it more character than many practical estate rivals. mycarcheck.com records 22 look-ups covering eight distinct VINs, a useful snapshot but a modest sample. These cars averaged 89,000 miles and about 4,000 miles a year, with roughly 2.3 previous keepers. The average private-sale valuation was £2,800, offering a broad guide rather than a guaranteed price; condition and history matter. It suits families and commuters needing boot space, but its styling and lively petrol engine give it appeal beyond practical estates. Against rivals such as the Ford Mondeo and Volkswagen Passat, the 159 Sportwagon feels more distinctive and driver-focused. Check condition and history carefully, as with any used car.
