Description
Ah, the Alfa Romeo 159 3.2 JTS V6 Lusso Saloon—*a name so long it makes an Italian opera sound like a haiku*. In the world of executive saloons, this beauty, draped in a metallic red that could make a fire engine blush, stands out like a flamingo at a funeral.
Now, let’s talk power. With a robust 260 bhp, this beast accelerates faster than most politicians can change their minds. Some say it’s like being shot from a cannon, but I'd argue it’s more like being catapulted into a glorious Italian sunset—with the added benefit of *not* crashing through a vineyard.
The Q-Tronic gearbox? Well, it's smoother than a politician’s lies, yet somehow still manages to feel slightly more engaging than your average toaster. And with emissions that are shockingly high—286 g/km—I’d call this more of a “fuelish” indulgence, and yet, it’s ULEZ compliant, giving you the misguided hope you can drive it guilt-free through London’s snarls.
After ten years of love from its current owner, this Alfa is rarer than a well-thought-out government policy. If you think you can find a better deal at this price, well, I’d suggest taking up fishing instead—because you’ll need every ounce of patience imaginable.
In conclusion, if you want a car that makes you feel like a flamboyant Italian film star rather than just another cog in the automotive machine, this 159 is barking mad in all the right ways. Just don’t blame me when you find yourself on a quest for better fuel economy!
