Had my 159 SW Ti for 1 month. It's going in the garage next week for the following faults:
1) Leaks like Niagra Falls!... Water in car is sloshing around above the level of the carpet behind the driver's seat.
2) Condensation in two rear lights (probably due to above though)
3) Rear electric window problem goes down and stays down for about 1 minute when you try to make it rise.
4) Sqweaking suspension at rear
5) Poor carpet trim fit in driver's footwell
6) Erratic rain sensor behaviour when using wipers
Not impressed - especially as I had been reassured that Alfa had their quality issues well in order now. Sadly, despite the above niggles, the looks of this car are just SO beautiful, I tend to forgive too quickly. But we'll see what I'm saying AFTER the service.
