Hi new to this forum but as a 159 owner I thought I'd give you my views, I've been driving my 159 1.9Jtdm since June, Delivery was a nightmare the dealer worse but the 159 has been fantastic. I had the 2.2 for 2 weeks whilst waiting on another delay but if anything the 1.9 is better.The engine was a little slugish at first but after 2500miles has loosened up a lot. The handling has been very good and I was very impressed when I had to brake at high speed and steer round a car that decided to move over without lookig. The car gets loads of attention wherever I go. My wife has come out of the house several times to find people looking in the car. The car is in Titanio grey with the red leather interior which gives it a very expensive look and feel. The only niggle is the Sat Nav which isn't great but thats a minor thing. Living in the midlands have started to see a few about, saw 3 in one morning driving into Worcester, but if people have had to wait as long as I did to get mine I'm not suprised there's not many about. Had the chioce of the BMW or the Alfa and when I was waiting on delivery I was beginning to think I made the wrong decision but I'm so glad I didn't.
