Alfa 159 Lusso

Hi

Hi I thought I would have a look around this forum, hopefully its as usefull as the vauxhall forum I often use.
I picked up my 159 Lusso before christmas and am very pleased with it so far, I allso own a vauxhall Astra which I have modified from standard although is now declared SORN as I have no need for it since getting the new car, although cannot bring myself to sell it yet!

Re: Hi

Welcome. How are you getting on with the 159? I pick up mine in about 5 weeks.

What colour and engine did you go for?

Alfa 159 Lusso

Re: Hi

Its a 1.9 JTDM Lusso in Silver with black leather interior. I would have rathered a different colour but my director wanted to keep all vehicles in Silver. Its only got the 17" alloys aswell, but again I was only allowed standard spec so I just went for the Lusso which looked like it has allmost everything anyway.
Very happy with it overall, bit of an issue with the fog lights (one smashed within 400miles of driving) and the 150bhp isnt exactly mind blowing due to the weight of the car but saying it still goes well.

I havent taken any pictures of it yet as its only a standard car so it never really crossed my mind, but i will when i get around to it. I will put some pics of my astra in my profile if it permits- it may be of interest to a few of you on here.

Re: Hi

I dont mind silver, But would have ratherd red or maybe black with red leather!
Considering It has been bought for me I cant complain really, and everyone else got passats, and i think i have definatelly chosen wisely out of all the cars for this kind of price.
