After months of waiting and knowing the car was in storage for 3 months, the wait is over. My 159 arrived on Friday morning. Wow, what a looker.

Having covered about a 400 miles, I can tell you that I love the 2.4 engine, really good fun to drive and overtaken is no longer a terrifying experiance, as it was in my 120bhp diesel Laguna. MPG so far is 30mpg according to the trip computer. Its a company car, so fuel isnt an issue for me, however Im sure it will improve with time.

On Saturday I took it in have a Pioneer Avic F900bt fitted, Im very disapointed in its performance, its going back to be checked again on Saturday. I feel the unit has been rushed to market without being fully tested. Here are some of my key concerns. Take a min or so to boot up, feels like hours when your in the car. Bluetooth quality is poor, I can here the caller nice and clear, but I sound distant. Has rebooted a few times for no reason. Pairing my Blackberry is a PITA.
I could go on.....

However the 159 is superb, It really grabs the attention wherever it goes.

Congrats on your new car! :)

Awesome colour, I have a black and tan Spider, I still think its the best colour combo.

wish I had those sassy Ti calipers and discs....:(

NB the seats do pick-up the blue from jeans, I have to clean myy weekly! but still love the colour loads.
