Reviewing a £1,000 Alfa Romeo 159

Our good mate Jack recently purchased a 2.4 JTD Alfa Romeo 159 for £1,000 as a replacement daily driver for his Citroen C5. This Alfa is a fantastically appealing thing to look at but... is it a good car especially considering you can find "spares & repairs" examples going for more money than this one. Let's find out.

Special thanks to Jack again for trusting us with yet another vehicle!

Love an estate, think that’s a decent looking car. Not sure I’d put my money anywhere near one but glad someone does 😅

1:33 70k miles is still around 110k km, I don't think other cars' belts rated for more

That cause of heavier weight of this platform is simple - safety. It was developed in cooperation with SAAB, so you know it´s well designed.

I had the 156 JTD 2.4. It was an awesome car but turbo blew up at 130k miles and ingested bits into the engine. It was fucked basically so scrapped it

But why are there oil stains all over the steering wheel??
