Alfa Romeo

[KinKyJ]

So I'm leasing a new car next year and since I don't like the design of the new Mercedes C class, I'm leaving my favorite brand...

Cars in the running: BMW 3, Audi A4 and Alfa Romeo 159.

The Alfa is friggin' sweet (interior as well as exterior), so even though it doesn't come with a hook, it has the most points for me. Has anyone driven one of these before (new models, not the old ones)?

Re: Alfa Romeo

What engine, Kinks? The 2.4d?

Forget anything below that one.

Re: Alfa Romeo

I was thinking the 1.9 JTD 8v Impression (120hp). Goes from 0 to 100 in 11sec.

Why the 2.4? Are the rest of the motorisations too light? If so, shit: the leasing company only leases 1.9 JTD's from 8 to 16v...

Re: Alfa Romeo

It's pretty ok, leasing is about € 600/650 per month, 70% tax deductable. Pretty good deal for such a pussy wagon

Re: Alfa Romeo

Kinky why don't you take a look at the new Volvo S60 , pretty sweet, sporty and classy sedan car and in the same price range as the ones you are looking at.
If I were you I would go with the BMW 330.

Re: Alfa Romeo

Damn you Bululu, now you've got me ping ponging again... The S60 is a sweet car indeed. Then again, it doesn't have that slick design the Alfa has... Hmz, I need to go test driving...

No beemer for me btw, every wannabe and guido here drives one if they have the money for it. Bleh.

Re: Alfa Romeo

^^^ catalogue price of the cheapest diesel GT is € 30.550,00 (without any options).

So none of you humps have driven an Alfa before eh? Guess I really have to go test driving myself then, pfffff...

Re: Alfa Romeo

If you test drive the S60 then ask for the T5 version , sweet ride and smooth drive. If you drive test one let me what you think.

Re: Alfa Romeo

agree with Bululu, you should consider Volvo

Re: Alfa Romeo

wow Calatrava is amazing

Isn't he? He designed the new Thalys station which they're currently building in Li?ge, Belgium. Fucking ace

Alfa is womens car made to drive for 2 yrs tops, then it gets loud... IMO

That's why I asked if someone drove the NEW model. The previous models of Alfa did have some flaws, but that's been taken care of, so I hear. And a womens car... A Mini is a womens car, the new Beetle is a womens car... The 159 surely isn't

...dont ask a beemer girl about alfa...

I should get an Aston Martin Vanquish just to piss you off
