Well impressed how much space there is in the boot and when the seats fold....also roomy in the back
Im looking at one on Tuesday and hopefully itll be mine, 110k but new cambelt and clutch so not bad for the money

Ive had 4 x 2.4 jtd engines all 20v and no problems with any of them. 3 x 156 including the current one and a 159 2.4 ti 210bhp version. The current 156 is over 100k now and gearbox and engine are still going strong.
Swirl potts on the 159 caused a few issues on early cars and the usual EGR valve sticking but you can always blank off and delete with a remap.
Sub frames need checking but corrosion can be hidden by the under tray.
159 is a lot of car for the money. As with any alfa it needs regular services. Annual oil change as a minimum. IIRC its 20k or two years for everything else. Some dealers actually said it was 2 years or 20k when they first came out as a selling point. It wasnt strictly speaking true.
I really wish I was having your experiences of the 2.4. MAF said he was for ever spending on his too. Nik just got rid of his as he got fed up with it. It leaked oil for every orifice apparently.
