Car Magazine Alfa Romeo 159 JTDM TI Road Test:
"Those Bridgestone Potenza 235/40 R19s jiggle and crash around on potholed A- and B-roads, the steering wheel squirms if you lean on the chassis during faster corners and it becomes really hard to thread the 159 Sportwagon along in a flowing, smooth manner. An E90 3-series - launched at the same time, remember - would leave it for dead."
Car Magazine Alfa Romeo 159 JTD TI 2.4 Road Test:
"Good, but not good enough to satisfy those coming out of a BMW 3-series. The steering is nicely weighted and suitably pointy but not great at communicating and the ride, which is firm at all times, can be a little unsettled."
"On the downside, it’s not as satisfying to drive as some cars in its class, but while it’s not as capable as some rivals it does have value firmly on its side."
Car Magazine Alfa Romeo 159 3.2 Road Test
"How does it drive? Pretty well considering the gargantuan 1730kg kerbweight. All that mass takes its toll on agility and sprinting prowess but the steering has that typically Alfa alertness to it."
"The ride quality isn't great either."
Top Gear
"A proper Alfa this; accurate steering - even if it is a bit on the numb side - coupled to a lively chassis make the 159 feel faster than it is."
Autocar
"Its steering encapsulates the nature of the car perfectly: the wheel’s imaginatively contoured and beautifully tactile, wrapped in black leather – but it sprouts towards you at an awkward angle, as if the steering column ran through the bulkhead between your feet. It also acts on the front wheels with a variable pace, giving the car an unusually large and unpleasant ‘dead-zone’ of steering angle right at the straight ahead, and then a tendency to dart towards an apex mid-corner that comes without a matching increase in required steering weight. All things considered, the car’s grippy and reasonably game, but feels a little too inert and unpredictable to drive with precision or get much satisfaction from."
Да не се разбереме погрешно - ја обожавам 159-ката. Да ми улета добро половно парче за нормални пари, би ја купил без да размишљам. Најсекси седан икада направен, и тука муабетот завршува.
Да, добра е за возење, далеку од тоа дека не е, али не е најдобра во класа.
