Comments on: New Alfa Romeo models launched in Malaysia, including the Alfa 159 finally! http://paultan.org/2009/05/10/new-alfa-romeo-models-launched-in-malaysia-including-the-alfa-159-finally/ Paul Tan on the Automotive Industry Sun, 27 May 2012 07:11:28 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Will http://paultan.org/2009/05/10/new-alfa-romeo-models-launched-in-malaysia-including-the-alfa-159-finally/#comment-290256 Will Mon, 11 Jan 2010 15:37:48 +0000 http://paultan.org/?p=14896#comment-290256 From Australia here...my first car was an Alfa Romeo when I was 23, and I have had many since and currently own 2. A 147 (which isnt featured above) and a 159 Ti... this is a 2.4litre Turbo Diesel, semi automatic that is lowered by the factory (as standard), 19 inch alloys, brushed aluminium wing mirrors, bluetooth, media centre and electric seats as standard. It is a rocking set of wheels and looks striking in Alfa Red. While being a diesel it is a little loud at low speeds, this is an excellent cruising car with power and economy. Not as refined as the german diesels, but still with that sporting italian heart... something the germans, french and japanese just cant do! (and lets forget about US made cars! ) The new direction of Alfa is demonstrated by the MITO and also the new Milano out soon. Gone will be the nu,bered models, and the tri headlights ... I cannot wait for the 169 (a large sporting saloon similar to 5-series BMW) , and what it will be called. For those who purchase.... enjoy one of the most unique marques on the road!

Decided to buy A4 but...hold on to your horses, Alfa's 159 is something different from the German marquees. Test drove the 159 recently. Took 4 laps with the sales consultant near Mount Kiara highway. Mann.....the driving was totally different. You can feel the raw power and the seductive lines in and out of the car, the engine sound, the Italian leather at the price of below RM 200K.....can't compare with the other European marquees. You guys should have a go at it. Definitely a WOW factor!!!! A very unique gear system. No time to waste on the frills of non-essential items of the electronic gadgets like other cars. Concentrate on enhancing a pure driving pleasure. Test drove C-class, 320i & A4. Decided to buy A4 but…hold on to your horses, Alfa's 159 is something different from the German marquees.

230ps for most of us is ok..considering that i ony drive 86hp myvi..but looking from a sports car pov..and the price…2.2 is kinda small and expensive..i think vw golf r32 more worth to buy.[/quote]

for a start, the 159 is not a sports car, and its 185ps, and 230nm. also, the value of the car shouldnt be judged by its engine size.. if you wanna go that route, how do you justify a mercedes costing way over 200k running a 1.8 litre engine albeit supercharged?

and btw, alfa 159 = RM188,888

VW R32 =RM302,000.[/quote]

I think our friend there has gotten his cars mixed up.

I think he meant Golf GTI.

Sex on wheels.

Too bad they are FWD (damn good ones at that) but the new turbo motor would be real icing if they did bring those in.

It is actually quite good value for money, this being a full CBU. It looses nothing to the CKD Accord 2.4 and only being a few more grand more. Camry buyers are in thier own world.

As for the Brera, the only different thing from the the 159 is the rear end, but costs more about RM 100K more??? Plus useless rear seat?? Can't see the point. Alfa should have soldier on with only the GT for the coupe segment, or at least introduced a redesigned the GT, as it was a very practical coupe. Brera/Spider are a complete waste for Alfa!
