Hi everyone,
I'm a new member. I am looking at buying my first Alfa, a 159 auto 1.9 Diesel. I have looked at a number of cars and the 159 is stylish, practical, solid and potentially very economical. From what I have gleaned from this forum is that quality and reliability are spot on these days too.
I have owned a Subaru Liberty for 3 years and it has been a disappointment, tin-foil thin sheet metal, high fuel consumption and a surprising number of quality control issues.
If any forum member has one of these with an auto transmission, I'd be interested in the car's real-world city fuel consumption. Also, does the diesel use a timing chain like the 2.2 petrol?
Many thanks!
:)
