You only have to take one look at the 159 to know where it comes from. The evocative heart-shaped grille, sharply tapered bonnet and classic detailing are pure Alfa Romeo. As a result, the saloon still turns heads, despite being more than three years old.The retro charm offensive continues on the inside, where the old-fashioned dashboard is angled towards the driver. It features traditional touches, including deep-set analogue dials and circular air vents, while the curved design ahead of the front passenger frees up legroom. In luxurious Lusso trim, the 159 also gets classic ribbed leather upholstery and a handsome three-spoke steering wheel.As a result, the Alfa creates a sporty and desirable driving environment which the SEAT simply can’t match.
