Extremely underated car. We need less riced up civic and more alfa on the public road.
Back in the '70s, 'heroes' on our roads were the Berlinas/Giulias/124ST and from Japan, 1600SSS and RX3. All mechanics know Webers, Dell'Ortos and Mikunis well. Hottest tyres were Dunlop SP Sport and kalo ada duit, Pirelli CN36 or Michelin XWX.
2002Tii and GTV 105s were akin to the current M4 and Maser Granturismo status wise and preserve of the well heeled.
Ferraris and Porsches...they are around but akin to seeing a Carrera GT and Enzo on our roads. Very rare.
Wow! The chassis flows beautifully through the bends. Lovely!
Alfa Romeo 159 >>> One of the Most Beautifully Designed Italian Car we still can afford in KL in 2019 ... 🙏 Thank You So Much for the Generous Lady who shared this Alfa Romeo 159 with us to Genting Highland ... 🕯🌷🌿🌍🇮🇹
Alfa makes the best looking cars! no doubt. Kudos to the owners finding a great used 159 and the guts to own one.
They are bullet proof mate. No guts required. My 159 did 130,000 miles with out a single issue.
My friend do hv a older 159 states tht the spare parts r expensive n there r less skilled mechanics tht really knows the technical details of alfa
I've got a 10 plate 2.0 diesel ti saloon in white, I use it as my daily driver, its a lovely car!
@@samram7290 where's he live? There's quite a variety of dealers in the UK. Some are good, some not so good. Much like other dealers tbh.
@@crit71 he lives in kl. But is there lack of alfa skilled mechanics in KL n what abt the spare parts?
Hi from Greece , I have one like this in red colour , I have done 360.000klm without any problems,
I love the power of the engine, the very good power steering and the suspension system.
I have and other car but I love this Alfa Romeo
Good to hear they can last that long without problems, congratulations! Did you have to replace clutch and flywheel? Or any other expensive stuff like the gearbox? do you remember at what mileage that was? I just bought a 170.000+ km one in great condition (2.0 diesel) and planning on at least doubling that :)
The MJet engines are neverending mules
nice to see a man with good taste for cars can be living anywhere in the world. I once had a 159 with a V6 and the thing was way too expensive for me to keep it so I had to sell it 6 months later but man what a beauty
Thank you Wen Pei (pardon me if I have misspelled your name) for loaning this wonderful car for Bobby to review! And thank you Bobby for taking it up to Genting! Love this car so much! What a sexy beast....looks anytime nicer than the Giulia! 😋
Loved watching this lovely Alfa review. AWESOMEEE
I love seeing videos on older cars... not only do you get to see how it’s held up over the years, it shows how far technology has come and how good the cars back than were compared to some newer cars.
It would be nice to see you have one bobby 😂, I mean it’s supposed to be in family right.
Such a good review - thank you!
The sound is really awesome. One of a kind. Nice 👍
My cousin had one with the novitec exhaust.... It was blissfull....
Tq for the great content bobby
These are beautiful cars. Even Giulietta is beautiful. Nice review!
I have similar Bella 159 white for 9 years and still running good. Clocked 289,000km and still running good.
Bro, what the cons of owning an Alfa? Many people say its high maintainnace, tempermental, etc.?
@@MyDZC My car hit 304,000km now as you said the car needs maintenance too. Every 150K mileage you need to clutch replacement which is RM4500. And every 90K mileage you need to major service which around RM2500. In order save your clutch better use paddle shift (manual). Another thing is the plastic petrol tank need change every 180K.
And dont use like this video - NEXEN tyre. Only Good Year or Michelin or can go for Toyo, Yokohama or Conti - but the big two better
Sorry to come one year late
@@MyDZC Or yes only Alfa Romeo mechanic in Malaysia - PJ Good Works Auto. !59 part still available at least out there
It is so beautiful!!!!
certainly one of my favorite episode of bobby ang☺
Just gave my son my alfa 159. Had to buy an estate( Peugeot 508 ) and alfa needed work. When he needed a car i got stuck back in an sorted a few issues. New exhaust ( fat pipes) new discs an pads. New suspension all roynd. Bit of welding. All done. Struggled a little on emmisions ( its a 2.4 l jtdm deisel turbo). Due to not being used for year and a half? New battery. Started first time! Every time. He loves the car now. Beautiful drive. 😮and still spotless interior. Timeless.
Always love this 159 & 146. But don't have the guts to own one. Clear masterpiece
Finally a local proper 159 review
About the door cards, please make sure you find someone who knows what they are doing. I have an 159 with identical spec as this one, decided to fix it and ended up worse. Forced to replace it with alcantara because they couldn't find leather of this shade of red after removing (it's not as simple as just stick it back).
Bella Macchina!.Had plenty Alfas when I was young. Alfetta/33 1.7/ 75TS/GTV6/164/164S.None ever let me down. Secret is to just drive 'em as if you stole 'em and keep on top of maintenance. Deferred maintenance is taboo for Alfistis.
Would love for you guys to test out my 159 Autodelta. Tried to get in touch with you earlier but glad you guys found a splendid specimen. And such lovely owner too!
Thank you for fulfilling my request, Brera 3.2 V6 review up next! =) Sincerely, that Alfa guy
so you're loaning him your brera 3.2? wow nice. waiting for the review soon too
@@napeenasir, unfortunately, I am based in London. i am just saying I was the alfa guy who asked him to review 159 and brera previously
Owned one before.. Really enjoyable to drive.. Just remember to change all the Lubs.. Super addictive drive
Hi choon , how is the maintenance ? Does it need service like a bimmer ?
@@clyh88 maintenance is nothing compare to BMW.. For those rubbery stuff, just use cif or those liquid that cleans wounds, it will do the job well, but u need lots of rags.. Overhaul the selespeed clutch probably is the most expensive, sin 1k+. The rest is just regular oil change, spark plugs, air filter.. That's all.. Just need to be more observant on the radiator temperature, just like any continental cars. Check the coolent level every week.... And remember to have a good set of tires.
@@choonyeanchoong6346 thank you, that's really nice to know, lovely car
I fall in love with 159
Still miss my brother's 159. Mechanically ok, but boy it looked great!
I love your passion for this car. I just need roads to drive it on without speeding tickets....
come to malaysia and thailand then! lovely roads without over draconian enforcement. and people here generally drive in a well behaved manner
You were right about carbon fibre. It feels cheap no matter how expensive it is. I never like it to be used on interior. I fell in love with this car first time saw it on magazine way back in 2004 if im not mistaken. Same as the alfa 156, love at first sight. Now with a small family, i drove the new generation mazda skyactiv. Good design with sporty gearbox, and its like a poormans alfa but with a way better fuel efficiency n reliability, atleast thats the way i felt about it.
But after what u said, yeah maybe i just need give it a go. Dont think too much n just get one!
I've said it in one of my reviews, Mazda is doing exactly what people want from alfa romeos, joy without the unpredictability
evomalaysia.com/2017-mazda-cx5-review-malaysia
Mazda 6s awesome!!
Remember this is still a manual car but comes a a hydraulic gear change. Best of both worlds. Where else can u drive a manual car w 'auto' gear change. I have to sell it due to SG car racing system. For parts, u can try to get it from SG scrap carparts dealers. Make sure use the right lubricant. Should add a heat shield around the manifolds to prevent the heat coming into the cabin.. Lovely lovely car.. So unique.. Bobby, you should do more review on used cars such as Mercedes w211, Bmw, Citroen, seat n etc...
exactly ... people got it wrong .... it is a manual with an assistant operating the clutch ... it's not an automatic
@@BobbyAngmalaysia it will be awesome if a turbo is installed onto this car... Am sure in Malaysia can do it..
@@BobbyAngmalaysia only someone who has experience driving a manual can feel the manual nature of the gearbox. when the clutched is being slipped, when the clutch fully engage, understanding how hard the actuators have to work to shift between ratios, understanding why u need to use handbrake when moving off at a slope etc..
Great video. Which year model is yours and is it petrol or diesel?
Nice car!
Yes finally! No one believes when i tell them my old 159 sportwagon handles better than any other car ive ever driven. They always say its slow lah or its fwd lah no way its any good. Thanks for finally putting them in their place. This car deserves all the recognition it can get.
People tend to hate on FWD for some reason, always saying "They're for shopping trolleys and nothing else". Even when you got cars like the Civic Type R beating out some RWD car's on the Nurburgring.
RESPECT! From a 156 Sportswagon owner... The Sportswagons are super special
I hardly ever use the Auto mode, there's so much fun playing with the flappy paddles even on normal driving conditions.
just curious about servicing and maintenance as I'm also considering a 159 :)
I also like the design of the car. Very italian design like. Are the spares parts hard to find? Any alfa specialist workshop in m'sia?
Yes u should 😊😊😊
It's a lovely car with a very simple design. No Bangle/Hoydoonk inspired flame surfacing. No sharp creases, only curves. Which makes it timeless. Abt the gearbox' upshift rearward and downshift forwards, another reason is this mimics a dog leg manual gearbox. Where 2nd is ahead of neutral, and 3rd is behind. Hence, forward to downshift and back to upshift.
Thanks for the input!
that dogleg parallel, but it's forward to shift up to 4th from 3rd! so it doesn't really explains it.
the dogleg is more for racing and to avoid drivers mistakenly shifting into 1st, it is put to the side.
Hi bobby amazing review...beautiful car and kudos to the owner of the car...she definitely has very good taste...
3.0L version of 159 was used in James Bond Quantum Of Solace car chase scene against Aston Martin DBS.
It's a 3.2, it's not a good engine, made here in australia by gm
This video has generated so much interest in the 159....I think all the second-hand units will be snapped up and the price will increase!
Not sure ... hahaha
I always admire alfa romeo's front design.. My primary school teacher used to own the 156 model. It was everyone's head turner back in 2000s. Owh yeah... U can see how much people here appreciate its deisgn n rarity BUT again how many of us willing to choose the road less taken like the lady here.. Not many. . One might have rm50k fo spend for a car will simply settle down with national cars. Cnt blame them for being boring, scary cats n etc just because they drive myvi bezza n saga. Afterall they are your viewers and sort of car enthusiasts . Its just about being practical.. Anyway a big salute to those who own alfa romeo!
Saw a brera on the road the other day. What a beauty...
next time you saw it please tell the person i wanna buy
@@BobbyAngmalaysia I took a picture of the car. Wanna dig the owner out? 😂
Alfa Romeo 159 model 2010 dgn model 2012 ada berbeza ke bos?
Bellissima 😘
Fewer and fewer car at carlist or lelong.
It seem to me really a good car with great sound.
I dont enjoy aurizn content anymore like i used to. But thank you for this, crazy under-appreciated car here in MY
Hi awak. 😆
Err ....thank you Alfa Romeo then i guess? Haha
I believe she can get parts in Singapore, there's a dealership near Alexandra Rd.
This alfa romeo 159 cockpit Would be more stunning if the steering wheel is in a wooden form just like 2004 alfa romeo 156 has
alfa romeo 156 after this bobby. the 156 handles even better.
you serious? i've driven that but the fear of it shattering apart was greater than me trying to explore it .... in fact i only drove 5/10s in this 159 .... cos it's not mine ...
@@BobbyAngmalaysia yes im serious. because stock 156 from the factory doesnt have the q2 diff. find one with the q2 and it will be very good. yeah 156 kinda feels like a go kart but it corners very well for a fwd car. hehe
Very beautiful design dashboard very European
the selespeed system is similar to one fitted in the ferrari 360, so it's happy to hold gear up to high rpm. shift point depends on throttle angle
at slow speeds it jerks like hell, but at high speeds it is perfect. the car generally feels better at speeds above 120km/h
Exactly this, Selespeed systems were based on the Formula1 system designed for the track. The faster RPM, the faster the shift is.
159 Malaysia where can fine spare part ?
I do love Alfa Romeo. Sadly no longer sold in Malaysia. Alfa Romeo do have a huge chance to shine. Show it’s potential.
🇮🇹 Italian job viva alfa romeo simply the best!!
Ακόμα και σήμερα το 159 είναι ανώτερο σε επιδόσεις από άλλα νεότερα της κατηγορίας του.
@@BlackEagle1926 έχω την 156 φοβερό! .. Το 159 τέλειο ίσως το επόμενο όταν βαρεθώ την 156...after all φίλε μου 🇮🇹 Italian job!! Εννοείται ότι η 159 βάζει πλάτη πολλούς ανταγωνιστές του..
@@petrost1468 το μόνο κακό στο βίντεο είναι ότι οδηγάει την jts έκδοση. Tbi έπρεπε να οδηγήσει. Πριν 5 χρόνια ήμουν έτοιμος να την πάρω αλλά λόγω κακού εμπόρου δεν την πήρα.
@@BlackEagle1926 το αμάξι!! Tbi! 159! Όπως κ να έχει φοβερός ο κόσμος της Alfa romeo!!
I have a 2006 2.2 Brera SV with the optional fixed glass roof 18 inch hole alloys 21,000 miles in Rosso Red. May come up for sale at the right price Exceptional Condition but I'm in the uk.
I can imagine how sexy and gorgeous your Brera looks! Too bad you are so far away!
Hi Bobby. Alfa 159 vs Mazda 3 liftback, which 1 better in handling and driving feel? Thanks
Alfa Romeo is nicer to drive immediately off the bat. But it's still inherently a FWD handling characteristic whereas the Mazda 3 appears nothing at first until you dare to explore it's limits and using lift off to dial the front in and the car's chassis almost behaves like a rear wheel drive when it comes to it's cornering fluidity
@@BobbyAngmalaysia thank u so much Bobby for your reply. Sorry i bombarded your other video with this similar question. Stay safe sifu
Bobby, if given a choice would you suggest this Alfa or the e90 325i?
Sane question in my head
325i many on the road. 159 so few.
was in the same position as you about 1.5 years ago, went with the 159
325i so there’s a 159 for me to buy as a first car HAHAH
2.2 engine?
Bobby let us know where you sent alfa romeo services ... ??? Please
send mine to Ivor Mito Ventures in USJ1
Perhaps next is Disco Volante?
Hey... where can I get that Cloverleaf air freshener???
Shoppee 🤭
Giulia Quadrifoglio next! :P
Really nice looking alfas and affordable, too. Unfortunately they put some generic general motors engine in these babies...
What's beng's daily driver
Is it also the miata?
Yupe. Mazda MX-5
Thats the facelifted one. First gen get silver aluminium panel instead of black
not really aluminium. it's plastic made to look like brushed aluminium
@@napeenasir well atleast i have real aluminium.
wait till she visits the workshop & u see bezza better or this? fire extinguisher ready! recommend her giti la ;) give her free tires la.. its actually 182hp..
Lol who doesnt know boring lives are cheap and peaceful. Hey, base jumping, cliff hanging, white water rafting all costs money too.
One of in my wish list . Volvo s60r vs alfa romeo 159 vs e39 3.0 . Help me bro 😵😵
Alfa 159 best luxury ,gorgeous looks ,unique !
Tats an Alfa....no other species can beat it!
Interestingly, there is only one 159 on sale on Carlist.
Ya man, 43k huhuhu...perodua axia range price🤣🐒
4 on mudah now
156 147 era was + is up (forward). - is down.
Hello bobby ,thanks for the great alfa 159 video = ) ....i really enjoyed it....also thanks to the humble owner ..its really a sexy italian...i m thinking of getting o one in red ...but just a little concern on its maintenance ...spare parts ...is it easy to maintain & to get the parts?
Maintenance wise its a pretty reliable machine, its just the parts you have to source from other countries
Thanks lee
Ehhh, rear aircond vents in this era. My 2001 Mercedes-Benz E-Class has that Bobby
Because E Class is a taxi ... 😂
@@BobbyAngmalaysia But it's still a Mercedes-Benz
It's JUST a Mercedes-Benz. 😂😂😂😂
@@BobbyAngmalaysia Fine, I give up. Alfa Romeos are the best
Alfa had rear air con beginning 1998, at a price of C class, not E.
My dream car right here, would rather have it than any german cars my father recommends. I'm 18 years old and in the future I would like to own one but a bit concerned about its reliability, its spare parts and all. Any advices?
Every explorer has that fear of not knowing whether they can make it back alive or not . . But into the unknown, that excitement is what keeps them alive. 🤪 just do it!
Best thing to do, join the community. Italiaauto and AROC Malaysia are both very active and have loads of helpful members.
Bobby, you can come drive my 159 1750 Ti and my Brera Spider 3.2 V6. We can go do a mountain pass or something
Oh my!!!!!! Yesss! How can I contact you?
@@BobbyAngmalaysia the only problem is I stays in South Africa, so if you are here for a visit, then we can go for a drive.
lol
Omg lol
Bobby, how's the maintenance like? Is it affordable?
More or less like european cars? Just that you need to actively seek for things, research and learn.
the parts are not that expensive, but the main problem is with those mechanic who either wanted to cheat you or they really lack of experiences. You have to change unnecessary parts in order to make it right. change absorber only cost rm 1100 one set but problem didnt solved, later change lower arm and tie rod end again cost rm 1000 .
Bobby , wondering if the owner want to sell it 😆😆, dying to own one
2nd up for me
Why they called "shooting brake" for coupe?
Brera isnt a coupe, its a shooting brake
@@BobbyAngmalaysia what are the features for shooting brake...coz merc was the first manufacture named their wagon + coupe as shooting brake
Shooting brake is more of a coupe + wagon mashed up together. For those who wants coupe with the practicality of a wagon. And nope, merc are not the first one.
34.30 + is DOWN - is UP.
5⭐ review
may i know how much is the service cost normal service ? i heard that the spare part is extremely rare in malaysia.
and they have the problem of first start in the morning
parts extremely rare, i agree. the car sold in very limited numbers here. and globally very fee markets got the 2.2 petrol version. so yeah, rare
cold start issues? nah. mine starts at first crank everytime for the past 1.5 years
I am looking forward for the cantonese review on the down hill run.
4:50-50:30 so true man
looking back, the front headlight look like a Bugatti Chiron haha!, squeeze your eyes haha
Bugatti Chiron copied this
Hahaha, true too!
Bezza owner here XD
the car is so handsome no wonder is called Romeo.
Are parts still available for this model?
yes, but scarce. don't expect to walk to workshop and have all parts ready. some you may even need to sourcr yourself from the net
i just want to know what she do for a living?
Its the same price as a Myvi. She took the more exciting route.
Bobby Ang i see but it will pricey to maintain
Daddy sponsored duh
Iman Royal nahh the current price is same as the myvi. She can afford it
@@iqbalhafiz9797 Not really. You do need to make some effort to get the right prices, but for the 159 especially, parts are not crazy expensive, and still quite easy to source.
Alfa Romeo is definitely a he the name spells it clearly but there is an exception to the gulieta 'like wise Volvo with it's Volvo badge same with super car Ferrari and lambo
It's like your Audi s4
Alfa romeo giulia please..
The 159 has the angriest look of all cars.
Timeless Design
I will choose her over the alfa😁
Someone marry this girl already!
your watch is ridcolously big for your wrist
Alfa SZ? :)
search my videos! :) actually its about time i drive the sz ... haha
@@BobbyAngmalaysia hahaha.. genting run
Front end somehow looks abit like chiron
Chiron looks like the 159 huh 😀
it's the chiron that looks like the 159. remember this came out way back in 2005 ;-)
@16:59 hahaha bobby
The biggest problem of 159 is... the existence of Brera.
yeah only IF you can find a brera for sale
We do in Hong Kong. And people here don’t like Brera much as it eats fuel and is not practical as 159 - the backseat is useless. As a Brera owner I can’t see a counterpart here
