IS ALFA 159 IS THE SEXIEST CAR??

[Vtim]

if I'm the 1st owner. the engine will be in tip top condition

 

but if I owned it, I wouldn't be selling it lah

[Chrispie]

I wonder how is the FC for other bro's 159.. it seems that for me (at least what the computer tells me), i cannot be too light footed.. it actuall uses more petrol.. rev considerably and the efficiency actually gets better.. true?

[Magfocus]

Depends also what you mean by tip top I think it means the lack of carbon build up..

[Count_dukulangsat]

Not true...if rev more, use more fuel. One time, I tried to use only gears 1 to 5 (avoid gear 6) and change gear at high RPM - can only travel 480km on full tank. Usually can travel about 550km.

[Chrispie]

Last time i monitored, i topped to full tank, and drive normally.. and when warning lights turns on, it was at the last 1/8 of the tank. By then, i travelled about 500km total.

 

When u say on full tank, does that means when fuel warning light turns on or when needle reaches the bottom? Assuming both our warning turns on at the last 1/8 of the fuel gauge, your mileage of 480 or 550 is the distance traveled until which level?

[Count_dukulangsat]

Travelled 480 and 550km is when the needle touches the bottom most marker (the fuel light would've lighted for a while already). I think there is a reserve tank after that, so it is safe.

[Vtim]

of course cannot have carbon buildup lah, Alfa engine are meant to be driven hard, very hard

[Magfocus]

..which you translate that theory to every car you have, alfa or not..

[Chrispie]

This morning, went to my car.. there was rain so was happily drying it.. until... i reach the front right wheel housing. Someone drove into my car and ran off. So now the housing is dented, and front bumper scratched with chunks of pain taken off.

 

I will need to go for panel beating plus spray now. its been barely a month i got the car! Any recommendation for alfa cars?

 

That bloody driver... curse his whole family die.

I think more than just cars and bikes also..

[Vtim]

now that you mention it, when my kids were in their strollers, it move faster than others, sometime I'll just give it a push, so that it will be much ahead of us and just walk to it and repeat it as long as there is a clear passage in from of us. If there is heavy traffic, we will do our very best to "maneuver" out of the human "jam", whenever wife & I are in the shopping mall

[Damienic]

Sorry to hear of your misfortune...this people really too much...but then I think you should not curse his family as it was his mistake alone and his family is innocent...
