2013 Alfa Romeo 159 JTS 2.2
First, i had to apologize for my english. Sorry if is not very good.
I post few months ago about my project car. So, this is my daily car! An italian Alfa Romeo 159 JTS 2.2
Before i explain why this car is so cool for me and my country, i had to explain what’s like to live in Chile.
Chile it’s like to California or Australia of Latin America. It has a really big car market. Duty Free imports for used cars and some nice pieces of art. But here in Chile, Alfa Romeos aren’t very popular. Why? Because this is Audi Drivers and BMW Drivers place. So, Alfa Romeos are one of the most rarest manufacturers in this country, except for the mito and giulietta models.
My 159 isn’t very special, it’s a 2.2 litre 4cyl with Sport mode and some useless but cool stuff, like a semi automatic gearbox with Sport mode. But anyway, it still have Alfa’s ADN and i love this car.
Yes, i know its fragile, the gearbox feels like a porcelain jar scratching and the engine doesn’t start when it’s cold, but when you drive this car, you can really feel some nice emotions, specially at high revs :)
Cost? 10,000,000CLP, around 20000 GBP. Is that cheap for an Alfa?
PS: The car of the right it’s an Nissan Primera Camino, duty free imported from Japan xD
