What is it like to drive 159? How big is the difference between 156 and 159? I know that many people have complained about Opel gearbox in 159 and 2.0 jtd engines. On the other hand, 1.9 jtd engines are indestructible, especially the one you have with 8v. However, I have to admit the front end on 159 is absolutely spectacular. As for the sound, it's quieter, at least on my phone. All the best Bojan
Hey, so I would say that 159 is much more comfortable, refined, more quiet and you can also feel the weight of 159 while driving, where 156 is so light and nimble so you can throw it around more and you can feel the chassis dancing much more than in 159; still 159 drives really well and hides its weight in corners surprisingly well. The 2.0 jtdm is still very similar to 1.9 so I would say its very reliable. The gearbox in 159 is worse than the one in 156; however, you can still get used to it and shift quite smoothly. The 159 gearbox needs regular oil changes and sometimes it will still require to be repaired. The looks of 159 are amazing I think 159 in sportwagon is the most beautiful wagon ever produced. Thanks for the comment on the sound, I will need to work on it a little bit, but I think the sound is much better than just on the action4. Cheers and all the best!
very cool, you can post more videos with the 159 (:
That's the plan, its a great car and I really enjoy driving it. Cheers!
