Alfa Romeo 164 2.0 TS Super Lusso 4d (Airbag) (1997/P) Owner Review

Economy
Value
Bought ours at 2 years old for £8.5k - huge amount of car for the money, but see next.
Costs
Wild depreciation. We worked it out at something like 200 quid a month!

On the road
Driving
For its size, it's unbelieveable - I'm really missing it!
Performance
Loads of oomph. Very happy at 4000 revs. Likes to be pushed.

Living with it
Reliability
The engine never missed a beat. Needed all 4 discs replacing straight after we bought it. Had warranty.
Image
I think they still look great - getting quite rare.
Comfort
Huge cabin, great (heated) seats - lovely on a winter morning. Excellent space in rear. 3 adults in comfort. Nice lighting.

Security
Hard to say. It was never stolen...
Service
Arnold Clark in Edinburgh (Gorgie) told us it needed a new rear cross-member - two other MOT stations said it didn't...
