Alfa Romeo 166 2.5 V6 24V 4d (1998/S) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
More gadgets than a gadgeted up gadget thing.
Costs
Fuel economy poor and drinks oil. Specialist non main dealer keeps cost down a bit. That's the trade off for buying a heavily depreciated car.

Driving
Good, but low headroom means leaning seat back, so a bit far from stearing wheel for me. Typical Alfa, but getting better.
Performance
Lacks low torque, goes well when revved. Slighly dissapointing.

Living with it
Reliability
Alfa engines always good. Everthing else seems to be keeping up with it, so far at least. Few bulbs gone.
Image
It is a bit of a pose, but I think it's gorgeous from every angle. All it lacks is rear wheel drive to be a proper Alfa.
Comfort
