    Security

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Don't shut the boot lid with battery disconnected - the battery is in the back.

    Service

    2 out of 5 2.0

    The 166 is heavy on fuel, but I got mine converted to LPG. I can't imagine what car I could get next. Integral phone, satelite navigation, the equivalent fuel cost of 45 mpg (petrol cost), electric seats, gas discharge headlamps, console control unit ...
