Alfa Romeo 166 (1999-2004) Review

Category: Executive 3 out of 5

Summary of the Alfa Romeo 166 (1999-2004)

Price Range: No data available

Assets

Bold styling inside and out. Fast and sporty to drive. Good value.

Drawbacks

Chassis lacks the absolute poise, polish and refinement of the best in this class.

Verdict

A likeable, credible alternative to the usual executive herd.

Review

Reliability and Quality3 out of 5

Alfa Romeo has consistently scored very poorly in customer satisfaction and reliability surveys, but the 166 has been better than some of its other models; it was generally well-screwed together, though not entirely fault-free. Independent specialists tend to be more helpful when it comes to running a now-discontinued Alfa; do your research before buying and check your car carefully.
