Alfa Romeo 166 (2004-2006) Review

Category: Executive 3 out of 5

Summary of the Alfa Romeo 166 (2004-2006)

Price Range: No data available

Assets

3.2 V6, dynamic drive, equipment

Drawbacks

No diesel, depreciation, maligned dealer network

Verdict

A credible alternative to the Peugeot 607 and Renault Vel Satis, but not in the same league as the BMW 5-Series, Mercedes E-Class or Audi A6.

Review

Used Value4 out of 5

Secondhand buyers ahoy: this is a lot of car for the money. High depreciation (loss in value) and a general lack of awareness/fear of Alfas among used buyers mean that even low-mileage, top-spec 166s come up very cheap. It's much better value for money than a comparable German executive car, though of course, you won't get much back yourself when you sell on.
