2000 Alfa Romeo 166 Sportronic Lusso review from Lebanon
"Love ITALY"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
A/C fault, probably needs regasing.
Front RH Bearing changed,but I have a feeling it was a bad decision and the tyres are the real culprits.
Slight hesitation at 1500,maybe MAF.
General comments?
One of the best cars to drive in this segment and one that makes you feel you're in the driving seat.
Having owned Mercs, BMW's and Lancia's, my original belief came back to haunt me.. Any Italian car is a driver's car, specially Alfa's and the 166 even with its size, always delivers satisfaction for its elegance, power and design.
I am looking now for a nice late series spider to go with the 166 as a weekend toy.. Got to go all the way.
