1998 Alfa Romeo 166 Lusso review from UK and Ireland
"Lovely car, always a pleasure to drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Regular repairs to both front and back suspension.
All windows condensate badly.
Uneven tyre wear can be a problem.
General comments?
Excellent power through the rev range. Use the sport mode and it's just extremely quick.
Eats up the miles on a long journey, and very comfortable.
Fuel consumption is not bad for car of its size; 27 miles to the gallon is what I have been getting. Alfa only say 22.6.
