1998 Alfa Romeo 166 review from Belgium
"Like Alfa Romeo says: Cuore Sportivo"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Only a few problems which are normal for the first generation of every new model.
For example: I had a problem with the central locking.
Also with a button to handle the computer-screen, which is standard in the car.
All this was replaced under the guarantee.
General comments?
This car is really the best I have ever had.
Very good performance.
Very good comfort.
A pleasure to ride with it.
I find that Italian cars always have something special and lovely, and that feeling will never disappear.
I will stay a FIAT-GROUP member for always.
Many people think still that Fiats and Alfa Romeos are still like in the years of 1960-1970, but I can assure you that they really changed.
