Brake Cable ruptured. The car has sports lowering and I scraped it on the driveway.
The car has a fair top speed, but slightly weak acceleration.
It has to be the most comfortable car I have ever owned.
Alfa has indeed changed since the days of the 70s.
The car purrs sweetly and runs smoothly.
The 8cm LCD screen looks impressive and the sat-navigation is a fantastic feature.
Alfa needs to up the power and performance on the car so it can compete with the top range Saab's and Beemers.
Fantastic to drive with great brakes.
This car is the single greatest vehicle I have ever owned.
I recently purchased a 166 that also had a lowered 'sport' front end, and scraped mine too. It was also bumpy to drive and had worn out a CV joint and wishbone, so I immediately had the stock springs fitted and worn out suspension bits replaced. It drives like a completely different car now. Fantastic! The work cost 600 pounds, but it was the best 600 quid I ever spent. It helped that I had only paid 2,800 for the car to begin with. Best car I've ever driven. Used 166's are incredible value for money, and unique-I still haven't seen another one in the few weeks I've had mine.
