Alfa Romeo Romeo 166 review covering 1999 - 2005

Thursday 2 November 2006

The Alfa Romeo 166 is the car which finally put the ghost of woeful big Alfas to rest. In fact, so good was the impression created upon launch that for the first time in years, nobody could recall an "Alfa’s Last Chance Saloon" cliché being inflicted on the 166. Part of this was due to the rehabilitation of Alfa’s image by the celebrated 156 model, only a year out of the box at the time of the 166’s launch. Nonetheless, the 166 is the first big Alfa Romeo that can honestly be recommended as a used purchase, which speaks volumes about the regard in which it is held by the motor industry.
