Fiat Group query

Not totally Fiat but I was wondering if anyone has driven or indeed owned an Alfa Romeo 166?

I was enticed by the depreciation and was tempted to snap one up to enjoy the luxury at peasant rates.

Particularly the 3.0 I'm interested in.

Liam

Re: Fiat Group query

Liam, do it, you won't regret it. That is if you can live with bill petrol and service bills... The 166 is one of my favourite of the recent Alfas. Check out www.alfaowner.com/forum if your after advice on these cars.

Now wasn't that helpful...

Re: Fiat Group query

Have been toying with the idea of a second car but was looking for some info on them 1st, I'd post up the names of other contenders but I wouldn't hang around to see the response!

If they are non-Italian then forget about it!

Thumbs up Re: Fiat Group query

Go for the 3.0 V6 super...

this is 3.0 manual, as other V6 manual is 2.5, personally i would avoid the 3.0 V6 tiptronic as any repairs cost a lot on this Gearbox

These go really well and handles as good as a car this size can being FWD.

These are such a steal at the moment, and the amount of car plus luxury you get for your money... make sure the ICS unit works 100 % as this controls nearly everything.

Re: Fiat Group query

Is the 2.0 sluggish?

Is the "ICS" the digital thing in the dash like the BMW "I-Drive"?
