  Alfa Romeo 166 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Alfa Romeo 166 is an executive car produced by the Italian automaker Alfa Romeo since 1998.
The 166 was the replacement for the Alfa Romeo 164, and though the 164 had had styling that was far from orthodox, the odd-looking 166 with its drooping headlamps and pointed nose still raised many eyebrows.
The 166 underwent a substantial revamp in 2003.

 Alfa Romeo 166 3
Alfa has no figures to suggest what kind of advantage it gives you, but I can’t see any point in it.
The 166 is now a good-looking car with a lot of go in it, but despite having four doors it’s only got the space and practicality of a large coupé.
One other thing to remember is that residual values for the 166 have traditionally been poor, and although the facelift may improve its initial attraction, it takes more than that to turn a car’s fortunes around.

 2005 Alfa Romeo 166 Turismo Review - Carsurvey.org
Honed driving experience combined with generally sound, but occasionally flawed packaging- space in the rear is minimal, indicators are positioned too low and the 'Integrated Control System' is not as logical as it could be.
The 166 is one of the few cars I can fit in- I'm 6ft5 and can get confortable- I have just enough leg room and head room.
The dealer is about to sort out the brakes (I picked up the issue on the test drive and they were meant to have sorted these before I picked the car up but hey ho).
