SuperLusso V6 24v
Strength:
Beautiful body shape, much enhanced by the right alloy wheels. Engine character and power, very assured handling, high-quality leather interior.
Weakness:
Chews through front tyres; very sensitive to wheel alignment. The car has been very reliable, although I have had it properly serviced. But I just love this car for its looks, handling and poise at speed. The engine has a wonderful V6 growl under acceleration but is quiet enough at sustained crusing speeds. The combination of low aerodynamic drag and high power make it feel like it's straining at the leash. Mine sits on lowered suspension and corners like a go-kart. The leather interior is of high quality and is very comfortable. This is my second 164; I owned the older 12-valve model for three years previously. Similar Products Used: Previous to my 164's I had a new BMW 520i for 3 years, which was very smooth, stable and comfortable, with beautifully-weighted steering. I enjoyed it but the Alfa has that hard-to-engineer quality called 'soul'. I intend to keep mine for years yet. |
