Teslas arent about character.... They are intended to get you from A to B cheap (not the initial investment, but the running costs), relaxed and reliable, while cars like the Alfa are for sunny weekend cruises on twisty back roads. I drive a model 3 as a daily, which is a great car imo, but my heart also beats for light cars, with a good sound and manual transmission.
@@J2105HD as a previous owner I have to say, yes it does. Breaks my heart till this day that I had to sell it bc it's a beautiful & fun car. But its true
This car is not very fast but it is absolutely epic to drive. Seating position, handling, looks, interior and of course engine! Busso V6 is one of the best engines to ever go in mass production. If only this car was RWD forget everything else.
I love the styling of the 166, and who can resist the beautiful V6 engine & exhaust notes? Such a shame that Alfa is no longer making a full-size saloon like the 166, due to profit/sales considerations. For me, the 166 remains one of the most beautiful modern-day Alfas.
My dad has had not one, but two of these beauties... The first like the one in the video and then the restyling. Sadly, both were diesel but still, strong engines.... especially the 2.4mjet 20v 185cv. Ah the memories!!
@@jutjub22 you probably never had one, otherwise you wouldn’t express such incredibly immature and stupid opinion. We have 8 cars in the family of which two are Alfa’s and they run better than the usual VAG products, for example.
@@xandeo I had one, 147 model, and close friend has 3. Out of those 4, 3 engines died, crazy. Possibly issue with petrol engines (twin spark). diesel one is ok JTD. Also with 1750tbi 2012, engine failure happened 3 times in 2 years. And in general nothing special with alfa, just outside look is nice, and usually brakes are pretty good. Ride quality, interior, not much really, feels and drives like Fiat to me with some nice details. I do not understand love for it, but to each his own. That is my experience. probably some engines are better than others, but still. Maybe yours are still new, judge it once it is 5-10years old, then quality plays big factor.

@@shazboz Not the same cars, at all, FWD works great for a hot hatch or a sedan, but for a large sedan with a V6, made by Alfa, a brand known for its RWD, I'm sorry but for me it doesn't work. It's like a FWD BMW, and as a petrolhead, that's an heresy.
@@patrickvoortman1422 bruh it literally happens all the time. When you go to the mechanic to fix the issue of one warning lamp and drive out another one pops up. A really beautiful and special car but unreliable af
@@darkking2152 unreliable AF? You are so wrong my friend! I have owned brands like VW, Mitsubishi, Ford, Fiat and now i have Alfa Romeo and BMW and i can tell you, the most reliable cars i had was the Mitsubishi Space Star, the Fiat Uno and now the Alfa Giulia... all the owners who i know with alfas are very happy with their cars, the only people i see talking the alfas are unreliable are people who never owned one... i can give you a lot of examples of "premium" brands with a lot of serious chronic problems with their engines... why people don't talk about this?? 🤔🤔
@@Brunoperes_88 I've owned a 2001 alfa 166 2.0 twin spark. I had a fair share of cars from multiple brands and the Alfa was the most unreliable by far. Even every mechanic I've gone too said the same thing. There are hundreds of forums about the Alfa unreliability. Most unreliable cars are italian, then french/german/american which is interchangable imo. Most reliable by far are japanese/korean cars. But feel free to have your own opinion
Geil. Alles unter 3.0L is nix. Finde ich persönlich auch, das man das nicht zu oft zeigen sollte. Solche 2L Dosen sieht man ja überall. Auch so nen kack GTI der hinten knallt, wie wenn ich auf ne Pfanddose trete. Bitte mehr Videos, von Fahrzeug ab Hubraum Klasse 3L. Natürlich darf es auch liebend gern mehr Hubraum sein😉
Something like 100 000 166's were produced so maybe 40% of them are survived, then we minus the 2,0 TS, 2,4 JTD and then we speak about wery small numbers.

The 166 is one of the cars that i have been waiting to see on this channel.
Busso engine should have respect from every petrolhead ...
One of best sounding v6
Best v6
@super hessu Dont forget the vg30dett
@super hessu The KL-ZE is trash ? Oh my, you have no idea what you're talking about.

Italian engineering masterpiece, and such a great busso classic sound!

That's induction noise. Something 99% of car enthusiasts seem to have forgotten about...
What a sound! That engine likes to spin high!
gotta love a busso v6 :) can't wait for the review.
Bitte mehr von solchen "Youngtimern" - Super-Cars kann jeder und ist mit der Zeit langweilig...
Ansonsten top Kanal.
True that!
More oldies please!
Beautiful exterior design, beautiful sounding V6. So very lovely this car!
Thank you man for this alfa... My first car was alfa 145 boxer engine...make more tests with this busso beauty... Real petrolhead car
Yeah, it is my son's car, Gregory's. He has the Alfa virus from his Dad (yes that is me). The Busso is the greatest engine!
Sunds great!! Stock exhaust on it or a bit tuned?
My dad has had not one, but two of these beauties... The first like the one in the video and then the restyling.
Sadly, both were diesel but still, strong engines.... especially the 2.4mjet 20v 185cv.

Exactly the same for me!
My dad had the 3.0 V6 and 2.4 diesel. Diesel was alright, but the petrol one was a BEAST.
@@HABO2210 we had a bored up 164 3.5 V6 when I was young so I had to watch this video 😅
Crazy engine sound 🎺
Never owned a Alfa Romeo but will own one in the futre
Better not :), you know what they say about Alfa owners, they I happy two times, once when they buy it, and once, even more, when they sell it.
@@jutjub22 it's not that bad, just hope he doesn't have to work on it because the alfa are a pain in the ass to work on

Greetings to Greg from his spanish twin 166!
Aaah Peio my Inst friend!!
@@ElGregor1944 best 166 of Instagram!! (At least now hahahaha)
Big respect for this video !
it looks better than the latest models of bmw!this has style!
This car is mad, just adore it!
Whenever i see this car, it has that futuristic look. Such an amazing car, definetly buying one, if i ever find one here in tunisia...
Best sounding V6 of all time
As examples go, that is utterly stunning!
That... Is a symphony.

I love these Italian machines
AR166 Busso - so nice to see and listen :)
Aaaaa V6 melody..🥰
Fucking hell mate what a sound fuck we need more of this seems to me that it handles so well
Almost bought this car. In the end I bought Volvo S80 T6. But when I hear the symphony of this engine, I regret it! :-D
I ve been waiting for this video all my life 🤣. In Russia very expensive cost for this used cars
Love your videos
Yes
Great machine Sound
Nice vidéo !!! V6 busso great caracter 😄
Absolute beauty
I have this car. I love It. Is beautifull and very original line. The engine is fantastic. Not so good the little particular too much delicate
Yeah, memories! Great car
dat induction noise maan

Alfa romeo the best car 🚗🔥
I'd be nice to also test an Alfa SZ, a Lancia Delta Integrale and a Lancia Hyena.
Something about an Alfa Romeo makes you wanna do naughty things with it
Topseed video please!
Aaah, that Busso V6, too bad it's FWD, still an exceptional car and very reliable for an Alfa
nothing wrong with FWD. Honda, Renault and Hyundai are great examples!
@@shazboz Not the same cars, at all, FWD works great for a hot hatch or a sedan, but for a large sedan with a V6, made by Alfa, a brand known for its RWD, I'm sorry but for me it doesn't work. It's like a FWD BMW, and as a petrolhead, that's an heresy.
@@shazboz Alfa was born as RWD car... they became FWD after Fiat owned them and almost destroyed the Alfa brand
@@bluesun_0 156 and 166 have passive rear steering. You really can’t compare them to regular fwds
Next Alfa Romeo giulla please
No highway...You drove too little. I want more!
I like the 164 more
Try Renault laguna coupe 3.5 v6
My dream car...
This is a great car!!! But those headlamps are funny 😂😂😂
Graet memories
Busso engine ❤️
The Alarm was saying
"Its show time" on Alfa Romeo language
beautiful
Nice, but you need more time on gt5 to train you heel&toe dynamics
classic car for old people
sucha nice car !
:)
CAN YOU TEST ALFA ROMEO 145 BOXER THEY ARE VERY LOUD?
Much prettier than newer Alfa.
Pls alfa romeo 156 2.0 twinspark 155 hp
Love this caaar
166 3.0 busso seems faster than 159 3.2jts of your previous video.. and that's sound is eargasm
3.2jts is opel carbage busso for the win
That 3.2 didn't seem very healthy tbh, they normally go better than that
An Alfa without at least one warning light on in the dashboard is not a real Alfa ;-)
And ur not a real alfa lover if you let that happen 😉
@@patrickvoortman1422 bruh it literally happens all the time. When you go to the mechanic to fix the issue of one warning lamp and drive out another one pops up. A really beautiful and special car but unreliable af
The 2 light are: empty tank, almost common with V6 🤣 and ESP is off so no electronics. No faults on the car :)

Are they popular in your place?
@@dominiksruk2855 Not popular, but in here 6/10 166 is an TS. It's not a bad engine. In 166 it's just too weak.

260
