My aunt had one she took over payments from a friend of hers that said it was just to fast and uncontrollable. My aunt at the time was driving a 1970 monte carlo with a 427 so she had very little fear of anything automotive. Long story short the day she brought it home we all just kinda starred at it. My granpa asked her do you drive it or fly it. In 1989 that car was out of a science fiction book. Hers even had a cd player and the grip it had in the corners was amazing in that era. The only problem was mechanics would splash themselves with holy water and run for there lives when they saw it. I guess it was just way ahead of its time. It had what we call today active driving dynamic settings. Antilock brakes the transmission was in the back of the car like our modern day corvettes. Alfa out done themselves on that one..

I still own a manual Alfa 164 year 1994. Those pesky road tax over here makes driving this 3 litre car very costly. Otherwise it is a beautiful car to run. The body works is good and so does the paintwork. Power plant is fantastic though cannot be compared with the current technologies of other makes. A beauty that stands by itself.

É foda.Aqui no brasil,carro bom não presta... A Fiat não sabe lidar com as subsidiarias,mas o problema maior é o despreparo de certos mecânicos em lidar com Alfa. Na Argentina,se vê uma Alfa a todo momento nas ruas. Buenos Aires foi a cidade onde mais vi Alfas,principalmente 164,155,146,147 etc... Enquanto isso,aqui no Brasil,muita gente nem sabe que marca é Alfa Romeo,quando eu digo qual é a minha marca favorita.

The thing is, shortly after Quentin "2 Ls" Willson broadcast this review, you couldn't find a secondhand 164 for love nor money. Something similar also happened when he plugged the Vauxhall Senator 3.0 24v as another ideal used car.

when was this video produced? I do think Alfa Romeo should split the engine, transaxle as a selling point.

Indeed...in fact SAAB was horrified by the awful quality of the 164s body
