What does this car say about you?

Stylish, original and classy

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

stylish, original and classy - once they've seen it they all want it

Would you buy this car again and why?

No, never do the same thing twice. I wouldn't go to the same place on holiday so wouldn't do the same with a 166 although I hope that this will last me for a while yet. I'll think of it as a round the world trip rather than a weekend break.

What are you likely to buy next?

Something small and fast with 2 seats.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Independent

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£3,000

When did you buy the car?

September 2006

Did you get a good deal and why?

Bought it on ebay and was very lucky

This is the ultimate big performance four door in my eyes, searched high and low to get the right one and when I did I got it for a song

What was the dealer like?

Good lad.

What's it like to drive?

Increadible, you couldn't want anything more its amazing, put your foot down and very little beats it.

What's it like to park?

Power steering and good vision.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Not yet touch wood and am hoping it stays that way

What's most practical about your car?

big motorway munching beast that cruises along at a whisper with an engine to die for when reved. Oh it has 4 doors and can fit a few sets of golf clubs into the boot when necessary

ICS and STR button...
