1995 Alfa Romeo 164

European luxury

By Stiffroot (CA) on Thursday, December 06, 2012

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 100,000

Pros: "For a sedan it is very sporty and fast"

Cons: "A lot of electrical, alarm is tricky"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

"Even tho this car is old, it is amongst the nicest I have owned. I would not sell it for what they say it is worth. It handles very well, gets good mileage, very reliable, never breaks down. It has power everything, which I thought would be a problem...so far so good. I will keep this car until it gets a decent burial!"

Not your routine sedan

By Owen (NY) on Friday, October 14, 2011

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 97,000

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

"Great fun to drive, just the right amount of power. Extremely responsive and road holding. They really made an effort to avoid the legendary Italian rust curse. Not one bit anywhere, and it spent its entire life in the salt zone. Keep an eye on the timing belt maintenance and you will have a very long lived car."

A jewel

By giacomo (Saint Paul MN) on Monday, January 18, 2010

"I purchased this new in 1994. I have loved it every minute since then. The design, though NEW SCHOOL, back then still works, Pinanfarina brought us into the future on this one, It had many carry-over elements of the Testarossa which had just been designed. My only complaint is the plastic looking underskirts. The interior is a lesson in Italian craftsmanship. The engine is as beautiful as it is capable. The handling is s responsive and the ride is supple over bad pavement yet the car goes where you point it. The front wheel drive does cause a bit of understeer when accelerating on the back half of a curve."

Terrific car

By lvmyalfa in Oklahoma (Edmond Oklahoma) on Tuesday, March 31, 2009

"Purchased the 1993 164L new. Still runs great and we have a terrific mechanic although he gets very little business from us. Reliability has been amazing - we were accustomed to Audi's and their continuous problems. Not an issue with Alfa, still get lots of questions and looks from others. Look forward to the return of Alfa to US"

Always a big smile

By alfaguzziguy (Los Gatos, CA) on Wednesday, July 02, 2008

"Sold this car once and bought a 97 BMW 528. Loved the 528 but the 1995 164Q kept haunting me. It came up for sale about 2years ago and I bought it back. I've owned over 60 cars in my life but this one just put's a big smile on my face (except when something goes wrong, but it doesn't often enough to ruin it) everytime I fire it up with the Magnaflow I put on it. 150K miles and doesn't burn any oil and if fast as stink. If you can get one, do it."
