If I wasn't trying to dump debt....
A friend of mine - the guy who got me interested in 164s also had a GTV and with a non-stock exhaust it sounded pretty good. Not like a V6 or anything, but a nice throaty bark and obviously Italian.Originally Posted by Random
Oh, I'm sure the 4-cyl drives fine, but it just doesn't have that Italian V6 sound.
And now I find myself looking at loaded 166 3.0s...
Gorgeous car for sure and super comfortable. Not the same drive as a RWD V6 model...
Or you could buy something that will actually start and move when you want it to. You know, like a Japanese car.
I never had a single mechanical problem with my GTV6 or Milano (Type 75). My 164 had three problems - a failed cam sensor at 105k, a failed coolant temp sensor *connector* at 110k, and a failed AC compressor at 102k. All three were excellent cars.
Edit: I lied - the Milano lost a rubber brake line sometime around it's 20th birthday.
You live in California, not in England.
I don't get it - what does geography have to do with reliability?
If anything, living in Europe at least means access to parts. *That* was why I ended up getting rid of them all.
The weather, man.
I am seriously not getting how a Japanese car is better suited to UK weather.
