Jonathan,

I agree, I have 2 164s in daily use and a princess in the driveway. 164s 
are tough, forgiving and car carry their weight. I find the suspensions 
clever and simple, most major systems to be durable and 150-200K miles an 
expectation, not an exception. If you sort out the bugs upon purchase, they 
are great long distance cruisers.

Like most Italian cars, getting there requires some maintenance, but the 
overall reward is worth it (even after having one towed home last night).
