Alfa Romeo GT 3.2 V6 24V 2d (2004/54) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
List price of car when new with options was £25k. Bought the car at 6 months old with only 4k miles (ex-demo) for £19.5k thinking worst of the depreciation was over. However, I only got £14.5k for the car a year later (£11.5k depreciation in 18 months!!)
Costs
Alfa rates are expensive, especially labour (£60 per hour plus VAT!!)
-
On the road
Driving
OK, but low profile tyres and low suspension meant every bump was felt, and sounded VERY loud!
Performance
Fairly good acceleration but only 40mpg from a diesel - very disappointing.

Living with it
Reliability
The odd electrical problem meant lights occasionally flashed on the dashboard and the electric windows had a mind of their own. But the car always started first time and sounding very smooth for a diesel.
Image
A real head-turner.
Comfort
Car is very low to the ground and suspension is not stiff enough - speed bumps and pot holes need to be taken at very low speed!
-
Security and Service
Security
Tried the alarm a few times and it didn't always go off!
Service
Parts took ages to arrive and dealer wanted to charge £40 plus VAT for checking wheel alignment. Labour was also charged at £60 plus VAT - complete rip off!
