Alfa Romeo GT (04-10) - Review

Review by Ben Wall on
Last Updated: 06 May 2009
The sophisticated GT coupe is every inch a proper Alfa Romeo and although it may be overshadowed by the newer Brera, it's still a good choice. Stunningly good looking it has a great interior and is available with some excellent engines, including a diesel. It may not be the best coupe of this size to drive, but it’s great value for money on the used market. Charisma is much in abundance for the enthusiast and it's been pretty reliable so far - something that's not always been the case for Alfa Romeo.

Gorgeous Alfa looks, great diesel option, surprisingly practical, good to drive

Rear visibility is poor, gearbox is a letdown, cabin quality could be better
