Alfa Romeo GTV (96-04) - Review

Review by David Ross on
Last Updated: 06 May 2009
Coupés are all about style - something the GTV has in abundance. Despite being around since 1996 it still looks fantastic inside and out, helped by a mid-life facelift. You'll have to make sacrifices in the practicality department since the rear seats are only fit for luggage, and it's not cheap to run either with thirsty petrol engines. However it's enjoyable to drive and quick too - if you want a bit of Italian soul then the GTV could be the answer.

Equipment

Equipment is reasonably generous, and you'll get most of the equipment you want. Lusso is the fully loaded model and will have a six-speed gearbox plus all the luxury and sports kit. It was facelifted in 2003 and while at first glance the new car looks similar to the original, closer inspection reveals more angular headlights, a deeper front spoiler, a bigger, taller grille and new wheels. There's also an upgraded interior, plus fresh instrumentation, a redesigned centre console and improved fabrics.
