Alfa Romeo GTV 2.0 TS 16V Lusso 2d (1999/T) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Sidlow Alfa dealership lied to me about the slow depreciation value of my car. They must have said anything to agree to an HP scheme.
Costs
A bit of a petrol guzzler, but if you don't do a lot of mileage it's not a huge problem. Servicing and parts could set you back loads especially after 25k miles.

On the road
Driving
Great handling on the flat. Good twists and turns in windy roads. Pile of rubbish uphill!
Performance
Very good. Although it could do have been better on 0-60.

Living with it
Reliability
Ok until it starts developing weird faults - none of which is easy to solve by mechanics.
Image
Superb! Everybody thinks I'm loaded (little do they know, eh?).
Comfort
For the driver, great. For the front passenger Ok-ish. For the rear passenger, better remove legs before entry.
