Alfa Romeo GTV 3.0 V6 24V Lusso 2d (6) (1999/T) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Good second hand prices, don't buy new it will half in value in 1 year buy a 2 year old one for about 13-15k good really for a mini Ferrari! Don't buy an import as it affects resale value badly.
Costs
£75 an hour at Alfa garages, extortionate! Running costs very high, fuel consumption ridiculous!
-
On the road
Driving
Should really be rear wheel drive!
Performance
Very quick in a straight line but take it round a corner and your in trouble.
-
Living with it
Reliability
Battery died but expected after 3 years major problem with throttle potentiometer, otherwise ok.
Image
Awesome, I love the image of this car, the aero kit is a must.
Comfort
Front passengers fine, back seat forget it, boot small but better if you have a repair kit rather than a spare wheel. You have to be a contortionist to get in and out so forget giving granddad a lift!

Security and Service
Security
No problems.
Service
Appalling people and service, find a good local mechanic and only go to an Alfa garage if you absolutely have to (e.g. 60,000 mile service if £450 standing charge!!!!)
