Alfa Romeo GTV 3.0 V6 24V Lusso 2d (1999/V) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
More power, style and mystique than both the Boxter and the TT, for two thirds of the price... oooh sir!
Costs
Service costs aren't as bad as you might think - before 60k and 72k are quite expensive. Tyres cost around £130 each. You get around 270 miles for £45, depending on how you drive.

Driving
Fantastic. Nothing else to say.
Performance
Mmmmm... nice to drive slow, but equally nice when she's up near the redline - and it gets there fairly quickly. 0-60mph in 6.7 secs.

Living with it
Reliability
No problems as yet. Keep checking the oil - it needs to be always on the full level. Alfas do burn a bit of oil, but it's just the nature of the engine. I check my oil level once a week.
Image
People can't take their eyes off it - including me!
Comfort
I am 6' 2", so it's a bit cramped - my head brushes the roof. No real problem, though.

Security
Coded immobiliser seems ok, touch wood.
Service
N/A. I take mine to Monza Sport and would advise you to do the same.
