Alfa Romeo GT 1.9 JTD 16V M-jet 2d (2004/54) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
A lot of car for the money, but depreciation will be bad (it's an Alfa!)
Costs
Fuel consumption is poor when compared with other diesels of similar power (even GM cars that use the same engine eg Saab)
-
On the road
Driving
Overall a very enjoyable experience - I still look forward to every journey after 8 months of ownership
Performance
Very good particularly round the twisties, provided you are happy working the gearbox after hitting the 4k redline. Torque is superb & the only thing that reminds you that you are in a diesel
-
Living with it
Reliability
Past Alfa's have been poor so we'll see - main gripe is wind noise from driver's window that (according to dealer) cannot be fixed
Image
Do you really want to be yet another faceless BMW driver? Not many around and they are stunning - bellissimo
Comfort
Excellent on smooth roads, but can be a bit unsettling with bumpy roads and slow right down for speed bumps! Seats good & interior has a good quality feel about it.

Security
Hopefully won't be tested
Service
I wrote to Alfa (twice) about a couple of issues I had and they couldn't be bothered to respond - extremely unimpressed
