    What does this car say about you?

    I'm individual and able to make my own decisions not based on all the so called experts opinions. Also, I have great taste.

    Gorgeous and sexy. Suprisingly good car and hepas of extras for the money.

    Would you buy this car again and why?

    Yes, because it has everything for a perfect driving experience and the practicalities do not pose a drawback.

    What are you likely to buy next?

    No thoughts on that at the moment.

    Franchise

    Did you buy this car new?

    No

    What price did you pay?

    £15,450

    When did you buy the car?

    January 2008

    Did you get a good deal and why?

    Yes, because they dropped the price by around £500 and threw in extras worth a further £400. The car was fully specc'd and was considerably priced compared to it not so well specc'd rivals.

    Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

    It was a far more attractive alternative than it's German counterparts. Aside from the Mazda RX8 there were no other coupes in my opinion that combined performance, looks, practicality and value for money as the Alfa GT did.

    What was the dealer like?

    Good, knowlegable and helpful.

  • Driving it

    5 out of 5 5.0

    What's it like to drive?

    Joy to drive. V6 engine is a work of art. Not so easy to drive slow as in town you rarely get out of 4th gear. Turning circle is poor. But little body roll & good acceleration.

    What's it like to park?

    Visibility awful. Without parking sensors I would shudder at the thought of parking.

    Have you had any problems with the car?

    No

    What's most practical about your car?

    Boot space is good for a coupe. Three adults felt comfortable on a long journey (despite what other reviewers say).

    Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

    Sat Nav, telephone & CD multichanger. All controlled from the steering wheel & very easy to use (unlike the climate control)
