Alfa Romeo GTV 2.0 TS 16V 2d (2000/W) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Bought mine second hand and think it was great value.
Costs
All servicing carried out by a local independent. I buy my parts from the trade or through the internet and save money!!! This is cheap motoring if you shop around.

On the road
Driving
For a front wheel drive car I think this is a fantastic handling car. It really does corner well and yes, the ride can be a bit firm but you should expect that for this type of car.
Performance
Based on the 155bhp TS unit it is not bad. Obviously plenty of cars these days will blow it off the road. The good thing is that every one of those 155 horses just wants to be used all the time. And as many people have said....the noise....oh the noise!

Living with it
Reliability
Electrics, electrics, electrics. No need to say much more. Except that no matter what goes wrong you will still love them. Why is that...well they just get in your heart!
Image
EVERYONE will think the car is worth far more than it really is. Only 6000 sold in the UK so pretty exclusive even compared to Boxters etc.
Comfort
No complaints. Fronts seats very comfortable and spacious. Anyone who says the rear seats are too small. Well yes we all know. Buy an estate if that's what you're after!

Security and Service
Security
No problems. Alarm, immobiliser, locking wheel nuts, etched windows.
Service
Can't really comment as have used independents. Although from 'phoning them I wouldn't like to be paying their service prices.
