Alfa Romeo 1999 GTV

Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

  • Economy

    Value

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Got mine 4 years old with 40k on the clock - one hell of a machine for just over 7 grand.

    Costs

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Have a brilliant specialist near-by (DTR Sports) who did my cam-belt and annual service for under £600. Worth spending the cash to keep the car in peak condition, crime not to.

  • On the road

    Driving

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Does fly around corners, in real-world driving the car does everything you ask of it.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Since using Optimax I have noticed quite a difference, much better off the line. I just love changing down to third on those dual carriage-ways!

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    4 out of 5 4.0

    No problems yet, send your money up-front on decent servicing and you should be in a good position.

    You have got to love it, in metallic blue it looks seriously sexy and much more exotic than the sales-rep style 3 series. Much prefer it to jelly-mould TT too, its a proper sports car rather than a concept gone mad.

    Comfort

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Great up front - back seats and boot plenty of space for two and can easily accommodate golf clubs.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Nothing untoward as of yet, I think that I could break into the windows with a tea-spoon if I tried, but alarm is pretty effective.

    Service

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Don't use manufacturer, look for specialist.
