Alfa Romeo GTV 3.0 V6 24V Lusso 2d (1998/R) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Costs
I didn't buy it to save money and it hasn't. Gets about 320 miles from a full tank. Prone to expensive bills. It came with soft Pirellis which needed replacing about once a month.
-
On the road
Driving
Excellent handling, particularly on twisty roads.
Performance
Goes like a rocket and will still kick at 130.
-
Living with it
Reliability
Has needed transporting home three times in six years
Image
It's an Alfa! Not the prettiest car ever but looks good in rear-view mirrors.
Comfort
Front seats are rock-hard and not shaped to match any known human being. Anyone small enough to fit in the rear seats (under 10s) won't be able to see out.

Security and Service
Security
Don't know. Hasn't been nicked yet.
Service
I have always had it serviced at D&J, an independent in Leighton Buzzard. They're excellent. The only time it went into an Alfa main dealer, they botched the work so badly that the cylinder head melted. £3000 to fix!
