1999 Alfa Romeo GTV V6 review from UK and Ireland
"Looks outstanding and performs even better than hoped."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Some electrical problems (airbag light, wipers at low speed), noises at rear suspension.
Fuel mileage can go quite low if used in a sports way.
General comments?
The car is absolutely stunning and drives better than expected. Easily tuned, it can leave behind cars such as Porsche Boxster and (if you dare) can go up to and above 160mph.
Definitely a great purchase, if you are willing to accept a lack of boot space, a consumption that is not exactly low and occasional electric problems (that can be solved easely by your dealer anyway).
Always take it with the 3years/60000miles extended factory warranty.
