1999 Alfa Romeo GTV V6 review from UK and Ireland

Drivers and passengers windows required adjustment due to 2 little L-shaped brackets that determine the window stop position bending over time.

Dealer will charge min 1hour labor each door, the adjustments can easily be done yourself by lifting off the interior door panel to expose the adjustment bolts (in the top of the inner door frame). Simply loosen them and re-position the brackets 1/4in lower.

The car's immobilizer would not allow the car to start the car when the battery voltage dropped below 12.5V after it had not been used for 2 weeks. Replacing the battery meant the ECU needed to be re-calibrated (according to the dealer)

The fuses/relays under the cover on the left under the bonnet are seriously prone to corrosion, another electrical fault was down to badly corroded connections.

The car is fitted with the aero-pack and looks the business. The red leather interior is high-quality and still looks superb at 88k miles. It is a joy to sit in and drive, and literally can feel rooted to the road (especially with Goodyear F1's).

Med to high speed cornering is its forte, though some tramlining under braking, and understeer in low speed corners. You really feel the low speed bumps.

The 3litre engine is awesome.

Braking is merely adequate.

Main dealers sometimes appear to lack the most basic knowledge about the range.
