1999 Alfa Romeo GTV Lusso review from UK and Ireland
"Orgasmic"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Engine failed within days of purchase due to faulty fuel injection cut-off. The passenger door mirror has stopped working and the drivers door speaker has a detached coil.
I needed four new tyres at 9,000 miles and usually get c.22 mpg.
General comments?
Fantastic performance and an engine note to die for. This is an enthusiasts car - you need to check the oil every two weeks if you do a high mileage - but it is very rewarding to drive. There is some wind noise from the drivers door. There is no boot. Don't think of putting anyone in the back (unless they are 2' 6" tall!!) but if these matter to you, buy a Ford Transit...
