1996 Alfa Romeo GTV TS Lusso review from UK and Ireland
"Stunning motor"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Absolutely nothing, although the air conditioning needs a re-gas.
General comments?
I love my GTV, it looks great, drives great, and sounds great!
I had a 146 Ti 2.0 TS previously, I loved that until an accident, (not my fault), sadly ended it's life.
Therefore I was forced to buy the GTV, as I couldn't get a lesser car, and already had owned the best of the rest, (in non-GTA Alfa terms).
My GTV was far better than I had thought, it just seems to hug the road everywhere!!
The leather interior looks very nice and is also extremely comfortable for a 2+2.
The dash layout is superb, the angle of the fuel gauge etc. is just inspirational.
It's engine is lively and has the best note you could ask for.
The rear seats are stupidly small, only big enough for a couple of 5 year olds!! But who wants to carry extra weight with passengers when you have an exhilarating sports coupe!!!
