1998 Alfa Romeo GTV review from UK and Ireland
"Ferrari style with Ferrari reliability"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Jack collapsed on first use.
Various suspension rattles and shakes.
Wiper motor failed.
Many minor issues with trim and electrics.
General comments?
Nothing short of a Ferrari looks or sounds better on the road.
Fabulous engine, good steering, but nose heavy to drive.
Numerous minor problems detract from the ownership experience.
Go for the 2 litre for a better balanced car.
