2005 Alfa Romeo GT JTD review from UK and Ireland
"A beautiful 'Dolphin' like exterior that looks stunning and handles with fiery Italian passion"
General comments?
The look of this car is probably its best feature. It really gets stared at as people can see it is a luxury car, but are not quite sure what it is!
Diesel engine is very quiet especially when driving and when the engine is warm.
Bose stereo system gets slagged off by some 'audiophiles' but I think for a factory sound system it is really very good. You must hear it to understand this.
Ride is actually very smooth with 17" alloys. These are a must as they contribute to the car's beauty.
Apparently Alfa Romeo are struggling to make the 1.9 JTD GT quick enough to make orders. I had to wait months for mine and hopefully this will bode well for residuals.
Finally, after waiting so long for my car I half expected it to be a bit of an anti-climax. Not so, this car is just 100 times better to drive and sit in than I remember from my many test drives.
