1997 Alfa Romeo GTV TS review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear dampers replaced under warranty due to faulty o.e. items.
Speedo went haywire at 20k.
Nearside tyre worn excessively on the inside, but dealer couldn't find anything wrong.
Squeaky brakes (dealer fitted new pads for free but they're the same).
General comments?
Best car I've ever owned.
Not as quirky and unreliable as people make out.
Great looker, handles great, but very solid suspension and '50 series' tyres pumped up to 40lb don't help matters, but all of this makes it go even faster through tight and twisty turns.
Best sounding 4 cylinder car you can buy.
