1998 Alfa Romeo GTV 6-Speed AeroKit review from UK and Ireland
"Good value if not thrashed, but great fun; not practical really though!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Starter motor Seized up (£850!).
Front tyres wore down.
Windscreen wipers were crap.
Airbag light problems.
Wind noise from around the door.
Random squeaks and rattles.
DRANK fuel.
General comments?
Stunning looks. Especially with the 17" wheels and Aero Kit, in red.
Very lively on the road with the large wheels - required concentration at speed.
Boot without wheel (an aerosol - optional) could hold a holdall or two.
Rear seats could take 1.5 adults (never found a half!).
Cornering and acceleration fantastic. Braking not as good.
Glorious engine sound - did not need the 6 disc stereo.
Over £3000 insurance.
