1997 Alfa Romeo GTV TS 16v Lusso review from UK and Ireland
"Stunning to look at and great to drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The idle actuator switch went, costly, but it was fixed under warranty and then it failed its first MOT (emissions) because the lambda sensor had been damaged by stones flying up into the bay, bad luck I guess.
But apart from these small hiccups it runs perfectly.
General comments?
Still get a big smile when I drive it, fantastic handling and it looks gorgeous. Hopefully will trade up to a 3.0 V6 or wait for the new model in 2003.
