Styling is unmistakably an Alfa: bold and confident. Superb choice of engines. Legendary badge.
Cheaper alternatives; dubious reliability; tiny rear seat and near- hopeless boot.
Fabulous to look at and drive, and relatively easy to own (for an Alfa). A true Italian coupe.
Not a problem to drive fast, especially since the steering is so responsive. The V6 troubles the front wheels while delivering its power though, so keep a firm grip on the steering wheel. The dashboard layout is easy to see and use. Rear view is restricted and some drivers may feel claustrophic. In sports car terms fun, but safe. Quick-acting steering and limited body roll give the GTV a real sports car feel, and the impression is heightened by the subtle howl of the engines. Lacks a little finesse for the super-enthusiast driver, highly entertaining nonetheless.
The Twin Spark 2.0 litre engine is very adequate, getting to 60mph in just over 8 seconds. However, for Ferrari-like thrills the 220bhp 3.0 litre V6 puts the coupe into another performance league altogether, accelerating past 150mph. It makes a wonderful sound too.
