Alfa Romeo GTV and Spider (2003 - 2006) Review

Category: Affordable Sports 2.5 out of 5

Summary of the Alfa Romeo GTV and Spider (2003 - 2006)

Price Range: No data available

Assets

Style and panache by the bucket-load, fabulous engines, particularly the V6

Drawbacks

Showing its age, chassis taxed by engines, build quality, cramped cabin, scuttle-shake in Spider

Verdict

A buying decision made by the heart not the brain. You may not consider one yourself, but would understand those that did

Review

Used Value3 out of 5

There are plenty around to choose from, but take care to pick a good example - there are a lot of tatty ones about. The GTV and Spider may seem hopelessly dated and flawed compared to, say, the Audi TT, Mazda RX-8, BMW Z4 and so on, but they do have heritage and all the irrational passion that Italian sports cars continue to inspire. This means that they don't come cheap, but could make a good long-term investment as they achieve classic status.
