Style and panache by the bucket-load, fabulous engines, particularly the V6
Showing its age, chassis taxed by engines, build quality, cramped cabin, scuttle-shake in Spider
A buying decision made by the heart not the brain. You may not consider one yourself, but would understand those that did

Alfa's GTV coupe and Spider duo were originally launched mid-1995, and have since been replaced by the GT, Brera and new-generation Spider. They're still looking good, however, helped by a minor cosmetic makeover in 2003 which included some changes to the engine line-up as well as a 147-like nose and fresh alloy wheels.
The more technically-advanced 2.0-litre JTS petrol engine joined the 2.0 Twin Spark, and the magnificent 3.2 V6 (as in the 147/156 GTA) replaced the 3.0 V6. The chassis felt its age, the cabin cramped and dated - yet the GTV and Spider remain desirable.
