For me it is the most beautiful car alfa as made in a while since the launch of the giulietta, the perfoemance is great and i like the sound of the engine alot. Go alfa romeo gt!!!

A great car. Styling is quite good and still looks contemporary. Handling and braking are good. Has quite good economy for its generation. Good cockpit, however rear seats for kids are like a leather lined coffin - but that's one of the compromises for styling! Let down by only one franchised alfa romeo dealer in northern ireland. You should be able to read faults and reset service lights without having to go to a main dealer.

Lovely looking car that's a pleasure to drive. Really economical with a lively performance and reliable too. Good safety features with air bags surrounding you.

It's very stylish car and very practical. It's not the fastest car on the road but it goes fast enough for me. The economy is first rate. If alfa still made the gt i would buy another one next time i change my car.

The alfa gt is a beautiful looking car, both inside and out, but massively let down by niggles and problems to the point where in my first 6 months of ownership the garrage probably had the car more than me, very disappointing.

Good looking, comfortable, practical and great to drive. But the ride is a little unsettled, and the suspension could do with being tightened up in terms of vertical body control.

Even after 4 years of ownership i still think my alfa gt is a stunning car. Not the best mpg, but i didn't buy it with fuel economy in mind!

I love the alfa romeo marque but the main dealer i purchased the car from was disastrous. This has clouded my view of the car. In addition alfa romeo were just as bad. Perhaps they're selling so many units they don't need repeat business!

I/we love it but recognise that it's not the best value for money. It is beautifully styled but we have had disastrous problems with the cam belt breaking and damaging the engine. Then a garage repaired it incorrectly and a dealership had to put it right. This is the 3rd alfa romeo we have owned - we do love them but would really think twice before buying another.

Great car - classic alfa coupe with the busso v6 engine. Car used regularly for cross european drives. Only the turing circle & ride quality let it down. Only real issue has been a dodgy drive shaft. Car has 72k on it & his hard used.

It’s an alfa romeo gt, it may not be built like a boring german but it just look at it! Once you own an alfa you say you truly understand aesthetic quality. It’s not always about bhp, mph, reliability or numbers... we are not machines we are people, with emotions and feeling, the alfa romeo appeals to your heart which will always win over your head. And their history is truly remarkable. I always catch myself looking back at my alfa. And when i return to it after a hard day’s work i see it staring back at me in the car park i crack a smile every time. I love it! ;)

Just dodgy electrics. Window electric motor and battery problem. This took 3 years finally to resolve, at my expense as it was out of warranty, but it is a fantastic looking and handling car and it is an alfa so best too be philosophical about it.

I'm prepared to put up with any 'alfa niggles', should i have any, because it is quite simply an alfa. I absolutely love it.

This my second alfa gt. The first did 36000 miles and the only faults were a faulty fuel injector fixed under warrenty and a blown side light bulb. My present car is a diesel and after 18,000 miles has had no faults. I have been impressed by the car its economy and the dealer i use. They are definatley my fist choice when the time comes to change.

Best car i have owned, looks great, good performance, reasonable economy and been very reliable. Ride on 18" wheels is a bit unforgiving on pot holed roads though. Main dealer servicing is expensive.

Alfa romeo still need to improve the overall reliability of their cars, as some of my problems have been due to the build quality, or rather, lack of it. I've had problems with water getting into light clusters, annoying squeaks and rattles (one of which remains), and some juddering when the clutch pedal is released sometimes!
