Advantages: Looks great, makes you feel excited to drive the most boring journeys

Disadvantages: dubious reliability - though i havent had any problems yet

I have recently purchased an Alfa Romeo GTV 2.0 twinspark and i feel like i got a good deal.

I read up on my purchase before taking the plunge and i read both good and bad things.

I would recommend using a dealer rather than private as i was able to get a full MOT covered plus a 12 month warranty.

For this plus my beautiful GTV, i paid a grand total of £1500, which was much less then i was looking to spend. I feel that with the security of the warranty for the unexpected, plus the money i have saved by not buying something more expensive - with less soul, i can now afford to get work done that i may have avoided otherwise.

It has some small scratches (where some brainless buffoon has keyed it) plus a few small dings in the drivers door and im sure i can get these fixed for less than £100. I am also unsure if it has had a new cambelt in its 69000 miles so i do intend to get that replaced asap.

I look forward to many enjoyable miles. My advice is - so far mine is great and if you can get it cheap enough, then spend the money and make it into the car you were looking to buy.

Summary: fun and flamboyant coupe
