Alfa Romeo GT 1.9 JTD MultiJet Review

Good Points
Gorgeous Italian looks, good performance, very comfortable, spacious and practical for a coupe.
Economical in diesel form. Well made. Lots of character.

Bad Points
Poor turning circle and rear visibility. Fiddly radio/CD controls and overly complicated radio, heating/climate control and onboard computer software.

General Comments
If you want a coupe but also want something different to the BMW 3 Series coupe, then the Alfa Romeo GT is well worth a look.

It has classic Alfa styling and is very well screwed together. No rattles and squeeks and the quality of materials used is excellent.

It is a true GT rather than an out and out sports car, with a back seat that can accommodate two adults for short journeys. It is also very practical, having a hatchback tailgate and folding rear seats. The front seats are very comfortable and supportive.

The diesel version is quiet, has lots of torque and so is very punchy and refined, and averages 45 mpg.

Handling and ride quality are good but the turning circle is quite large for this size of car.

The radio/CD controls are quite fiddly to use and quite complicated to master.

It comes very well equipped as standard and offers excellent value for money.
