If the GT was a RWD car, then it would be one of the greatest cars ever
The fwd really let’s it down 😢
Actually you are wrong. Top Gear keeps jabbing about Alfas, but they actually love them.
Had my GT Cloverleaf for 3 years, it's been awesome and I still love driving it. I would rather push my Alfa than drive a BMW! ;)
are you a pisces ? :p
lol no I'm an Aquarius!
I know what you mean. Actually i have to say that I know what you feel :)
Jeremy is wrong. The GT is the prettiest car Alfa has made for a long time.
The 159/Brera look good in photos but are flat and surprisingly bland in person (apart from those headlights of course). In pictures the GT looks slab-sided and badly proportioned, but in person it's curvaceous, sleek and dramatic, and flared in all the right places. It's perfect.
Thats true the gt looks better in person, its really unphotogenic actually lol
But brera is beautiful
brera looks stunning in person
People who say Alfa's are unreliable either haven't owned one or have had a bad one. They are no less reliable now than any other brand. The GT is gorgeous and much more desirable than a a social conformist box like a BMW.
indeed Jason, i drive alfa for 25 years and i never had any problem with my cars
jason miller so much bullshit man
jason miller look on forums from people who are complaining about their alfa s reliabilty
jason miller my dad owns one and he recently with low milage and dealership maintected and still the gearbox broke down 2000 euro's futher
jason miller alfa s are good looking cars though
I love my Alfa GT :)
mate could you please give me some info on it i really want to own one
Are you a Pisces though?
They are right.. I've owned porsches,bmw's,mercs,audis
Alfa Romeo is something else. Owning one can give the owner a very special feeling... they are special cars in there own little way.
If you drive an Alfa you drive a car with a soul, driving it makes me happy, it's constantly wanting you to get through corners faster. I drive 155 1.8 '97. It's reliable, just treat it good, not like many ppl do, cold motor and 4000+ rpm is deffinitly goeing to kill any car, but an Alfa kills faster because of that. If you treat it good, you will be payed for that. And yes my 155 sucks petrol :)
alfa GT one of the best looking cars around!
this is definately one of the best clips on top gear
kudos to the top gear crew, you know they love their alfas
the alfa GT 2.0 JTS was my first car and I don't have a bad word I can say about except it's a bit more expensive to maintain than normal cars, but the drive was absolutely brilliant, it was super comfortable to drive long distances with and it feels better than sitting in a bmw or audi to be honest. not to mention the car is drop dead gorgeous in my opinion.
My first car as well. I love it!
Since I bought my first Alfa, I've owned no other cars than Alfas. They're abseloutely magical and joyous to own and drive.
I'm a Gemini and have an Alpha a gt sums me and it up perfectly ... two faces , plus and minus, joy and sadness, hope and despair , love and hate but for that brief moment of the space between well only you will know
Because the majority talk about the reliability of this brand without owning one.
I have an Alfa Gt for over 4 years and it never let me down...
I like it as on the first day I Bought it.
I have a 1985 gtv6 and i'm a cancer. I have to disagree with the unreliability of an Alfa. I drove a 1984 gtv6 for seven years (daily) and it never left me stranded, failed to start or got tempramental. Just changed the oil every 3000 miles, timing belt every 30,000 and mind the brake pads. Other than that had the propshaft doughnuts and bearing replaced once. I liked it so much I bought the '85 to replace it with only 34,000 miles on the clock and original paint. This one is not a daily driver.
In terms of reliability that is... The 156, 147, Brera, 159, GT, all great honest solid cars with amazing design. Too bad they stopped producing the Alfa V6 engines, I hope they come back some time. Probably the best sounding engines in a regular car with great performance.
Present With an alfa GT 3.2 V6 Luxury.
Thwe best car for driving in all conditions with a very very good performance!
V6 is the TOP !
the selespeed has had some problems in the past - it also needs regular maintenance. Do yourself a favor and just get a manual. As long as it has been looked after properly they are fine..
The Alfa GT is the most beautiful car
I agree that BMW turns great...But you'll find this turning satisfaction to the top range products (M3 etc) take the 116 for example...RWD but the steering is no compare to a Fwd alfa 156.
i have a ALFA ROMEO GT 1800 ts....its not so fast but on track race , its wonderfull, the brake , the stearind, the sound and the performance is great..........the driving trip to be relaxing, the style of those coupe is great..........i love this car,,,I would love to had turbo , but I have no problem..........
I own an alfa 156 and I'm a Sagittarius...God I love my Alfa...people always say they will let you down.. so will a Citroen, Peugeot, Renault, Seat, Skoda, the list goes on... never had a problem with mine, drives like a dream... petrolheads wet dream
fucking class car my girl friend drives one and she looks hot as fuck in it
ahahah
Capricorn and currently owning 156 V6, 156 GTA, 164 V6 Turbo. :)
i have a alfa gt 1.9 jtdm 150cv i love it im a taurus btw , taurus like beautifull things in everything , beautifull landscapes , beautifull women , beautifull cars , pretty in everything. and there is no prettier day to day cars then alfa
No problem in 100.000 Km with an Alfa GT!
i have this car.i love this car.
@TheKamikazeMAR Absolutly Right ...
my 156 turns me cracy .. but every Ride makes it up again.
next car ? .. of course .. an Alfa Romeo
Alfa Romeo is my soul Alfa Romeo is my passion sadly it's not the one that I drive.. please bring it to the U.S.
@alfistii1
i am not a german car fan per-say...we (my family) have owned 3 alfa's in the past decade...starting with the verry same you have, then we had the 2.4 jtd facelift and after that the 159 1.9 jtd, full spec...got it cheaper because it was a showroom, pre-registerd car in the dealership...we had that for a year, then swapped it for an E class (not an amg sadly) but an e class none the less
however my personal car is a 1993 land rover defender, but thats another subject
Same here got a GT on 100k miles. drives perfectly! my brothers got 2 alfa's aswell 147's and they are smooth! ALFA KICKS ASS :D
ive had one it was great, diesel but great
i think the front of the GT looks like a veyron. when i walk around and i see one from distance, i always think i'm about to see a veyron
Alfa Romeo is better than any british shit..... UK dont have car industry and Clarkson has a big mouth
Im a Pisces ♓️ and did buy a black gt 3.2 v6 busso last week. Its the most expansive one when it came out. This car is just really fun to drive, maybe a little bit heavy on the nose but that's just it. Its still good looking today if you ask me. That engine sound is just porn for the ears and i think it's a masterpiece, even how it looks under the hood!
18 inch Monza wheels on it😁
I've 128000 on mine. 13yrs old. Has never missed a beat.Had 7 broken passenger side door handles, bloody kids broke them all fightin over the front seat. Love it.
The Alfa GT is the most beautiful car at the moment
Looking to buy a Gt 3.2.... Got a bmw 320 ci sport.. and it seems everyone else got a beemer too. Dont see many GT's on the road and i need that 3.2 v6 in my life...
For sale 2004 BMW 320 ci sport £5k Full s/h mint condition or will swap for alfa GT 3.2
A well-maintained Alfa is as reliable as any other European car. If you are slack it will know that you don't love it and respect it and become a hand-grenade and blow in your face using its cambelt as a fuse. I love my 156
there are 2 possibilities: u either love alfa 159 or u can be just jealous if u can't afford one but I love 159 and I'm so frustrated that I cannot afford one yet, about alfa gt it's cool also I think it looks like batman's car
proud owner of an Alfa 156 1.6TS with 95000 km over the last 9 years...I also own a peugeot 207 GT...
I prefer the alfa!The peugeot is way faster but the alfa gives you the feeling that you drive a proper car that Sounds good, turns good, and looks gorgeous.....
Anyone can make a car that goes straight...alfa knows how to make a car turn
Possono dire quello che vogliono ma la mia GT è grandiosa, ,,,ho pure modificato la centralina e aumentato il n° di cavalli ...va che è una bellezza!!!
You can't compare an Alfa Romeo to a BMW.. It's almost a blasphemy..
Imagine the guy who drives an Alfa compared to the dull old man who drives a BMW..
I think one brand has paid them of, to talk about alfa's problems. I have had a Alfa for about 15 years it didn't broke down once.
I'm a pisces with an Alfa Romeo GT xD
clarckson, you know "neanche un cazzo abt cars! The rear is awesome
I've driven in the 159 owned by my uncle. And an Alfa Romeo GT.
Google for "Alfa Romeo 159 interior" and "Alfa Romeo GT interior" images.
The dashboards are so clean and empty. It's not MY taste. I'm not saying they are bad.. nor is Jeremy.. he's just saying that he doesn't like it.
What is wrong with that :\?
@waltibaba I know you extended it but it was pointless to do so. Who doesn't admit Alfas have shit reliablity in fact that's what makes them so special because if you can have one and for it to not go wrong for about 150,000 miles than you got it made. That's the beauty of it.
„All'Alfa sanno fare i guanti alle mosche.“
Enzo Ferrari ..... Io amo la mia Alfa GT
uno che è abituato a girare con ferrari lotus aston bugatti ecc non fa molto testo,la mia gt 1.9 jtd la trovo fenomenale sia nella linea che nelle prestazioni,ho provato la golf,ho possieduto bmw (di cat.superiore fra l'altro)ma con questa non farei cambio di sicuro va da dio!
I Have to a AR GT - Jtd with 176 Horsepower and 365 NM - (Chiptuning from G-Tech) I LOVE MY ALFA!
he some shithing about alfa romeo fack hem bmw audi jaguar and oll germaniche and gbr auto s.hello from serbia and i love alfa romeooooo. ende
great job!
Brilliant design, and been very reliable no problems at all.
Actually, you're wrong. Alfas are getting more reliable these days.
Sure Alfa GT:s back look rubish in the rear. But thats only on pictures. IN REAL it's fantastic! It's butiful! Every car looks more butiful in real. The most butiful car I've ever seen in real i the Lamborghini Reventon, so awesome! But my dreamcar is actual a red Alfa Romeo GT. :)
Which episode ?
My first car is an Alfa GT and I am a lion ^^
and my first car its ALFA GT and i am Sagittarius.......
Whyx Nowx also my first car :D
you just have to be an alfisti...all the rest is rubish ;)
I'm a capricorn and I have an 2010 Honda accord
Yeah, but quality comparisons aside - there is more to a car than just reliability.
Sure, its annoying when cars break down and cost money. But honestly - I'd rather have a car that makes me happy than anything else. Life's just too short.
Alfa romeo gt great car !!
alfa is just a car sport & love not a simple machine
I'm in america and I own Italian import Alfa 166 that is so hard to insure. Pay $10,000
I absolutely adore my Alfa GT. The design is a masterpiece.
Oh yeah, I love all the TG boys' sense of humour, they're all different but at the same time they're all great and they compliment each other perfectly.
I've just started going to the TG website and reading their blogs, they're very good writers too, quite engaging.
It's not bad. But Italy are not good on technology. Alfa is a fun car to drive, and make alot of attention. Alfa Romeo is father to Ferrari and grandpa to Lamborghini. It's look good, it's a nice feeling to drive. Smooth... Don't buy an Alfa whit a V6. It's make the car heavy and you lose handling. You can still have fun whit a 2.0 JTS :)
i would say buy only the v6 and make some changes, coilover suspension, bigger break discs, exhaust system from kat and check axle shaft front and rear, and you good to go.
bought Alfa Romeo GT today. I think they're probably right. In any case I feel really straigth. Great car.
16 years later, and Gt looks better and better, have a Gt 1.8ts and love it.
I just bought on
Is it a good choice ?
I just bought one a week ago its 2004 1,9 jtd 150hp with beautiful red leather interior, only 137 000 km on it and I only paid 2900 euros for it, it runs great only the clutch is hard
I have bose sound system also in my GT its great, I dont have turbo but I am thinking about ti chip tuning it
what are you talking about? a 1.9 jtd without turbo? it always has a turbo
Robert
u mean a trurbine yes i have it, but u r wrong not every jtd has a turbo
what do you think the "t" in jtd stands for mate
Rik van Dijk
its for turbo i think
Well, mate, I'm sorry to disagree, but you can't have Lamborghini, unless you have the money to buy it back from Audi.
I would like to own a old Alfa Romeo except that I live in the States and finding one is probably impossible.
I wish they sold alfa's here in the states.
Great car ! Forza Alfa Romeo
Not Alfa’s best looking car but a good one nonetheless
non ho capito cosa hanno detto ma la mia GT va benissimo anche se è la 2.0 jts
I just got my very own GT and i already love it just that feeling of seeing the car's beauty and then realizing it's yours is something special
ahhh... I love Alfa
This car looks beautiful.
please bring alfa to america!
Yeah, Capricorns do like their Rolls and Bentley. He's right on that one .:)
ALFA ROMEO doesnt break down!!!!!!!
@MrMorceaux For you're infomation, it was the northern italian's that were in with Hitler in ww2, my family are from Picinisco in the south, when the war finished, their were lots of german soldiers found buried after families that had been commandeered to house and feed them, done the good deed of relieving them of their sick duties, oh and remember Hitler invaded Monte Cassino, not far from Picinisco. next time think before you type as you obviously have the I Q of Mars bar. Forza Alfa Romeo!
@alfistii1
i bought mine from a bloke who got it from the local police who sold them off because they got new ones....he restored it completely, and "pimped it" a bit...he got it for 6 grand, restored it for 1.5 grand, sold it for 7k
it has the 2.0 diesel engine out of a transit van, which is as reliable as a plough horse, he also installed an LPG kit, which makes for great runing costs
i've had it for 3 years now and all i had to replace on it was the odd light bulb and a squeeky door hinge
@Keluzzina Agreed! Nothing beats italian horses!!! Germany? They had to change rules in DTM around '93 to catch the 155 V6Ti :)
Technology? TwinSpark (since the 1920's!!!!), CommonRail ('97), MultiJet (2001). The germans are still using the TDI, a weak copy of Fiat's iDtd debuted as the first direct injecting diesel engine in the world in '88 with the Croma! And what about the PDTDI crap? Muhahahahaaaal! Cars from Italy forever.
lol italy is known for its salami an cheese, not its cars. maybe you have 4 well know brands, the lambo an fararri cant eb classed as every day cars, other wise you have the germans to contend with, that leaves the alfas and fiats, and i can tell you through experience that they might look ok but are built like, drive like and are as reliable as shit. dont get me wrong im not saying england makes great cars, i know they dont, well not commercial cars anyway.
No, I haven't had the opportunity to read any of the TG boys' stuff, think I'll have to look out for them though.
We used to have a huge shed a few years back when all of us were living at home, we each had our work areas in the shed and I always kept my stuff neat, tidy and categorised (eg different screws sorted out into little tubs whereas the boys would just have them all in one big jar), it was annoying when the boys couldn't find their own stuff so they'd "borrow" mine and never return it!
you dont to know what ignorant means, because i didnt disprove your point doesnt mean im ignorant. you complaining about ignorance then saying something about stereotyped england (thats the ignorant part) is. i was merely laughing at your hypocritical comment. please make sure you understand what im saying this time before you reply
He's not anti italian .. he's anti alfa romeo.
And he has the right to think that.
I've driven Alfa's and I have to say that they're very empty cars. The interior doesn't make you feel like you're in a nice car though I must say the GT does have quite nice handling.
But I'd never buy an Alfa Romeo.
they are very reliable! i have this car!!!!! its freaking awesome! 240hp!
@rdwar001 take this into account as well, unless you picked up the 325i straight from the factory..than I wouldn't consider it new. Any number of things could have occured between the factory building it at you buying it. I've never had an Alfa or a BMW, so I guess in reality my opinion shouldnt matter
fiat panda was the car of the year, fiat punto was car of the year, fia500 was car of the year.. 3 times inseven yeas.. think abaut it.. italyan cars are the best... they have the biger history in the car industry and racing history also...
are so far away.... ignorants!!!
I love alfa romeos, they dont break down if you take care of them (like you should ANY car) it's all hype saying that they are unreliable, alfas a very reliable cars, just stay away from selespeed, check suspension, oil and coolant regularly and she'll purr like a kitten.
I never drove an alfa...i dont get why they are so special? i mean beauty is relative, and reliability/performance/quality isnt...
I just dont get it, hopefully i will drive one someday and understand...they dont sell them in the USA
@alfistii1
alfa's are great if you're in your 30's or 40's...my dad's now in his 50's with a dodgy back...say what you will, the seats in a 159 are not the most comfortable thing in the world...they gave me back aches and im only 24
That's exactly the problem I have with Alfa Drivers. You're elitist. It's completely untrue that everyone else is an A to B driver. Jeremy and James don't even have Alfas anymore. They were too insufferable to live with. So stop being so condescending.
the GT is rubbish...its too small and too cramped for a car that size...they shuld have made it either lighter or rear wheel drive....or re-issue it with the new 159/Brera style looks
if you want a good fast Alfa, get a 159
actually i reckon italy is probably one of the most well known countires for cars, is why the best sports cars come from there, alfaromeo have some fantastic cars so i duno wtf your on about.
I don't know about the Falcon and your other aussie-specific Fords, but the Mondeo and Focus are both well-built cars. (It's the Fords where I live - in America - that you need worry about.)
