Alfa 2.0 GTV's any good? / advise
Discussion
What are peoples thoughts on the alfa GTV's?
I'm looking for a relatively cheap (circa £1500) daily run around, needs to be 1/2 way economical and reliable to the point at which I still arrive at work and these have cropped up on the search.
I seam to be reading that they are reasonably reliable other than a few suspension issues (other than tales of unreliability directed at all alfa's from people who have never owned one)
other option would be to stick with a hot hatch like a mini cooper but I am a car nut who's never owned an alfa so this could be the right time to put that right.

Cheers for all of the info very useful
I think it would be the 4 cylinder car is end up with over all performance isn't te end of the world. I'm fortunate enough to own a couple of other quick cars and the alfa would be for daily 20 mile each way commute.
I think the biggest appeal is the looks and individuality of the gtv over other options, was slightly disappointed to hear the seats aren't great, they look really nice
I'd almost talked myself out of the GTV, then tonight whilst out cycling rode past a car I've been watching on eBay. In red with 66k miles, first impressions were that it looked pretty clean. Interested if any one has any opinions on this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/231931891679?_trksid=p20...
