Alfa Romeo GT (2004-2010)

Anyone?

So I have heard and I want one. Looking for a 1.9 because of high mileage.

My garage had one which was just sold. Ow bugger and what a great place to sit in. Rear seats can accomodate not too long adults for not too long time I guess? My GF 2.0 147 is a tad bigger.

My garage (classic and modern Alfa) has a mint V6 but that's just too much for me. Some high miler diesels still look good.

[dinkel]

Well the early ones look OK and the diesels can cope with high milage so 200k+ kms cars look OK to me.

[dinkel]

Yeah. looking for a good one and my (classic Alfa) garage is looking for a black 1.9 with blood red seats.

[dinkel]

When Alfa wishbones make themselves known soundwise, they're not gone. Our 147 2.0 TS sounds every now and then but it's very OK. Ran 4 peeps plus luggage from NL to S-France this summer. Epic hack and I expect a 1.9 GT to be likewise.

Looking for a tidy 1.9 JTD 16v QV

When I find a good one I will post here.

Isn't that the point with all cars?

I drove a 2.4 in city traffic and it performed OK.

No a 156 ID.

I had a 2.0 JTS GT for 5 years, and had absolutely no issues with it (other than it requiring a bit of oil - around 1 litre every 1000 miles from memory but I just had a habit of checking it and topping it up every fortnight). It was a 2 year old when I bought it, so 7 years old when I sold it. Everyone was telling me how problematic it must be, but it didn't miss a beat. Certainly not very powerful,...

2006 147 2 litre here: 1.5 litre every 1000 kms but it goes pretty well when past the 4k mark.
