Hi
This was meant to be my first post but after reading through the forum for a while its ended up being my second!
Anyway, I was a Ford Puma owner until last year when I decided to part with my beloved 1.7 which I'd had for about 6 years. I was looking at GTs then but was talked out of it by various friends/family members who all 'knew' they were unreliable and fell apart regularly (none of which had actually owned an Alfa though!) and I bought a 2008 3 Series BMW instead. Whilst it is a nice sensible family car and is spacious, fast and comfortable it just is not much fun. And there are millions of them out there. So I am once again looking at GTs and can't seem to get them out of my head.
I am still concerned about the reliability of Alfas as I am not mechanically minded so won't be able to do any maintenance myself if things go wrong. I have no problem spending time cleaning and making them look good but give me a spanner and I'll do more harm than good!
I am going to look at a couple next weekend:
Alfa Romeo GT 1.9 JTDM 16V LUSSO 2DR 2007
And
Alfa Romeo GT 1.9 JTD 16V M-jet 2dr BIG SPEC GT DIESEL COUPE 2005
I would welcome members opinions on these 2 cars.....and Are Alfas really more unreliable than other makes or is it just a myth?
Many thanks.
Matt
