Does anyone know anything about these cars? just I've be thinking about getting an Integra Type R in January but have recently seen a 3.0 V6 02plate GTV with full Aero kit and only 24K on the clock for only £13K seems like a hell of alot of car for the money. Now I know Alfas used to be shit but are they still?
Any opinions or suggestions welcome

the only prob with the GTV i know about what the rear susp on early ones (recall)... being a 3.0 this does not apply!
They are great to drive even if the driving postion is crap and offcentre for tall people...
great sounding and going engine....
nice cars

I've heard rumors of them being expensive to fix and but the sound of the engine and quality of the interior are sor of hypnotic you just forget about the fact they're meant to be unreliable.

The one I've been looking at is Alfa Red with the Lusso pack and I have to say it is fucking lovely. However I do still really fancy the Teg Type R aswell. Think I'll just have to do a bit more research into the pair of them

Did actually think about a Supra and an Impreza for a bit, but there are a few of both round my way, wanted something a bit different.
