Living with an Alfa Romeo GTV

Well this is my first update about living with the 916 GTV.

After the first hiccup with some little scrote trying to break into it over New Year i'm enjoying being Alfisti again.
So how does the GTV shape up.
Well my last ride was a Renault Scenic so there's a huge difference, you get in and wear the GTV wheras the Renault is a diesel plodder very reliable and to be honest for the last 5 yrs has done exactly what it says on the side of the box.
I'm now entertaining 37mpg in a 2 ltr petrol car compared to 45 in the Renault.
And i love the quirkiness of the Alfa, leather seats, poor visibility but plenty of reserve power available so you can get out of trouble much quicker that you got there originally. And a driving position akin to a lemans racer...waay haaaaay.

Will i miss the Renault....nope not at all......however good luck to my dad as the new on loan owner of it ..
