Whilst based on the underpinnings of the 156, the GT coupe has been finely tuned for improved handling and comfort - and the result is an inspiring all-round package. With some excellent engines (both petrol and the gutsy JTD diesel) and a great driving position, this Alfa lives up to its phenomenal looks on the road and behind the wheel.
The well-finished cabin reflects greatly improved build quality and although its looks suggest it might be rather impractical, folding rear seats and a decent boot lend it well to everyday use. What's more, there are some fantastic discounts to be had via AutoeBid for UK dealer supplied cars - making the GT a tempting choice.
