One of the best car tests I've seen. I really like that you show how the car is to drive in normal driving. Then you get a better understanding of the car's character than you get with just full throttle driving. You really show how alert and on Busson is all the time. then that you have access to Autobhan and can show a full throttle driving at top speed where the crown is on the work. thank you very much for your nice video. PS you drive exactly the same as me when I drive my Busso car. I also crank down the window at tunnels and gas on. 😁

Nice review mate! I own a 2007 GT 3.2 too and wish I could have mine blasting on the Autobann. This is such as amazing car to drive and has the best engine note in the world!

Thanks AutoTopNL for the videos and the experience! Really nice lads and lovely videos of my car!

Thank You for all of your videos that you did. I am enjoying all of them

Sometimes I wonder if I had waited just a bit longer, I might have gotten myself one of these instead of my current car: a 2003 Z4 3.0i (E85) Same sort of performance but that Busso engine in comparison sounds awesome and revs pretty high - love that car !

Am I the only one who finds that the GT has a front end that looks like a Bugatti Veyron? In any case, being an Alfa Romeo fan, it comes in my top 3 after the 8C. Like the 147 GTA it's the last Alfa to have the REAL Italian V6 Busso and it's super fun to drive

That's not true, the GT was never 'facelifted'. They only changed the chrome finish on the grille and blacked out the headlights on certain models. I think you must be confusing it with the 147 which it shares most of its chassis with.

There is always something to learn. Up to my info they were exiting the plant with 3.2 till 2005 as mine is, apearently not. Very good review. My is stock plus Q2 so drives and sounds a bit different. A bit slower but regarding the handling when everything is working properly it is doing good job even on the track. I agree with opinion about gear changing. It is possible to set it properly but these cables are not good solution and you can hardly find them now. In case of failure do not use cables from 6speed diesel nor 2.5v6 cause they are different. There are comapnies preparing new cables with use of old elements - this is better option if you can't find original. I am impressed by 100-200 times - no pre 2010 car on the list and Hyundai N slower. Ok I was able to beat on the trak some Golf Rs even but this was slow and curvy track. Regarding prices let's see. Now almost everything which is thisty can have a hard time. In principle well maintained and good looking GT v6 can be even more expensive than moderate GTA. And...small bonus... it is faster on the track stock vs. stock :)

I've had a V6 and currently own a JTS - the JTS does handle much better. The front is lighter, the steering rack is a little bit more talkative and the car feels a lot more eager to turn in. The V6 is a point-and-shoot machine, the 4 cylinder cars have the handling finesse. Also the turning circle is MUCH better, the V6 struggles to turn 90 degrees in certain car parks.

The Alfa 156 won car of the year. So hardly hated. But they depreciated heavily. Nowadays you rarely see one of them on the street or even offered for sale. If you are looking to buy one, there are maybe 3-6 on offer in all of germany. And the chance of a ropy one is not slim. I just love these cars. My dad had an 166 and I currently own two 156s, one with a 1.8 TS engine and the other with a 2.5 busso v6. Shame that there is such a thing as separated markets for cars. I guess you could import one at some point. But it'll be probably too late by then
