Actually yes, I’d say it’s perfect as a first car. It looks great, still fresh and modern, overall very good build quality especially in the interior, great handling. It also has lots of airbags and good brakes. The 1.6Ts has good power and torque deliver, great sound. It’s true though that have issues with oil consumption and bad fuel efficiency compared to modern engines. Overall I’d say that for the money they cost now, you get a beautiful bargain.

Thank you for commenting. I’m very glad that you are thinking of buying a GT selespeed. I bought it for the exact same reason, because I wanted to have the paddle shifting experience. Don’t forget that we’re talking for an automated manual gearbox of a single clutch. It isn’t super fast but neither slow. To my experience it’s faster than a manual gearbox overall. However if you are a racing driver then you will find it rather slow. It all depends on the driver’s experience. There is a slight delay but not that much. When I compare it to my fully automatic Brera, the delay is significantly lower in my GT. I haven’t driven a Miata to compare. Personally I love the experience, especially during downshifting because of the rev matching. Most of the times I drive her in manual mode. The only downside to me is that during driving in the city is just a while jerky.

Hello friend and thank you for asking. JTS is known to have some issues, most of them related to the direct injection system and valve deposits. You have to find one with proper maintenance. Selespeed transmission also comes with some issues as they get older. Accumulator failure that leads to pump failure eventually, electro valves issues etc which cost a lot to fix. If I wanted to have peace in my mind then I’d probably go for a twin spark one or a jtd, both with manual transmission. If you have money and time to spend then the combination I drive is perfect for a project car. It handles brilliantly though and she is a true beauty

Not too many to be honest other than regular maintenance and upper and lower wishbones that need quite often replacement. The only thing that I've replaced prematurely is the steering rack. Thank you for commenting.

I'd say more than enough for me. You enjoy driving it in the mountains more than high speed cruising on the highway.

Thank you for asking. My usual consumption is at around 7 lt/100 km. Most of the mileage is on the highway though. In the past where I used to drive a lot in the city I used to get around 10 lt/100 km.

@@pov_driver Oh, it's bad... But, it's ok. ahaha

@@Gholoso it is bad only if you compare it to a modern vehicle. But for a 1.6 lt engine that produces 120hp back in the 2000s it's quite good actually. Only 7lit/100km.

@@pov_driver No no no, wait, don't misunderstand: I love this car, and as an Italian, I fully appreciate this car, this engine and the performance. I asked you about the consumption, because I would really like to buy it, except that I will have to fall back on the LPG or CNG model with also the hydrogen system to maximize consumption, because in my province (Turin), you can no longer travel by car Diesel euro 5 down. So, I'll have to get it with petrol, even though the 1.9 JTDm has much better fuel consumption than the petrol.

@@Gholoso I think that with lpg the consumption is a little bit higher but then you earn by the lower lpg price. I believe that if you drive it in the city more then you should be expecting somewhat near 8-10lt/100km overall which is relatively high especially in comparison with newer cars. That’s true. My personal opinion is that it isn’t suitable for city driving especially with so high consumption but I definitely recommend it for driving outside city and on the highway. Cheers mate!

Thank you for commenting and liking my content. I service my Alfas at Christoforos Kouloundis’s garage in Limassol. I’ve also heard excellent comments about Red Scorpion Garage in Nicosia but haven’t tried them yet.

You could also consider subscribe to Alfa Romeo Cyprus Club in fb.

@@pov_driver Big thanks for the recommendation! Went to C&N today, definitely the right place for Alfa Romeo owners

@@dreamm1989 very glad that you found my recommendation useful.

She actually is a macchina sportiva. Thank you for commenting

This one is made with the dji osmo 2 action camera. I use also the GoPro hero 10. No problems at all. The only issue is oil consumption, a known problem with most of the twin sparks. Thank you for commenting

Thank you so much ❤​@@pov_driver

@@pov_driver what oil do you use? I recently switched to Mannol 5W40 and it improved a lot. I also own a 1983 GTV which consumed way too much oil but the Mannol fixed everything

@@HellishPunch I now usually use Valvoline 10w/40. Previously when in Greece I only used Selenia 20k 10w40. Both are fine. It consumes though a lot. Was considering changing to a full synthetic 5w40 but haven’t yet done it. I’ll have it in mind though. Thank you for commenting

Thank you for commenting. They are not that old after all. 🤣

Nice question. Actually it’s considered a coupe even though it’s practically a hatchback. It’s more hatchback than the GT

@pov_driver ahh I see. Every time I see Brera always wonder what this beautiful car is, it's too beautiful 😂😂😂.

Thank you for commenting!

Hai assolutamente ragione su questo. Sto pensando di realizzare nuovi video con un suono migliore catturato principalmente dallo scarico e dall'aspirazione. Rimani sintonizzato. Grazie per aver commentato

Thank you for commenting mate.

Couldn't agree more. Thank you for commenting.

Thank you for commenting. This is actually a very good question. It all depends on my mood, on how I feel like driving. If I want something smooth, easy and calm then I go for my X5. If I feel like driving in a more spirited way then Alfa is my choice. The X5 is definitely a cruiser. You enjoy her driving her for miles and miles no matter where. The Alfas are more fun to drive 😉

Thank you for commenting. Actually there are a couple of different noises. One of them caused by the plastic wrap the rear seats where covered drom factory and never removed properly. Another probably caused by the windshield trim that reflects in the interior. And another that still undiscovered.

Thank you for liking and commenting. Stay tuned and make sure that you check out the other videos too

Whenever you want mate. Stay tuned for more

Cyprus. Thank you for commenting

Thank you so much for your comment. Make sure to stay tuned for more to come.

Νομίζω με τη Brera έχουν τον ίδιο ακριβώς υαλοκαθαριστήρα. Και στην 147 αρχικά είχα βάλει ανταλλακτικό μόνο το μάκτρο αλλά δεν έκανε καλή εφαρμογή με τον βραχίονα. Ίσως κάποιο άλλο ανταλλακτικό να είχε καλύτερη συναρμογή, γι αυτό τελικά αποφάσισα ν’ αλλάξω όλο το σετ.

That’s a tough one. I’d say the Brera. Overall it’s much better in the motorway and since a diesel much more efficient and economical. It’s quieter too and rock solid. Thank you for commenting

@@pov_driver Thanks for the reply. That's good to know. Slightly worried it will leave me stranded 700km from home but oh well... it's either that or an e46 (which will also leave me stranded given the chance haha).

Coffee holders. Brera isn’t that practical

Yes. Totally stock.

Unfortunately yes. She has only 5 gears with a relatively short ratio gearbox.

@@pov_driver good for the twisties though!

@@ronjatter true. You should definitely check on one of my spirited drive videos with her 😉

Thank you for commenting. This one was shot at 24fps, 1/48sec, auto iso with maximum iso set at 800. Superview, hyper smooth, GoPro hero 10.

@@pov_driver This is great. Thank you!

Buen coche, tengo uno también😊

@@manuelsolsona5795 ¡Gracias amigo! Asegúrate de estar atento para más información. Gracias por comentar

They have some weak points but overall I’d say they are ok. Key factor is to find a mechanic that knows them well and how to fix them if needed. The mechanism itself isn’t that complicated at all, however parts, especially the solenoids are quite expensive.

@@pov_driver Thanks for your feedback ont the Selespeed. Great video by the way!

@@thatsentertainment5602 thank you for commenting. Glad that you liked it

Of course you can

@@pov_driver If I drive this car on the highway and I want to drive 2000 km longer, then I can also use city mode (automatic program), that's what I meant

@@nette8986 city is the fully automatic program of the gearbox. Selespeed is a semi automatic sequential gearbox. I’m not sure I fully get the question you ask. 🤔

@@pov_driver I explain even better: can I drive on the highway with city mode or can I only drive in the city with city mode

@@nette8986 you can drive in city mode everywhere. City mode will just change gears automatically for you. If you want to change gears manually then you deselect city mode. Sport mode works only in manual mode and make shifts slightly quicker when driving aggressively

It’s a brilliant car if you have a good working engine. One of the main issues with her is the poorly designed direct injection system that causes lots of valve deposits causing lots of misfires and poor performance overall. If you find a well maintained example it’s an absolute joy to drive. Thank you for commenting.

She feels solid on the motorway, quite heavy and chubby on mountain roads. However, she definitely can turn despite her weight. All you have to do is show her some trust. Make sure you check on the playlist on the channel to watch some videos on the mountain

Definitely. There are also other videos on mountain roads with her. Make sure you check on them. Thank you for commenting

Thank you for commenting, glad that you liked it. That engine light is so uncommon for the GTs 🤣🤣🤣

Thanks mate! Thank you for commenting. Trying my best

Plz?

Thank you for commenting. I have some other videos with harder driving with the GT. Make sure to check on them 😉

First of all thank you for commenting. Secondly, 67 compared to? Don’t you like this point of view? What would be your suggestion?

the pov is too far out, zoom in, lower the degrees of view, i cannot feel the sense of speed. try narrow instead of linear@@pov_driver

@@grumpyracer1791 thank you very much for your suggestion. I’ll see what I can do in post production, otherwise I’ll try it while filming.

Really? Thank you for commenting.

@@pov_driver Not you . The driver in front of you .

@@SLR-722 🤣

You mean automatically won’t shift or manually? Have you tried both the gear joystick and the paddles?

Thank you for commenting. Mine is also a light blue (cyan) metallic.
