I love the brand, the history of it, the designs, etc... the GTV itself is cool and feel special, and that front end is gorgeous.... but driving wise ? meh. It's a pretty car, with a terrible driving position and kinda claustrophobic inside. The nord engine mystique is IMO somewhat overplayed (it's a 4 cylinder, not a Ferrari V12, I find it about as exciting as 4cyl 356 engine) and the car drive exactly the same as a BMW 2002 of the same vintage (with less visibility or comfort) which will be cheaper and IMO more fun to drive and tune. Now ducking and going back into hiding.
PS: I'm selling mine as soon as BaT decides to finally list it - those guys take FOREVER. Don't get me wrong I love it, it's a gorgeous car, but it's redundant next to my bimmer.

No need to hide. Nice summary. Yes, I have some experience with older Alfa Spiders, and totally get what you're saying in regards to the engine/performance. Truth be told, with the GTV, I am a total sucker for the looks!!!! DROOOOL.
