Best feature of your GTA

We all love out GTAs for slightly different reasons, so I thought this might be an interesting thread!

For me it is the speedo, the passenger can not see it from their side and has no idea how rapid the car really is. When they are told, they are allways surprised.

The earths .

Well not the unreliable speedo that's for sure.

For me I like the fact that the Alpine is an unknown yet it's got a pedigree. That means most people just look at it as a great car, whilst some nod in wise approval. Mostly Lotus drivers actually!

My other main like about the car is that it can do all that, and be used every day, has 4 (ish) seats, and does ~30mpg. There are loads of cars now that have more power but speed and handling wise it's still up there with the best. A lot of the Japanese stuff does 18mpg and are just a collection of spoilers.

Sorry, more than one feature but they all had to get a mention.

my shiney engine also the fact that 90% of peeps dont know what it is

all of the above and for me, the day i brought it, diving her through sarf london and realising there is a 70 speed limit at the end of my road, the first time i went from 30 to 70, f'in superb, best cars on the road! Now i know what all them car mags mean about a proper drivers car

THE STEERING!

For me its when you"ve finished your drive you just want to get back in and do it all again, smiling inside the whole time

Oh Yessssssssssssssssssss and all that non-ferous non-rusty curvy rear end !

Definitely the steering for me. But also love the looks. They are the 2 things that in my opinion are better than any car I've ever owned or driven - and thats alot of cars.

It's the rarity factor of it for me. I have taken it to a number of car shows recently and some yoofs just stood and stared, wondering what the feck it is! I was more than happy to educate them a bit It makes a change from all the japanese Crap that's at some of these shows!

(I also whole-heartedly agree with Richard and Tony about the steering. It's just so direct with loads of feel! )

For me.... I remember seeing it at the 1988 motor show and I was hooked. This is the only car that everytime i open the garage it put's a smile on my face, also the way it drives its soooooo blooody smooth! belive me like Mr Tony Smith I have driven a few cars in my time, but my GTA is always the car I love going back to for more and more!!!!

(Also the Integrale too )
