Engines | |||
| Average engine lifespan: | 420'000 km | 350'000 km | |
| Engine resource depends largely on regular maintenance and the quality of the oils and fuels used, but under equal conditions the average life of a Alfa Romeo GT engine could be longer. | |||
| Engine production duration: | 7 years | 20 years | |
| Engine spread: | Installed on at least 2 other car models, including Alfa Romeo 147, Fiat Bravo | Installed on at least 3 other car models, including Fiat Punto, Fiat Grande Punto, Fiat Doblo | |
| In general, the longer and for more car models an engine is produced, the better its serviceability and availability of spare parts. Alfa Romeo MiTo might be a better choice in this respect. | |||
| Hydraulic tappets: | yes | no | |
| The Alfa Romeo GT engine has hydraulic tappets (lifters), providing quieter operation and no need for periodic adjustment, but they are more complex in design and can cause serious engine damage in case of failure. | |||
