2001 Alfa Romeo 147 Distinctive review from Belgium
"Great driving experience and a superb car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
One flickering had to be fixed.
One plastic cover for the engine was damaged and had to be changed.
General comments?
Overall the car is reliable and excellent built in quality.
Performance and handling are excellent.
The design is amazing, in particular the dashboard.
Comfort is correct thanks to excellent seats and superb leather.
Only cons are high consumption and uncertain resale value.
A great car which gives far more satisfaction than insipid German competitors.
