2001 Alfa Romeo 147 lusso review from UK and Ireland
"The best car I have ever purchased"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
There was a small paint chip underneath the bonnet, this was quickly resolved by the dealer.
General comments?
Going from a 2.5 V6 to 1.6 I thought was going to be difficulty however this car has everything.
The performance is excellent.
The trim levels and general interior details are stunningly attractive.
From the outside the 147 is drop dead gorgeous.
Handling is superb.
