2001 Alfa Romeo 147 Lusso review from UK and Ireland
"A well equipped drivers car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Stereo failed after 4 days. Dealer replaced it. No problems since.
'Rear fog lamp failure' warning when cornering. Bulb was OK, I adjusted the bulb '+' contact. Problem solved!
Squealing noise from engine (sounds like a loose fan belt?). Exhaust bracket replaced by dealer (Known problem)
General comments?
Excellent styling and build quality.
Brilliant road manners.
Interior is beautiful. Dash illumination is cool. Seats are incredibly comfortable. (cloth)
Climate control is a must.
The Bose stereo is the best I have heard in any car.
