2002 Alfa Romeo 147 Lusso review from UK and Ireland
"Superb car, that won't disappoint!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Other than a faulty key fob, nothing has gone wrong since purchasing the car.
General comments?
Although slightly apprehensive of buying an Alfa, due to their well known unreliability and build quality issues, I am relieved to say that I am unable to fault this car in anyway.
It handles brilliantly. Thanks to the firm suspension, which some how also remains forgiving when hitting any lumps or bumps to be found in the road.
The engine sounds great.
It looks fantastic, both inside and out!
All the toys you would reasonably require are included as standard in this model. Dual Climate control, cruise control, Good quality CD player, electric windows, etc, etc.
It's very comfortable on long journeys.
You do pay a bit more for the luxury, but in my opinion it's most definitely worth it!
All in all it's a great car, which although Italian seems to be very well made and solid throughout. Unless anything better appears in this market area, I will be buying another in 18 months time.
