2001 Alfa Romeo 147 Lusso review from UK and Ireland
"Wonderful car, poor reliability"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Continuous pulling to the left which remains unresolved. Dealer unable to identify problem.
Rear suspension bushes worn.
Brakes grind. Checked by dealer, but problem remains.
Vibrating and whistling noise from exhaust. Dealer indicated that flexi pipe vibrates, but no problem. Third party examination stated that front pipe of exhaust required replacement. 9000 miles driven at that point.
General comments?
Wonderful car to drive.
Handles very well.
Dealers inability to resolve problems is frustrating.
