2002 Alfa Romeo 147 Distinctive 3D review from Israel
"A real classic head turner"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Well, I own it since November 2004, two maintenance treatments were made at the main dealer's garage, and besides the electric window of the passenger (mechanism was oiled free of charge by the dealer), nothing went wrong for its 3 years on the road' very reliable.
General comments?
The car is a great example for great Italian styling and motoring attitude. It drives well and sounds great. The gearbox is pretty accurate and the plastics and other materials are seem to be in very good quality. The interior is well styled and well equipped and with the bright colors (like I have it) it matches great to the exterior metallic green. A nice car indeed.
