2001 Alfa Romeo 147 Lusso review from UK and Ireland
"Simply the best car I have ever owned"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Brake Light switch needed replacing. Cost about £60 (including part and fitting at Alfa Dealer).
Rear Fog Light Failure warning goes off from time to time. Simply take lights out and move connectors to be more in contact.
CD Jumps over bumps.
Suspension a bit hard, but hey it's a sporty car!!
Paint starting to come off back box of exhaust.
General comments?
Great drive. Great comfort and lots of little extras available, Climate Control, Traction control. All of which I have!
Probably the best car I have ever driven. Goes like a dream, and can really move for a 1.6 engine.
Sounds great too.
Quiet inside.
Looks amazing, especially the front. Interior is well built and very nice to be in and behind the wheel.
Don't listen to Alfa sceptics. Alfa make great cars!
