2004 Alfa Romeo 147 1.9 16V multijet Lusso review from UK and Ireland
"Good car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing.
General comments?
Big bull of a car - good six speed box - heavy controls - but floor it in any gear and it takes off - good car good engine good box - but overall poor driving position. Typical Alfa, could never get the throttle position right.
Too big for me.
A Golf irritated me, and I floored it in 6th gear and it just breezed way - at the top of the incline I was doing 105 mph and 18 MPG!
On a tuned 1.9 TD, too much on fuel for me.
Alfas are good, but please sort the driving position. 1972 Gulia and a 1980 Alfetta, all the same, the poor pedal location spoils a good good car.
