2001 Alfa Romeo 147 Lusso 5door review from Norway
"A sublime, outstanding car with a few niggles"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Leakage from right front wing caused wet carpets. Dealer used two weeks to fix. Car's been dry since.
Some occasional rattles from dashboard and passenger door.
Driver's seat (leather) is very noisy when shifting weight. Appearantly easy to sort out.
Keep getting "Rear fog light failure" message, even if it is faultless.
A stunning, head-turning car with a general good quality. It's a sublime drive - even if quality niggles are annoying.
