2002 Alfa Romeo 147 Selespeed review from UK and Ireland
"Superb!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Had what I believe is a common problem with the VDC/ABs system failure. Systems still worked, but to get rid of message on display had to re-start engine, the fault was due to a faulty sensor in the brake pedal. My local Afla dealer sorted it free of charge.
General comments?
This is the best car I have driven. It is also the most comfy, if you can get the sports momo leather seats, definitely worth it! The Selespeed gearbox is the dogs, great flipping down a gear F1 style and hearing the engine blip as you fly by the rest of the traffic. This is a seriously quick car and get from 70 to 100 in no time. 0-60 is fast as well, it is supposed to be 9.3 seconds, I reckon near 7.5-8! Also this care gets so many looks around town and in in traffic. Also most people seem to go for the 1.6 or manual 2.0, so i don't see many of the selespeeds on the road, which makes me feel a bit special!
