2002 Alfa Romeo 147 2.0 Selespeed review from UK and Ireland
"Engineers have let the designers down"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Selespeed gearbox stuck in neutral.
On board computer failed.
Trim falling off.
Badly made leather seats.
Front spoiler fell off.
Alarm would not turn off.
General comments?
If cars could be considered eye candy then the Alfa takes top prize. Simply (in all senses of the word) beautiful design, inside and out.
Ergonomics are spot on.
Very slow for 2.0 unit - lacking torque and bhp.
Even on optional 17" alloys (also beautiful), ride is superb and the handling is excellent - best in class.
Definite leap forward for Alfa - maybe the next model year (engine?) will be a classic.
