2001 Alfa Romeo 147 Tourismo review from UK and Ireland
"A serious looker that needs more grunt"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Manifold shield fractured around mounting point.
Rear suspension rubber cups twisted.
Complete airbag system failed.
General comments?
Car looks beautiful and drives fairly well dealership OK, but a bit sluggish getting parts.
The interior is definitely one of the best around mine is cloth, but still looks classy.
Strange problem after first major service, tyres were slightly over inflated this caused the ride to change dramatically for the worse.
