2002 Alfa Romeo 147 Distinctive review from Greece
"As comfortable as an Audi, as fun to drive as a Citroen Saxo VTS"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Some minor noises from the interior.
General comments?
The car handling is magnificent. Full of traction and sporty feeling,it makes the 1.6 engine look weak.
The steering wheel is very quick and accurate.
The gear shift is a bit loose.
The brakes are great, but on jumpy roads the anti-lock braking system becomes too sensitive.
The front spoiler tends to hit the ground easily, at least on Greek roads.
Rear seat belts are a bit hard to manipulate.
