2002 Alfa Romeo 147 Lusso review from UK and Ireland
"Fantastic looks, niggly problems"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Annoying knocking coming from under the car - back to dealership 6 times, but still ongoing.
Dash keeps creaking - again been back to dealer, but still creaking.
Rattling in air con unit - apparently a leaf had found it's way in - I have to have a whole new air con management unit fitted.
Heated seats stopped working - waiting for this to be repaired.
CD changer continuously jumping and making the playing of CD's impossible. Took 4 goes to get this sorted.
General comments?
Although it has had it's problems, I still love the car.
It is extremely comfortable to drive as you can alter the seat up/down, forward/back and tilt. The steering wheel also moves in/out & up/down. Almost impossible not to get a comfortable position.
Interior of car very nice - lots of gadgets such as climate control, rain sensor wipers, cruise control, radio/CD controls on steering wheel etc.
Exterior of the car is just superb. It is beautiful and gets admiring looks almost wherever I go.
It drives well and grips the road nicely.
You feel very safe in it.
