2003 Alfa Romeo 147 Lusso review from UK and Ireland
"A Gorgeous Motor"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Condensation or water in Driving Lamp.
Brake pedal rubber disintegrated.
Creak on front suspension.
General comments?
I love this car, it's in Alfa Red with tan leather upholstery and 17" Sports Wheels. Unbelievably I got it new in May 2003 for £12,000 from a UK Alfa Dealer with full UK 3 Year Warranty. Had a Fiat Bravo before which after 7 years of load lugging was seriously goosed.
Was not sure about the Tan Leather as it's a bit effeminate, but it really lifts the gloom of the interior, even if it picks up dye from clothes.
Firm handling means you tend to try and avoid potholes and drain covers.
Love the hi-tech touches like the 'soft' interior lights and radio/cd mute controls, they just fade in and out.
You need a degree in IT to understand all the functions of the On Board Computer and watching the Fuel Consumption display can get very addictive!
