2003 Alfa Romeo 147 Lusso review from UK and Ireland
"Buy one, you know it makes sense!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
A Few rattles when its cold outside, bad fitment on panels, especially where the bumper joins the boot (as mentioned in other reviews) a creaking from the front of the car when going over speed bumps, seems worse in the wet for some reason. Petrol Cap has been fiddly and never been able to get it to lock since I have had it!
General comments?
Bough the car from a Car Supermarket saving around 4k, went to a dealer who asked my budget then smirked and said "oh you will be looking for a f***ing demonstrator then" (Sidwell Street Motors, Exeter) so my decision was made for me. Drove to Mansfield for it, and was worth every penny.
Inside is fantastic, make sure you have the winter pack & leather, the stereo is great (even the none bose one) although I prefer to drive with the window open listening to the engine (yeah' sad I know)
The chicks love it because it looks great, my granny loves it for its heated seats, and I love it for the noise & the effortless coolness even for a 5 door!
Could do with a bit more poke for me, going to see the guys at autodleta for some tweaking!
