2004 Alfa Romeo 147 Lusso review from UK and Ireland
"Great performance and looks at a reasonable price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The dash display starts up with the Rear Hatch is open, and sometimes stays on for the journey, sometimes not, but is always there until you release the handbrake.
The drivers seat has developed a squeak similar to a romp on an old mattress..
Paint work appears soft and marks very easily.
General comments?
Fantastic looks, appreciated by girls, guys and kids in the street.
Great engine noise, and decent power, even in the 1.6 TS.
Nicely spec'd and great interior, gives the feeling of driving a £15K motor.
The overall vision out of the cabin is restricted, but you soon get used to it.
The handling is superb, for a reasonable sized hatch, the steering is very responsive and overall a really good fun car to drive.
Took it for a long run from Glasgow to London, and the ride can be a bit hard and engine noise quite high, but it's worth listening to!
