2003 Alfa Romeo 147 JTD review from UK and Ireland
"Brilliant"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Power steering pipes worn at 16000.
Hand brake pads stuck on to discs.
General comments?
What a brilliant car to drive and such goods looks. Accelerates well, holds the road brilliantly and gives me 50+ to the gallon. (I love it, I'm 62, my 23 year son loves it also.) Both son and son in law have bought Alfa's as a result of using mine.
So much adjustment! I'm 6 feet 3 inches and my wife 5ft 2ins, and we both find the car comfortable. Lots of head room.
