2003 Alfa Romeo 147 lusso review from UK and Ireland
"The best car I have owned to date"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear wiper stopped working (loose motor connection)
General comments?
This car so far has been almost everything I could have hoped it would be.
Impressive handling with quick steering.
Good performance with very strong pull at low and medium speeds. (pretty good traction as well).
At motorway speeds (70 mph+) the torque when overtaking seems less effective and immediate than I had anticipated perhaps due to the low rpm in top gear.
Great looking and comfortable car with more than enough practicality.
So far has been completely reliable and is loaded with features (cruise control, auto climate control etc.etc.)
My previous car was a type s civic (160 bhp) and for me the Alfa has been the more complete article for anyone wanting a performance hatchback,the fuel economy being the last but not least exellent feature of the vehicle.
