2004 Alfa Romeo 147 Ti from Greece - Comments

Fuel consumption seems rather high.

Strange sounds occure from time to time

The driver's place is a bit narrow, which is good for sportivo driving, but bad if one wants to have sex...

Fantastic engine sound after 3,500 rpm.

Traction is simply everywhere. The 17" wheels are too much for 120 hp. The car is not that fast due to it's increased weight (1200 kg). Makes any single drive sheer pleasure. The sport leather seats create a similar atmosphere to a much more expensive car. Looking forward to tune it somehow (no turbos and other crap) after the guarantee expires. Can anyone tell me a site or anything similar for Alfa Romeo tuning?

Try using google with keyword "autodelta" (Alfa semi-official tuning ). Also, try speaking to your dealer- some of them are more flexible with warranty conditions than the rest of them, especially since they may provide you with autodelta parts.

I own an alfa 147 no ti version, but 120hp!I think that the 17'' alloys are not too match.. I must also add tha in general 147 is not a fast car comparing to peugeot 106 rally or Savo vts!Furthermore comparing to other cars like new a3 fsi 115 hp or the new bmw 1 or golf is the fastest with difference!I plan to place the ti alloys soon!i also have installed the alfa linea body kit and the rear spoiler of GTA!3mmlowering springs and a 2 lvl tint window!the color is red btw!nice review!i agree with most of ur comments..Athens.

So... brother, you should know how bad Greek roads are, thus concerning why 17" wheels with 215/45 tires are not the best choise. I'm thinking of selling my Ti wheels for the GTA ones (5 holes). If you are interested mail me: airborn_s@yahoo.com

Have you tuned it or even considered doing something like that?

I'll e-mail you man...

http://www.angeltuning.co.uk/ provide an engine remap/DIA package that will add about 15bhp-19bhp. The remap has also be recommended by other 147 owners - see www.alfaowner.com
