Alfa Romeo 147 Reviews

I purchased a used alfa romeo 147 lusso approximately 7 months ago. I have always wanted a 147 to call my own ever since learning to drive 4 years ago and was extremely happy to have managed to buy an 03 plate red alfa at what I thought was a great price for its condition-£2800! I was warned before hand by several people that alfas are notorious ...  Read the complete review

I bought a new 147 special edition Ducati Corse after falling in love with it when I saw it in the showroom last October. I have since covered 10,000 miles in 5 months, and am happy to report that it is still as sound as the day I drove it away. The diesel engine is powerful and it is a lovely car. The only two minor niggles were a small rattle ...  Read the complete review

I purchased my Alfa 147 in 2005 after falling in love with the noise she makes. Nothing has the same growl as an alfa. When I bought my 147 she was already 3 years old, and is nearly 6 now. I spend a lot of time driving each week for work, around 300 miles a week in fact, so I have experience of her on all kinds of roads and journeys. ...  Read the complete review

I own an Alfa 147 TS and absolutely love it! That's not to say that I haven't had my share of problems like all other Alfa owners! The looks of this car certainly put it in a league of it's own, it's quite simply stunning! You can't beat Italian design! The great styling also exists i the interior, attention to detail is so obvious ...  Read the complete review

I purchased a new Alfa Romeo 147 in 2001. The car drives brilliantly and has some great features but I would advise anyone to run a mile rather than buy one. I have had constant electronic problems, especially with lights, and it sometimes seems to be more often at the Alfa service garage than in my own garage. However, the real ...  Read the complete review

I purchased a brand new Petrol Alfa Romeo 147 Lusso in June 2005. I purchased the car due to the car's appearance but since then learnt that looks aren’t everything! I have experienced two major problems with my car, A faulty cam variator is causing my car to sound like a diesel on start-up and also a severe clutch judder. I have taken my car to ...  Read the complete review

WHAT IS IT? The 147 is Alfa Romeo’s compact hatchback, produced in three and five door forms and competing in the Ford Focus / Vauxhall Astra market. This is actually an interesting, diverse and most popular market sector now, outselling all other types of car. The competition is fierce and many of the alternatives, such as the Honda ...  Read the complete review

I have owned my Alfa 147 2.0 TS Lusso for around 12 months, and have covered over 25000 miles. Suffice it to say, that while we have had some pretty serious technical problems with the car, in general for the mileage I have done, this has been one of the nicest cars I have ever owned. Looks ------- Definitely one of this ...  Read the complete review

Luigi was tired of being a waiter, so when he was offered an apprenticeship with Alfa Romeo he gladly took it. What Alfa didn’t know before Luigi started building our 2.0 TS Lusso, that Friday afternoon, was that Luigi had Dyslexia. Our car had already been shipped to England. The front electric windows were stuck, fortunately in the ...  Read the complete review

"Sportiva evvoluta" - Advantages: Driving experience, Style, Brakes - Disadvantages: Fuel consumption

-Undoubtedly one of the most beautiful motorcars in its league with an apparently solid build. However I experienced so much utter frustration with my first example (bought in February 2002 at 5 months old with a low mileage). The accumulated time that it spent off the road having mechanics attend the various 'motor control system ...  Read the complete review

~ ~ One of the main Alfa dealers here in Dublin is on Clanbrassil Street, a road I use a couple of dozen times a day in the course of my duties as a taxi-driver here in the city. So it’s handy that I know one of the salesmen quite well, and even handier that they have a rather good free coffee dispenser. (for the use of customers, ...  Read the complete review

I bought my original 147 in March 01 and it has given me much driving pleasure. The only thing I never liked about it was the colour! I chose Gabiano blue, which is apparently one of the most popular colours, but I have never liked it - so when I decided to change my car (I know I only had it 7 months), I looked around for something different ...  Read the complete review
