Good Points

The styling is amazing yet the car remains inconspicuous. Feels amazing at motorway speed and with a lovely note from the engine. Handles like a dream.


Bad Points

The front is very low and has resulted in the car bottoming out over moderate speed bumps at anything above a crawl. Also engine 'variator' a common fault (makes the car sound like a deisel at low revs), mine was replaced but began to fail after 6 months, complained to the dealership (who fitted it) to be told there was no warranty on the part as it was replaced under warranty (sigh).


General Comments

Love the Alfa Romeo 147 but have to admit that I would think long and hard before buying another. Servicing is expensive through the dealership but you can pay approx. a third less if you find a good 'Italian car specialist' garage. Very reliable and best at high motorway speed, pulls lovely from 90mph up to 130moh+ (whilst driving in Germany) but mpg drops to low teens.
