    The Alfa Romeo 147 2.0 Selespeed has excellent performance, great engine and engine sound, high spec interior, good feel of luxury compared to other makes in its class. Ironically, very good value for money because of its depreciation. wait a couple of years and buy a relatively young car at a fraction of the new cars price. Real drivers car nothing in its class feels and sounds like it on an open road, not as fragile as many say, but if it does break down your pocket will take a hard hit. Reliability isnt great, Expensive repairs, Depreciation, Exhaust box will develop rust in time (once it hits 5yrs+ although not an expensive replacement).

    Alfa Romeo 147 2.0 Selespeed- A really good motor! Beautiful looking car from the front. I like the way the handles to the rear doors are slightly hidden to make the car more streamlined in the 4 door version. Handles well and good accelaration with the 1.9 version. Selespeed is efficient with city, gearstick and the paddles.

    A great vehicle. The Alfa-Romeo 147 2.0 Selespeed.
    If your an Alfa fan, you will love it, and if your not you'll be very quick to change your mind about it.
    The 147 design has been thoroughly made to suite the driver, and yes BMW used it on the 1 series.
    The vehicle has its astonishing looks, with perfect lines from front to back.
    The window design on the sides have been made so that when they are open that the wind passes into the car and not into your face.
    The controls are user friendly, the ...

    My Alfa Romeo 147s been fine, Selespeed is working fine, although I'm still not sure how good it is really! I like the city option- guess I'm getting old!
    My gripe is the suspension, which needed parts- a common problem- i was advised! It still groans and rumbles!
    The ride is very hard too- almost bone jarring, Ouch!

    If you are reading this, it's probably because you have seen an Alfa Romeo 147 and thought, as I did, "Wow, what a beautiful car, I wonder what it's like to drive/own?" If you are reading this to confirm your suspicions that the Selespeed gear-box is bad, stop now. You won't hear a word said against it here. I have not had a single problem with this car. Not one.

    This is a very personal review about a love affair with a car. I have owned a five-door 147 Selespeed for 18 months now. It's a 20 ...

    I recently purchased the Alfa Romeo 147 2.0 Selespeed car back in December and have loved it since buying it. I have got the Lusso pack which includes the leather heated seats, air con etc... The only fault I can find in the car is in the boot. My partner is unable to fit a set of golf clubs in there without having to put the seats down.

    The Alfa Romeo 147 2.0 Selespeed 3dr is great to drive.... when it works! Those old Alfa gremlins are still there, suppose it was asking for trouble getting a Selespeed, but didn't expect it to start suddenly deciding neutral is the best gear to be in when overtaking...anyone got some new underpants!
    The dealers are nearly as bad as Merc dealers, and that believe me is saying something! The vintage Lancia Dedra courtesy car was a nice touch from our local dealer, vintage cars could catch on - ...
