Alfa Romeo 147 (2001 - 2009) 2.0 TS Lusso 3d (01) (2002/02) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

It says I'm cool lol!

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

Everyone likes it. The front grill and the grey leather interior pariculary impresses.

Would you buy this car again and why?

I doubt I would buy a 147 again as deep down I prefer coupes but I'm now in love with Alfa's. Next car will definitely be a GT or a Brera!

What are you likely to buy next?

As I said up there a GT or a Brera. I've onlty had the 147 a fortnight but if I had the cash I would probably be buying a Brera right now!

Type of dealer you bought from?

Independent

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£5,500

When did you buy the car?

April 2007

Did you get a good deal and why?

A little early to say but it seems like a lot of car for the money spent

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

For the looks, the extras and the performance

What was the dealer like?

Friendly, polite and impossible to bargain with!

What's it like to drive?

A quicker car than I thought it would be, drop it into third, put your foot down and it takes off with a lovely engine sound to boot. Revs very nicely. A very enjoyable drive although you don't really feel to involved with the steering.

What's it like to park?

Has a few blind spots and a tiny rear window so not the easiest car to park.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Not yet

What's most practical about your car?

I rarely buy a car for praticality so I'd say the sat nav!

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Bose stereo, hansdree phone, dual climate control and sat nav...a great little package
