    3 Stars Beauty is not Enough...! Review with images 28/04/2005

    Advantages Advantages Looks, Performance

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Service, Reliability

    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 car's strengths, it is not a particularly big car, but powerful, and an excellent streamlined shape, even down to those hidden rear door handles, which make most passengers think it is only a three door! Its styling does appeal to most car drivers, and the car itself won Car ... more

    4 Stars you sexy sexy thing... 20/08/2002
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages stunning looks, great drive, great interior and build quality

    Disadvantages Disadvantages fairly pricey to maintain (fuel consumption, insurance etc.) possible future depreciation

    What I purchased: I have just purchased a 1 year old alfa 147 2.0 lusso Tspark in alfa red with black momo leather trim, 17" super sport alloys and a climate pack (more later) Also looked at: I was also looking at a Mini Cooper and Cooper S and also just for a fun a Honda Civic Type R. The Mini was the real competition. It had comparable performance and price. Why I chose the alfa: In the end I chose the alfa, it had the looks, the performance and the space. The mini was great but just a little too small for me. I like driving friends around and giving lifts and the mini really is very small ... more

    5 Stars The Only Car To Own! 23/03/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Quick, Stylish, Comfortable, Great Drive....

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Could it have too much..??

    I bought my Alfa 147 after much deliberating over which car to get. On my shortlist was a BMW 3 Series, a Peugeot 307cc, a Ford Ka Convertible, a Toyota MR2, and finally if I found enough money a Vauxhall VX 220! I decided on the Alfa after taking it for a test drive, and reading through the spec book you can pick up from any dealer. This car is fully loaded! And it was so good to drive my mind was made up instantly. Unfortunately, as I wanted so many extra's on the car I decided to buy it from an independent importer, (but thats another story) and to cut a long story short I ended up waiting ... more

    5 Stars Finally bought an Alfa Romeo....and loving it! 09/06/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Style, equipment levels, ride.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Petrol consumption, insurance costs.

    From an early age, I've always hankered after cars that dare to look a little bit different and had always fancied an Alfa Romeo. Having now reached an age where I've owned several cars, Ford, Vauxhall, Citroen, Renault and Ford again, I decided the time was right to be that bit decadent and treat myself to an Alfa. The model I've bought is the 2.0 TS Selespeed Lusso, just over a year old with 3500 miles on the clock which is absolutely stunning in black with light grey Momo leather upholstery. Having paid just £12000 for it (best part of £20000 new with the extras it's got), they're are ... more

    4 Stars Took the Plunge on a 147 2ltr lusso 07/11/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Looks,Performance,Handling

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Servicing,Fuel consuption

    Now at the age where insurance gets cheaper I took the plunge and bought a 3yr old 2ltr lusso. They look the dogs and will turn heads,all my friends think it looks great,and you even want to have the windows down just to hear that engine note on acceleration.The handling is best I ever driven beating my previous Audi A3 and Golf gti on the back roads,suspension is hard so not really a comfy mile eater,bet then you dont buy 1 for doing miles, but it does go through front tyres quickly and dont think budget tyres are an option for this car.Plenty of gadgets and the bose amp and speakers give it ... more

    5 Stars Bella Alfa Romeo 16/06/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great to drive and look at. Reliable and well built.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Insurance can be pricey with some companies.

    Well I purchased the 147 2.0 Lusso last July (2003), brand new, from one of the many car supermarkets. It was just £13500 and has everything from the 17" supersports Alloys to Leather interior, sunroof as well as the comfort pact and winter pack. I saved around £6000 on the UK retail price and therefore should protect myself from any early depreciation. Should you buy this car? Well YES it drives like it is on rails and the ride is still smooth considering it's on the wide 17" low profile tyres. Mine came with Goodyear F1 Eagle tyre which give excellent grip. I have had no problems and the ... more

    4 Stars Quick review of Alfa Romeo 147 2.0 Twin Spark Lusso 5dr by Ikea_Junkie 15/03/2008
    Have had this car for 4 years, and can see no reason to change it. Responsive steering and accelerator, comfortable ride and great styling (with the rear door handles hidden, something that other manufacturers have since copied). A car that's neither too girlie or too masculine. Don't take my word for it! Take one out for a test-drive!

    5 Stars By jove, I think they've done it! 03/04/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great Handling, Lovely Noise!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages The fear that Alfa built it...

    When the 3 year warranty expired a year ago, I waited with baited breath for everything to fall apart...and it hasn't! Maybe, just maybe, Alfa have done it properly this time. It looks lovely from the front (OK the back is not quite there), it's surprisingly nippy, the interior is very comfortable and far exceeds the quality of anything else in its peer group, and the engine just sounds like it means business. And I know it's a cliche to say it's corners like it's on rails, but... Given how much more expensive but dull the comparable VW Golf and Audi A3 are, I'm dead chuffed I took the chance ... more
