Always regarded as a masterpiece of design and desirability, the Alfa 147 is renowned for its distinctiveness and verve. It enhances everyday driving satisfaction to the point where an ordinary trip becomes an experience packed with emotion. Contemporary Italian design both inside and out contains unique details such as the striking headlight clusters which accentuate the prominent shield with its five metal bars topped by the famous Alfa Romeo badge. With a range of powerful diesel and petrol engines, impeccable roadholding and the latest in technology, safety and comfort, the Alfa 147 is a true luxury hatchback. Available with either three or five doors, the Alfa 147 exudes the pride, the passion and sheer exuberance of Italian design that is uniquely ‘Alfa Romeo’.

Alfa Romeo 147 1.6 TS Lusso 3 dr 2002

I was some what sceptical about buying this nearly 4 years ago due to Alfa’s reputation, but can honestly say that this has been probably the most reliable and best looking and handling car I’ve owned, after Fords, VWs, Renault. The car, even now at 7 years old is still unrivalled for styling on anything you’ll see day to day on the road. Quality of build and interior is excellent and is very comfortable and great to drive. Space is a bit tight in the back and the boot is pretty small, but this car’s not about practicality. Only downsides are the higher than average cost of servicing and parts, but then that’s what has probably meant that I’ve had no problems; only other issues are sometimes stiff gearchange but this can be cheaply rectified every couple of years (gate gets gunged up). Overall a great fun car that is well styled and put together and will make you smile on the open (twisty) road.

Great handling and ride, only let down is expensive servicing and aftersales...But had no major problem from new...I would consider buying another Alfa but I just hope they improve the aftersales.

The 147 is a very enjoyable car and at six years old still providing very reliable motoring. I have had all sorts of cars including three Audis, a Saab, two VWs and a Jaguar (it was rubbish) and the Alfa is as relaible as all of them and much better fun to drive. Other than service costs, the only repair has been the back bushes - replace them with the polyurithane variants and they will last for a long time and give better handling. The ride & handling are far better than others in the class I have driven and the engine is wonderfull when wound past 5000RPM. This car really puts a smile on your face and has style in spades. If you are thinking about another bland badge from Bavaria, treat yourself to a car with real pedigree you never know, you might enjoy driving again.

Alfa Romeo 147 147 Lusso 2002

Looks good but: Service very expensive. Last service > £1200 for a 6 year old low mileage (42000) car. Unreliable. Several ’collapses’ labeled ’engine control centre failure’. Very expensive to fix. Piston fracture requires new engine at cost of >£3000. At 6 years? Never an Alfa again.
