Alfa Romeo 2007 147

Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

  • Economy

    Value

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Overpriced from a main dealer, but good value from a specialist or supermarket.

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Above average service costs. MPG is respectable.

  • On the road

    Driving

    3 out of 5 3.0

    The overall driving experience is good, but not quite up to the standards of some of the older Alfas.

    Performance

    3 out of 5 3.0

    I expected the performance to be better, it is good, but previous Alfas have seemed quicker? Have these newer models been de-tuned? An old 146 ti has better performance!

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Lots of problems, including power steering failure, rusted exhaust after 10k miles, leaking coolant system, and it eats tyres up very quickly.

    It's an Alfa!

    Comfort

    2 out of 5 2.0

    The ride is really hard especially with the 17 inch sports alloys, but it does corner really well.

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Not been nicked or broken into yet!

    Service

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Slowly improving, but still not very eager to help with problems. The odd smile from staff wouldn't go a miss either.
