Saw a 147 with the prancing horse replacing the Alfa badge. You now have the world's least convincing Ferrari, congrats.
What was your best 'that's so Alfa' moment with the 147 1.6?

That was the day I figured out that I’ve been subconsciously taking the long, twisty route to wherever I was going because it’s more fun in the 147.

The coworker who’s always complaining about their job but deep down is actually really good at it and enjoys the drama.
How true is the Alfa Romeo 147 1.6 as a driver's car or just a pretty face?

It’s perfect as a daily driver. Not too powerful to be constantly fighting tickets, but enough pep to be fun. It also looks like a supercar, plus it turns heads.
What is the quirkiest feature of the Alfa Romeo 147 1.6 that you love or hate?

It turns out that the turning circle is surprisingly tight. This thing will U turn places you would have never expected. It's got invisible rear wheel steering.
Is an Alfa Romeo 147 worth modifying, or is it better left as it is?

If you do anything, stick to OEM+ mods. If you want performance, the good news is that Alfa's own sportier parts from higher trim levels or limited editions will fit without compromising the car's integrity.
How did the Alfa Romeo 147 GTA stack up against other hot hatches of its year?
30 January 2025 09:31
The GTA is a flawed gem. The chassis struggles to cope, but it's got an amazing engine. But dammit, I’d still rather have it than a Focus RS any day, because it’s just so damn dramatic.
What are the most common problems Alfa Romeo 147 owners have to deal with, and are they deal breakers?

The Twin Spark engines timing belt failures are over hyped. If you change it on schedule then you're fine. If you're one of the rare people to have one, the real headache is the Selespeed transmission.
Is the Alfa Romeo 147 a pretty face or a true driver's car?
30 January 2025 09:31
It's a bit of both, really. The 147 has that Alfa charm but it doesn't handle as well as some German alternatives and is nowhere near as refined or powerful. It’s more engaging than most hatchbacks, though.
What's up with the Alfa Romeo 147's 'Selespeed' transmission?
30 January 2025 09:31
Don't believe the hype about Selespeed, it's not all bad. It is also quite reliable provided there is regular maintenance and software update. It’s no worse than other early automated manuals.
