2002 Alfa Romeo 147 Selespeed 2.0

Summary:

Teutonic Slayer

Faults:

None, simply superb.

Singaporeans avoid Alfa Romeos like the black plague because of its bad reputation for poor reliability.

However, the Alfa 147 is completely different in terms of reliability for Alfa Romeo.

General Comments:

The entire set up of the car is just simply superb.

Fast and exciting to drive.

The Selespeed is a gem.

More comfortable than a WRX, but with better performance than an A3 or Golf.

In Singapore, it's a bargain as the 2.0 Selespeed is S$10k to S$25K cheaper than the 1.6L Audi A3 and VW Golf.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
