owned two of these a 1.6 and then a 2.0. Brilliant cars. Full of character and style. Get nostalgic for them.
I had a 1.6 (120bhp) in the mid 00s and it's still my all time favourite car. Currently own a Giulietta which is a close second.
I have a 147 1.6 twin spark 105hp with 215,000km and it's a jewel, driving it is always a pleasure and I certainly won't change it😊
Alfa Romeo cuore sportivo
🟩 ⬜️ 🟥 ❤👍💪
One of my best cars. Proud to ride one some years ago !
👍💪
I have owned a 147, 2 x 33s, 2 x 75s and a 164 and have had very little trouble with any of them.
Yep picked up a sweet little 2.0 TS, (2004) in March this year, euros, 2000, steal of the century it's almost like new . Just love it!!
It broke didn't it?
I want one as my first car!😍More interesting than a 1.0 Hyundai that’s for sure!
This looks like it was Hammond's audition video for TG
i own a 2.0 JTD 120cv, as my first car, its just perfect.
Im buying a 1.6 TS as first car next week most likely :D very excited
Did you?
@@freeair7292 I just have 🫡
I am proud to drive one of the first series, 2003 ... 310k km and runs perfectly. Only clutch kit at 224k km
Look at my video parting 300000km 😁😁😁🤓
Just got a 2005 2.0 TS for $5K. Hell yeah! Great little car, and matches the GTV 2.0 TS we got for $3K :D
BLVCKK 1 I'm going to look at a 2006 diesel one for £2k tonight....48000 miles on the clock.....if it's shiny, I'm having it!
Nakadu nice. I'm really happy with ours. Epic little car. Would be great on the English back roads. I'm from Kent originally but Perth now.
Chris Winter great man. I had a 146 2.0 TI... Was a legend nice car for a low price 😎
Thanks hammond
the Italians producing art not automobiles
What a W ⚓️
I want the GTV as a Yank. That glorious Busso V6 singing! Although any of em would be wonderful!
nice the old one is the best
Which program was this? Doesn't look like Top Gear UK… Thanks for posting!
its 2 years before he got the gig on the all-new Top Gear...this was on a satellite channel called Men And Motors.
Awesome thanks!
❤️
A HAVE THE FACE LIFT MODEL ALFA ROMEO 147 Ti iz a Pleasure DREAM this Car😆
I didnt get the whole snooker analogy.
In snooker, 147 is known as 'Maximum break'. Think of it as the highest point
No mention of your engine falling to pieces on the motorway when the cambelt snaps?
Change it every 60,000kms and you wont have an issue.
no mention of idiots like you blaming the car when they‘re the one‘s who didn‘t look well after it?
Lol
you british guys have a nice SHOW but not relative good critics about cars..Thats the most about italian cars.If i see and episode from 90s you say just THE SAME THINGS about italian cars.For you the only buyer for an alfa romeo is somebody that wants to be different or stylish.Thats sad for you.Maybe you cant haddle that Italy is still active on car production but you failed
That was irritating...........
I didn't own this car
Probably the worst car that I’ve owned in terms of reliability and build quality. Nice to drive though.
Selespeed? They didnt work from day one.
Most people say the opposite so what is it?
@Seayin great handling. really engaging engines, especially the TwinSpark units. Until you don't throw garbage oil at them and follow the maintenance recommendations you'll never run into any problem. JTD are indestructible but sadly you can't get the 2.4 units available on the 156 and 166, which is by far the most engaging diesel on Earth.
Speaking about built quality. Check a 20 year old Alfa. Everything in the interior will be in great condition. Especially the beautiful quilted leathers. Then check a 20 year old Audi or BM, haha, the leathers will be destroyed lmao.
The only trouble you'll have have to deal is with soft touch plastic (thanks journalists for yelling on Italians don't putting soft touch plastics everywhere like tHe gErManS dO) that get messy around 10 years after build. But really easily fixable. You'll find those BS soft plastics on door handles (the "grip" ones, not the opening ones) and windows buttons. Just clean it with regular soap or if you want it really efficient a bit of amoniac. Will be fixed lifetime. And that will be exactly the same problem in any BM, Audi, VW from this era. So stop bullshiting on Alfa.
@@TONY_FEZ The Selespeed gearbox is really reliable. Only trouble you'll run with it is on the sphere side that push the hydrolic system into pressure that won't work as well as it should after around 15 years. It was by far one of the most advanced simple clutch semiauto gearbox of its time computer side managing fine clutch slipping and gearchanges without a hitch unless you're full gas.
More like abusive driving and poor maintenance the root cause.
