Alfa Romeo 147 review covering 2005 To Date

Tuesday 25 March 2008

Midlife facelifts can be tough things for car manufacturers to carry off, especially when the car in question has already established a reputation as one of the best-looking models in its class. Such a quandary confronted Alfa Romeo when tasked with giving their 147 hatchback range a wash and brush up in 2005. By modern standards of automotive product planning, five years was a long time for this car to have been on sale with no major amendments and few thought the revisions would add up to much but the changes have been universally admired. Giving the 147 an even sharper, more distinctive appearance without uglifying the basic shape in any way, this is one of the most deft tweaks in recent memory. Small wonder that sales have been revitalised and low mileage examples are still hot ticket items in the used arena.
