• Anyone on here ever owned an Alfa 147?

    I'm in the market for a cheapish medium sized car with a bit of poke and been eyeing up some of the later facelift models. They're far more appealing to me than the alternative ford focus, vauxhall astra type school run boxes on offer within my budget. I'm well aware of thier reputation for having shitty electrics and being generally Italian in terms of build quality, but are they actually that terrible in reality?
    Going to view a couple this week is there anything I should look out for?

  • Rust and avoid a Selespeed gearbox. Probably more info to be had on an owner's forum or buying guide, but they're the 2 main things I know of.
