I've been thinking of getting rid of the Vectra because I don't do enough miles any more to warrant using a big diesel, and frankly, it's beyond boring (although very reliable).
So, I'm considering an Alfa 147 1.6 (5 door). I was wondering if there are any known issues or problems anyone on here has experience with. Also, what are they like to live with in terms of reliability, fuel consumption, practicality (family of 4 with 2 kids - one aged 4, the other aged 2) etc etc.
Oh, and before anyone suggests a 156 1.6 like my mates have, there aren't any remotely close by that are worth looking at, and I am hoping the smaller size of the 147 = less weight to lug around = better fuel consumption figures.
Any help or advice appreciated.
Cheers
