If, choosing a car, you can imagine how you will look in it and what others will say about it, there probably is a reason to look at the refined, catchy Italian design.

FACE PRODUCT

It is hardly possible to seriously discuss the practicality, cheapness or generally accepted convenience of such cars. First you need to fall in love with their rapidly-predatory appearance, feel the excitement of a powerful motor, feel the unusual generic features. And when all this is comprehended and comes to the right condition, you simply can no longer break away from Alfa Romeo-147.

This very bright representative of the current "golf class" debuted in Turin in the summer of 2000. Since then, Alpha has not ceased to amaze with its stylishness and unusual technical solutions - one of those that are found only in Italian cars.

Today, the consumer is offered a hatchback in three- and five-door versions, equipped with a range of gasoline engines and one turbodiesel. In Russia, surprisingly, only one of the most charged versions of the 147th is on sale - with a two-liter engine with a capacity of 150 liters. with. She has a very rich “standard” equipment. These are not only alloy wheels, leather upholstery of the steering wheel and gear lever, fog lights, a bunch of airbags, a package of various electrical services, but also Vehicle Stability Control (Vehicle dinamic control), electronic brake force distribution (EBD), and control of wheel drive slippage, yes many other things that give dealers a reason to argue that the price of $ 22, 209 and 22, 613 for the three- and five-door version is by no means high. At least, it is not shocking against the background of equally charged competitors.

In the near future, one more solid argument will be added to everything - “one hundred and forty-seventh” with a combination of GTA magic for real connoisseurs. So far, however, it is not clear whether they will deliver to Russia the most powerful - the 250-strong Alpha or not.

WHAT'S INSIDE?

In short, all the same loud-sounding notes of personality. Strict and at the same time stylish front panel, unusual instrument scales scattered in front of the driver, front seats are emphasized in relief with side supports, and nice controls. Everything here is as if created in order to enjoy unity with the machine. However, already in the process of dating you pay attention to a certain overabundance of expression in each toggle switch, in each stroke on the panel, although in fact the devices, for example, are not so readable, the seats are not so sporty. And you involuntarily catch yourself thinking that you would gladly sacrifice something for the sake of rationality.

At the same time, if you look closely at this “Alpha” and, most importantly, adapt, you will find in it practically all the “benefits of civilization” of cars of this class. That's just they are scattered around the cabin rather chaotically, as if they appeared later, already in the finished car. And yet, if you take these features of the Italian approach, you will find with some surprise that Alfa Romeo-147 is not only a joy for the hot driver, but also a very comfortable car with acceptable rear seats, a thoughtful and rational trunk, all kinds of drawers for small things.

It turns out that here is not only a separate climate control for the driver and front passenger, but also heated outside mirrors, seats, not to mention additional duplicating toggle switches on and around the steering wheel. So lovers of comfort in any case do not feel hurt. I must repeat, just get used to it a little.

HOW DOES?

Can you imagine a steering wheel doing two turns from lock to lock? And the hypersensitive brake pedal, which you need to breathe, not push. Or, for example, comfortable suspensions and integral, almost sports responses of the car. These are business cards of the same Alpha, when you can admire the car and at the same time talk about the features of its purely Italian character. He is not at all simple. Of course, there’s no talk of any special Russian adaptation - the consumer buys a practically European car designed for high-quality gasoline and good roads.

The engine is, at first glance, dimensioned and traction. It allows, especially without straining, to get started, smoothly accelerate and in the city to use mainly higher gears. However, “Alpha” would not be “Alpha” if after 3700 rpm the motor did not feel “pickup”, which makes you forget about the measured life. Having penetrated new notes in the engine settings, I already want to twist it and twist it until the limiter trips. I must say, the car does not perceive this as violence against itself: first, the “long” first and second, then gear ratios all come together and get closer, allowing you to quickly and effectively control the acceleration process.
