First time 147 owner

Hi all

I have been lurking and reading this forum for a while now (well since I bought my 147 2 months ago) So I finally uploaded a picture of my car and joined in.

Quick car History
306 HDI
Audi A3 1.6
Golf GT TDI 130
Alfa 147 1.9JTDM 16V TI


I found the 147 after a very long day of test drives (Ford, Vauxhall Nissan, Honda) As soon as I drove the 147 I had to buy it. It was the most fun to drive. After I got the nod from the wife I found this place and started reading.

After two months of driving it around I still love the feeling I get from driving it around and it certainly gets smiles from passers by, oh and its bloody fast!

A few niggles so far that I hope you can help me with.

I think thats it. Oh and I love my Alfa

Think you've got pretty good fuel economy for 42 ltr doing 400 miles, I'm lucky to get 400 miles from 60 ltrs, mind you mine isn't a jtd.
