Modern Classics Mag have an article on 147 GTA vs Golf R32 in latest edition: https://www.modernclassicsmagazine.co.uk/driving/vw-golf-r32-vs-alfa-romeo-147-gta

Ok so I have owned the two latter cars in recent years and am preparing to change again in the next few months. Kept wanting a Brera but the head height in driver's seat amongst other things seem to have ruled that out, but part of me really wants an Alfa in some shape or form. So now...

Just had a little go on the dual carriageway with an R32, coming out of a roundabout, latched onto the back of him. We both knew what was coming. Started from about 10mph. Left my foot in up to the top of 4th gear, at which point I'd closed the rough 10 metre gap down to almost nothing, so...

...why are the mk V R32's from 2005 so friggin expensive? There's barely one under £12k with low mileage yet you can pick up a newer GT or 159 3.2 even for £3-4k less! Even the same age/mileage 130i's have fallen into the under 10k market

Hey there I currently have a GT Diesel (150bhp). Annoyingly my girlfriend has just got herself a mint condition Golf R32 (03). I say annoyingly because driving down the slip road to the motorway the other day she absolutely smoked me. This was embarrasing for 2 reasons: 1) Its a Golf so...

Apologies if this has been posted before. Selespeed 147 GTA versus rivals round a track in Japan. :thumbs:

Hi all, My girl friends cambelt has snapped on her 147 GTA:mad:mad: , it has done 49639 was registered 25th October 2003 and she has had no end of trouble with her. :wow: After 8weeks of her having her, her Auntie drove in the drivers side wing/wheel and caused 6k worth of damage, she...

Hi guys, I'm looking for some alloys for my 156, i know the pcd is 5x98, and I've heard that 5x100 wheels can be fitted using Wobbly bolts? is this correct? I came across these on ebay, does anyone know wether these may fit? Also what do people think to them, would they suit my 156, obviously...

heres a nice one for us alfa owners :D :D watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UA4aU0xRT_4

Hi Guys, Last night I was cruising home from the shops in my GTV (2.0 TS) and this guy in a brand new shiny Valkswagen Golf R32 decided to engage in a race at the lights. Long story short, my 2.0 kept up with him and started to pull away coming into third gear? Arn't the R32's supposed to do...

I was going to put this in the just vids section but thought everyone should see it:cool:

Hi there, i have just registered so i thought i shoud say hi! :) Basically i use to have an immaculate clio williams which i absolutly loved to bits, but after a good few years of ownership her age started to get the better of her and i had to pass it on to a new home which left me needing a...

Never saw this video before - very interesting take on the 147 GTA, much of which I agree with. Also, shows just how much better than the competition the 147 GTA was when it first came out. She's not perfect, she may not even be the logical choice, but she is just gorgeous, amazing and enticing...

As most of you are quite aware, I will be in the unique position to compare all these fantastic cars. I have to wait about 1 month until I receive my beast. VW called me last Sunday and informed me that the car would arrive end of January. I would love to see the differences between all...

Hi Guys, I haven't posted in a while but thought some of you may be interested in these (in case you haven't seen it before) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XC2B0YFM3_E Good Luck. I won't spoil the final results, but definitely worth a look.

Hello. I have rang custom exhaust company today to find out if i can have double exhaust system(like on golf r32 with one either side) fitted to my 147 and they asked if I could look under the car and see if mechanically the exhausts would fit! My car is at garage at min and really wanna know...

this weeks Autocar test drives the cars head to head and the alfa comes out on top. yes they where testing the 2.2 as well! over all the Brera basically one on its sheer beuty and the fact that it is a true coupe. good to look at and no space in the back. its all about the feel good factor not...

147 GTA`s nearest competitor? New R32

Help, its a sorry tale I know but I need advise. I year ago I had a 156 2.5, loved the car and the engine, came into some cash, wanted a 156 GTA but went for the R32 as I was worried about residuals. I year later I like the Golf but don't love it the way I did my Alfa. Also I now have to travel...

Hi guys. I'm new around here and wanted to say hi to everyone.I'm in the market for a new car at the moment and i've narrowed it down to either the Golf R32 or Alfa 147 GTA.I've test driven a couple of GTA's and im very impressed with it.However the Golf doesnt hit our shores for another month...
