Alfa Romeo 147 Collezione

Alfa Romeo 147 Collezione
Know the car :
Frankly speaking, the 147 always has felt a classier piece of kit in front of their rivals and but the only drawback that the car had to a very minor extent is finishing touches which was somewhat to a lower end for the Alfa. There are also some other brands and models in the market who offer the similar cars with quite a lower engine quality but they have the better quality leather and also a good and non-scratched exterior. So, if Alfa could make little changes in their outlook and the material used in the car by just adding a beautiful leather interior, and a smarter painting job, the classy car can become classier.

This was the feedback of the people and Alfa guys are one of the most grasping and R&D makers in the automotive world. They accepted the challenge and probable mistakes in the car and introduced a new model with all the changes the people have demanded like the best painting, the best interior and also the best set of alloyed. The guys of Alfa are truly responsive and they really are working harder for the best of the company is the statement proved by the introduction of 147 Collezione.

Know the changes :
Good news for the people is that all the jobs of improvement and enhancement is done at free of cost!! I mean even after so many changes, the basic price of the Collezione is kept the same as 147. So, if some one wishes to earn a better version of 147 with the radical changes like leather interior, exclusive 17″ alloy wheels, lowered suspension and special paint can be achieved by having the model of Collezione in the rate of 147. The colours are also changed and now with the Alfa for the first time you can have an Alfa car in a striking Ghiaccio White special paint finish with the dynamic option of contrast of black gloss roof. The new finished colour is more romantic than before and it has more chances to make you fall in love with!!

Other changes the Alfa guys have made are the leather gear knob and leather steering wheel with the option of remote audio controls, an Alfa code immobilizer and also for the first time an alarm system in the car. They also have the verities of innovations like remote control central door locking, electric windows, a trip Computer, an 8-speaker CD player, climate control, six airbags, ABS with EBD and ASR stability control. After making these changes, the company can make one statement for sure that, “After using this car, you should never make an attempt to buy other car, even the superior ones otherwise you’ll have to sell it as you’ll never be able to get adjusted with any else.”

Know the Engine :
Just like you have options in life everywhere and in every field, there are also two options in the engine of Alfa Collezione. One of the engines is a 1.6-litre T.S petrol unit and the other option you can have is a 1.9-litre JTDM diesel and you need not worry about the efficiency as both of them are developing 120bhp. You’ll just have to pay a little bit more for the diesel option by £1,000 more and if you are more interested in the luxurious ride, there’s a £500 premium for the five-doors rather than the standard three.

Know the features :
Most of the parts are same as they were used in the 147 model couple of years back except those mentioned above. There s still the same headlamps, just they are made sharper, tapering to inboard points. These lamps are also making a continuation of the previous 147 model by having the triple lamp clusters and the smarter bumper houses tiny front fog lamps and the same as used before air intakes.

There is a chromed strip at the bottom of the tailgate which is fixed in to dissuading following drivers from high beaming you. The rear lights are a bit larger than those of the original 147, smeared across the tailgate. A redesigned lower bumper the number plate and the rear end of the car is finished with some smart colours and also the tailgate is made high profile and makes a prominent and significant look of the car.

The most featured features are inside the car as the interior has come in for a great attention and the stylists charged chiefly with improving the standard of quality. Soft touch two-tone fascias are in, to make the instruments more legible. Other more elemental improvements in the latest model of Alfa are the inclusion of a revised suspension, aimed at improving ride quality. Also large number of ‘tuneability’ in the double wishbone front is being set up in the car.

If you ask us to make choice between two of the engines offered for the Collezione buyers, we’d definitely recommend the diesel engine option. Diesels are the most favourite and hottest models these days. It just requires making changes in the attitude and preference of us. As such there is no visible difference that rocks the petrol potion and downmarket the diesel option.

The torque of this 1.9-litre engine makes the big-boned 147 to look like rather lithe, sprinting to 60mph in 9.6 seconds and on to a maximum speed of 120mph. It’s even quicker than the 1.6-litre petrol car, a model which gets nowhere near the JTD’s average fuel return of nearly 49mpg. A CO2 emissions showing of just 153g/km also help to make the diesel car that helps to save the environment sharply.
