Yes!

Either a 3.2 V6 JTS Q4 or a 2.4 JTDM Q4.

Amazing looking car and both of those engines are awesome. The 1750 TBi isn't too bad either!

Ive always liked the 147 GTA, cos its bonkers!

I know lets stick a huge engine in the front of a small car and send it through just the front wheels

My dad had a 33 ages ago now and it caused nothing but problems but he loved it!
He also wants a 156 and doesn't care about the problems, just wants the car!
I think he is looking at it the wrong way

I would love a 145 and would probably take a chance for the fact that you get loads of car for very little money, but I would be expecting it to fail

Yours is reliable as its a diesel Fiat Bravo underneath though, if it was a true alfa it would have broken by now lol

I had a 147 1.6 with 132k on the clock and it was faultless. Everything worked, even the buttons on the steering wheel.

It handled superb, wasn't very quick but chuck it down some country lanes and it was great fun. Oh and the noise was awesome too.

It was terrible on petrol though (40 mile to £10) and as with all t-spark engines, it used oil.

I paid £1400 for mine, drive it 3 months and sold it for £1900 so i can't complain. it got loads of ice comments and the women loved it

My Dad had a 156 GTA and it was a fantastic car until the day he was trading it and the engine seized and required a replacement
