2005 Alfa Romeo 147 JTD 16v review
The face-lift is a fine piece of work. The new nose drags the car bang up to date and makes an already different and alluring shape into a definitive stand out design. The 147 has never been a bland Eurobox or Japwagon, but it now really does make much of the competition look frumpy and boring.
