Why do you say it's an abomination? Genuinely curious by the way, not disagreeing with you.

All show, making it look like the powerful, very fast, legendary WRX multiple rallye winner, while in fact it is nearly as slow as a 1l Micra

Still a bit harsh a description for a reliable car, it is genuinely 4WD although hopefully the winter is now nearly over. Very cheap to run because of the LPG and still very reasonably priced (particularly because it includes the LPG installation)

Edit: oops - LPG is extra. Not such a bargain.

I appreciate theres not much NCT left on it but it does have a NCT so it qualifies for the thread. If mileage is genuine and it checks out it must be worth the money. A good inspection and spin would tell a lot.

Ad short on details but appears to have leather and well up in the years too if that sorta thing floats your boat. I do like them last of the line facelift models. That bit more tasty looking than their replacement if you ask me, which are a ford focus in drag after all:D

It is actually what it's called. So that's what I call it.

If a car his a baby on board sticker I wouldn't buy it. I hate kids, fingers all over the windows, baby milk anf puke.

Seriously the condition, spec, history and value are want matters not you prejudices.

Plus a car with " the ring " sticker might have an owner wit a bit or passion for motorsport and cars in general , so someone who looks after his car and understands a need for regular servicing etc. , so not a bad thing .

The other sticker at the bottom is probably hiding a hole from a towbar?

Towbar comes out from below the bumper. You mean a swan neck that got pushed through?

That is something nice, first time i see 1.6 in Ireland.
Bit pricey, but looks clean, a nice little and relatively fast car.

It has the decent 1.6 16v engine too. Not to be confused with the 1.6 vvt disaster.

Shameless plug. Bodywork is a bit rough but she's solid underneath it.

I know it doesn't fall into Bangernomics rules but I've nobody to share the happiness with tonight.
As from today I'm a proud owner of THIS Alfa Romeo 147 Lusso
The car is running fine, no rattles from the variator, has 4 nearly new Michelin tyres, had recent timing belt and the now deceased owner had it for 4 years.

Only issues are - the radio code needed and the thermostat is stuck open.
The 2.0 has only 30 BHP more compared to 1.6 Lusso, but it's really noticeable difference.

My wife is down with flu, so I got myself a new love for Valentines weekend.

No NCT Mentioned, but how cool is this, used to get to drive the bosses one back in the early 90's, was one of the sweetest revving cars .

Definition of Bangernomics. Heaps of tax, loads of NCT and low mileage from this cheap Jap econobox. 4 new tyres and a timing belt/water pump changed practically yesterday.
