Retro review: the Alfa Romeo 147 GTA Reviews 2024

This review first appeared in Issue 111 of Top Gear magazine (2002) If only no-one had been around to see. It just needed to be around the next corner and I would have been out of sight. Then I could have gone storming back to our base for the day at the Fiat Group’s expansive Balocco test track, face all red and fingers prodding accusingly into engineers’ chests, blaming them for my misfortune.  After all, who’s foolish idea was it to try and shoehorn, no, make that hammer and crowbar, a 3.2-litre engine into the nose of Alfa’s delicate little 147 hatchback? 
A throwback to our ditchfinding first drive of the 147 GTA back in 2002…
