The Alfa Romeo 145 and 146 were compact hatchbacks produced by the Italian automaker Alfa Romeo from 1994 to 2000. These cars were designed to fill the gap in the market between the smaller Alfasud and the larger Alfa 33. Both models were based on the Tipo platform, developed by Fiat, and were known for their sharp styling, sporty handling, and engaging driving experience. The 145 featured a distinctive three-door hatchback body style, while the 146 presented a more conventional five-door layout. This made the 146 a more practical option for families, while the 145 appealed to buyers seeking a sportier aesthetic. Both the 145 and 146 offered a range of four-cylinder petrol engines, ranging from 1.4 to 1.8 liters in displacement. The top-of-the-line models were equipped with the 1.8-liter twin-spark engine, producing around 135 horsepower, which provided a spirited performance. For those seeking even more power, a limited-edition "Cloverleaf" version of the 145 was available, featuring a turbocharged 1.6-liter engine and a more aggressive body kit. The models were not initially available with a diesel engine; however, a 1.9-liter turbodiesel engine was introduced later in the model's life, increasing its appeal to fuel-conscious buyers. The Alfa Romeo 145 and 146 were praised for their sharp handling and responsive steering, making them enjoyable to drive on winding roads. However, their build quality and reliability were sometimes criticized, particularly in the early years of production. Regardless, they remain popular models among enthusiasts, particularly those seeking a stylish and affordable classic Alfa Romeo.
