The Alfa Romeo 145 and 146 are compact hatchbacks that were produced by the Italian automaker Alfa Romeo from 1994 to 2001. These models were part of Alfa Romeo's "Nuova Serie" (New Series) range, which aimed to revitalize the company's image and appeal to a broader audience. The 145 and 146 were built on a shortened version of the Fiat Tipo platform, sharing underpinnings with other popular compact cars of the era, including the Fiat Bravo/Brava, Lancia Delta, and the first generation of the Opel Astra. Despite their shared platform, Alfa Romeo ensured that the 145 and 146 retained a distinctly sporty character, thanks to their sharp styling, agile handling, and potent engine options. The 145 was the three-door version, while the 146 offered five doors. Both models were characterized by their wedge-shaped design, with a sloping roofline, large headlights, and a distinctive grille featuring the iconic Alfa Romeo "shield" logo. Inside, the 145 and 146 offered a sporty and driver-focused cabin, with comfortable bucket seats, a well-laid-out dashboard, and a driving position that placed the driver close to the action. The engine range was diverse, encompassing petrol and diesel options, ranging from the economical 1.4-liter to the powerful 2.0-liter Twin Spark and 1.9-liter JTD Turbo diesel. The 145 and 146 were praised for their handling and driving dynamics, providing a rewarding and engaging driving experience. However, their build quality, reliability, and performance were often criticized, particularly compared to rival models from more established manufacturers. Nevertheless, the 145 and 146 developed a strong following among Alfa Romeo enthusiasts for their unique style, sporty character, and Italian heritage.
