The Alfa Romeo 145 and 146, launched in 1994 and 1995 respectively, were compact hatchbacks that aimed to revitalize Alfa Romeo's approach to the family car market. These vehicles represented a significant departure from the brand's traditional, sporty image, offering practicality and affordability without compromising on the driving experience that Alfa Romeo was known for. The 145 and 146 shared a platform with the Fiat Bravo/Brava, but Alfa Romeo engineers instilled a distinct character with a more refined suspension setup and a focus on driver engagement. The 145, with its distinctive "shark nose" front end, offered a sportier appeal, while the 146 provided a more conventional and family-oriented option. Powertrain options ranged from 1.4 to 1.9-liter petrol engines, offering a balance of performance and economy. The "Cloverleaf" (or "Quadrifoglio Verde") versions, featuring a 1.8-liter 16-valve engine, delivered a more spirited experience, emphasizing the sporty heritage of the brand. The 145 and 146 were praised for their agile handling, sharp steering, and engaging driving dynamics. However, they also faced criticism for their reliability, with some owners experiencing issues with electrical systems, drivetrains, and bodywork. Nonetheless, these vehicles cemented their place in automotive history as a unique and memorable chapter in Alfa Romeo's journey - a testament to the brand's unwavering commitment to delivering passionate driving experiences, even in a more practical and affordable segment.
