The Alfa Romeo 145 and 146 are compact hatchbacks produced by the Italian automaker Alfa Romeo from 1994 to 2000. These models, designed by the renowned studio of Centro Stile Alfa Romeo, were the first Alfa Romeos to be built on a unibody chassis, a departure from the traditional body-on-frame construction. The 145 and 146 were closely related, sharing a platform and many components. They were marketed as the successors to the Alfa Romeo 33 and, unlike their predecessors, departed from the traditional hatchback design with their distinctive, wedge-shaped silhouette. The 145, with its three-door configuration, was marketed as a sporty coupe, while the five-door 146 emphasized practicality.

Both models offered a variety of engine options, ranging from the 1.4-liter Twin Spark to the powerful 1.8-liter turbocharged engine found in the "Cloverleaf" versions. This sporty variant boasted a unique aerodynamic kit, lower suspension, and distinctive wheels, emphasizing its performance-oriented character. The 145 and 146 were praised for their handling and driving dynamics, inheriting the legendary Alfa Romeo spirit of sporty driving. However, they also attracted criticisms for their build quality and reliability, which fell short of expectations. Despite these shortcomings, the 145 and 146 remain popular among enthusiasts, particularly those seeking a unique and affordable Italian sports hatch. Their distinctive styling and engaging driving experience continue to captivate a loyal following, making them a compelling choice for classic car enthusiasts and Alfa Romeo aficionados alike.
