The Alfa Romeo 145 and 146 were compact hatchbacks produced by the Italian automaker Alfa Romeo between 1994 and 2000. These two models were conceived as replacements for the Alfa Romeo 33, sharing the same platform, engine range, and many body parts. The 145 was designed with a more conventional three-door hatchback body style, while the 146 offered a more practical five-door configuration. Both vehicles aimed to provide a youthful and sporty driving experience, drawing upon Alfa Romeo's rich heritage of performance-oriented automobiles. The 145 and 146 were characterized by their distinctive styling, with sharp lines, a prominent grille, and distinctive headlights. They were praised for their nimble handling, responsive engines, and overall driving pleasure. The Alfa Romeo 145 and 146 were available with a range of four-cylinder petrol engines, including the 1.4-liter, 1.6-liter, and 1.8-liter units. A 1.9-liter turbodiesel engine was also offered. The 1.4-liter engine, in particular, was a popular choice for its fuel efficiency and performance. These models were not only known for their spirited performance but also for their distinctive interior design. The 145 and 146 featured a driver-centric cockpit with a sporty steering wheel, clear instrument panels, and supportive seats. While both models were well-received for their driving dynamics and design, they faced some criticism for their build quality and reliability, particularly in the early production years. Despite these challenges, the Alfa Romeo 145 and 146 remain popular among enthusiasts for their unique character, sporty handling, and distinctive Italian flair. They are often considered to be classic examples of Alfa Romeo's ability to produce both stylish and engaging vehicles.
