The Alfa Romeo 147, a compact hatchback produced from 2000 to 2010, marked a significant shift for the Italian automaker. Replacing the aging 145 and 146, the 147 aimed to blend sporty driving dynamics with practicality and affordability, targeting a younger audience than the brand's traditional clientele. The 147 sported a distinctive design penned by Walter de Silva, featuring a sloping roofline, muscular flanks, and a large, expressive grille reminiscent of classic Alfa Romeo models. While retaining the signature Italian flair, the 147 was also more functional, offering a spacious interior and a practical boot. The car's success wasn't solely reliant on its aesthetics, though. It inherited Alfa Romeo's renowned handling prowess, thanks to its front-wheel drive platform and a sophisticated suspension setup tuned for agility and responsiveness.

Under the hood, the 147 offered a range of petrol and diesel engines, including the potent 1.9 JTD, providing a compelling blend of performance and fuel efficiency. The 147 was praised for its engaging driving experience, offering a rewarding drive that was both sporty and comfortable. Nevertheless, the 147 also faced criticism for its lack of reliability compared to rivals, particularly with its electrical components and its early petrol engines. Despite these shortcomings, the Alfa Romeo 147 managed to revitalize the brand's image, attracting a new generation of enthusiasts and solidifying its status as a symbol of Italian style and performance, albeit with a touch of quirkiness.
