The Alfa Romeo 145 and 146 were compact hatchbacks produced by the Italian automaker between 1994 and 2000. These cars were part of a new generation of Alfas, breaking away from the traditional rear-wheel-drive layout that had characterized the brand for decades. Instead, they featured a front-wheel-drive platform shared with the Fiat Tipo and Lancia Delta, offering a more practical and affordable proposition. Both models were designed by the renowned Italian design house Pininfarina, resulting in distinctive and stylish designs that captured the spirit of the 1990s. The 145 offered a more athletic and sporty appearance, while the 146 boasted a more rounded and family-oriented design. Despite their shared platform, the 145 and 146 were differentiated by their engine options. The 145 primarily offered a range of petrol engines, including the 1.4-liter Twin Spark, the 1.6-liter Twin Spark, and the 1.8-liter Twin Spark found in the sporty "Cloverleaf" variant. The 146, however, also featured a 1.9-liter turbo-diesel engine, making it a more practical option for daily driving. Both models were praised for their handling, which was characterized by a sharp and responsive steering, making them fun to drive on winding roads. The interiors, though sometimes criticized for their plastic quality, featured a sporty and driver-focused layout with comfortable seats and a clear dashboard. Although the 145 and 146 did not achieve the same commercial success as their predecessors, they remain fondly remembered by enthusiasts for their unique design, spirited performance, and overall driving experience.
