Alfa Romeo 147

Alfa Romeo 147 is a compact Italian hatchback produced from 2000 to 2010, celebrated for its sharp design, engaging handling, and emotional driving feel—very much in Alfa Romeo’s DNA. It won European Car of the Year 2001, thanks to its combination of stylish looks, well-tuned chassis, and driver-focused interior. The 147 was offered with a wide range of engines, from efficient Twin Spark petrols and JTD diesels to the legendary 147 GTA with a 3.2-liter V6 Busso. Today, the Alfa Romeo 147 is remembered as a driver’s hatchback—not the most practical or trouble-free, but one that delivers character, sound, and steering feel that many rivals of its era simply couldn’t match.
