Alfa Romeo Romeo 145 review covering 1994 - 2000

Wednesday 15 March 2006

An Alfa Romeo for the common man. It was a concept which worked brilliantly with the Alfasud in the Seventies but went disastrously wrong with the 33 that replaced it. When the time came to develop that car’s successor, the 145, the Milanese engineers knew they couldn’t afford another mistake.To their credit, they took an adventurous route, creating an unusually styled three-door hatchback that appeared in late 1994 and was a direct hit with traditional Alfa fans. Its reliability and build quality, however, made it just as popular with those new to the marque.The 145 offered buyers a wide choice of four-cylinder engines. These were initially the traditional ‘boxer’ type, carried over from the 33 range. Quieter and more powerful Twin Spark engines followed soon after, however, and were introduced across the line-up. For the used buyer, any 145 makes an interesting and sensible buy.
