The ALFA ROMEO 147 (2001-09) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.9 JTD 115 TS TURISMO SPECIAL EDITION is a compact, three-door family hatchback, offering a more stylish, characterful alternative to mainstream used choices such as the Ford Focus and Volkswagen Golf. Its distinctive Italian design gives it a sportier feel than many practical rivals, while the five-seat cabin and hatchback layout make everyday errands manageable. With a 1.9-litre diesel engine, it suits commuters and regular longer-distance drivers seeking useful pulling power and potentially economical running, as well as buyers wanting an engaging drive without moving to a larger car. The Turismo Special Edition adds appeal through its trim and equipment, although condition and service history matter greatly on an older example. Mycarcheck.com records only two look-ups for one VIN, so this is a small sample. The observed average private-sale value was £300, mileage 160,000, annual use 13,000 miles and six previous keepers overall. These figures are historical indicators, not a current valuation.
