The ALFA ROMEO 147 (2001-09) 5DR HATCHBACK 2.0 TS 150 LUSSO REV 05 is a five-door family hatchback, offering a more distinctive Italian alternative to mainstream compact cars. It suits everyday town driving and commuting, while its rear doors and useful cabin make it practical for couples or small families. This Lusso version pairs lively 2.0-litre petrol performance with a comfortable, well-equipped feel, giving the 147 more character than many sensible rivals such as the Ford Focus or Volkswagen Golf. Its stylish shape and engaging drive are key attractions, although fuel costs and age-related upkeep deserve consideration when viewing any example. mycarcheck.com records 78 checks covering 18 different VINs, a useful snapshot rather than a full-market survey.
