The ALFA ROMEO 146 (1995-01) 5DR HATCHBACK 2.0 TI is a compact five-door hatchback from the 1990s, sitting in the small family-car part of the UK market. It offers more practicality than a city car, while its distinctive Italian styling gives it a more characterful feel than everyday rivals such as the Ford Escort or Vauxhall Astra. The 2.0 TI is best suited to drivers who value engaging, lively motoring and a practical cabin, including couples, enthusiasts or small households needing occasional rear-seat space. It is less likely to suit buyers prioritising the newest safety equipment, low running costs or a trouble-free modern commuter; condition and maintenance matter greatly on an older car. mycarcheck.com records 20 checks across 10 VINs; observed figures average £300, 109,000 miles, 2,000 miles yearly and 5.7 previous keepers. These are limited-sample indicators, not guarantees, so inspect history carefully before buying this distinctive Alfa Romeo hatchback.
