The ALFA ROMEO 147 (2001-09) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.9 JTDM 140 TURISMO 6SPD is a compact, five-door family hatchback, offering a more distinctive alternative to mainstream UK choices such as the Ford Focus and Vauxhall Astra. Its Italian styling gives this practical everyday car a sportier, more individual feel. The 1.9-litre diesel suits commuting, regular longer journeys and small-family duties, with five doors making access easier than in a three-door hatch. The Turismo trim and six-speed gearbox add appeal for drivers who want comfort and engaging road manners, while its compact size remains handy around town. It is best suited to buyers valuing character as well as practicality. mycarcheck.com records just two look-ups covering one VIN, so its figures are a small snapshot, not a reliable market average: the recorded private-sale value is £800, mileage 64,000 and one previous keeper. Check each car’s history and condition carefully before buying in person.
