The ALFA ROMEO 147 (2001-09) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.9 JTDM 150 16V DPF SPORT Q2 6SPD is a compact five-door hatchback with Italian styling and a sportier feel than many everyday family cars. In the UK used market, it offers a distinctive alternative to the Volkswagen Golf, Ford Focus and Audi A3. The 150-horsepower diesel and six-speed gearbox suit commuting and longer trips, while Q2 gives the car a more engaging feel. Its five doors are practical, although rivals may offer more rear-seat and boot space. Mycarcheck.com records just one check for this specification, so these figures describe one example, not the wider market: it was valued at £1,300, had 142,000 miles and averaged 4,000 miles a year. It showed 12 previous keepers, making a vehicle history check and inspection particularly worthwhile. This Alfa Romeo 147 suits buyers seeking distinctive style and enjoyable driving at an affordable used-car price for enthusiasts.
