The ALFA ROMEO 147 (2001-09) 3DR HATCHBACK 2.0 JTS 150 LUSSO is a compact, three-door family hatchback with distinctly Italian style. In the UK used-car market, it offers a characterful alternative to mainstream rivals such as the Ford Focus and Volkswagen Golf, appealing to buyers who value design and an engaging drive alongside everyday practicality. The 2.0-litre petrol engine and Lusso trim give this 147 a lively, well-equipped feel, while its compact size suits commuting, town driving and couples or small households. Three doors make access less convenient than in five-door rivals, so it is best for people who rarely need to carry passengers in the rear.
