The Alfa Romeo 147 is a sleek hatchback model that was introduced in 2001. As with the brand being Italian it is only natural that the styling of the vehicle is also Italian. In 2005 the range was given a minor facelift by the company, with the interior getting a upgrade as well as some engineering tweaks. The range is available with an engine choice from a 1.9 litre diesel engine with varied power and two petrol engines. These advanced engines allow for the fine handling of the vehicle. In all, the Alfa Romeo 147 is a reliable range with excellent features and a strong diesel engine.
