Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

The best looking car in its class is even better in metallic Cobalt blue. I chose this ex demo as it had the twin electric sunroof which gets used in all weathers. The seats are beautiful and supportive - being heated is an unexpected bonus on winter mornings! On such low profile tyres, the ride is surprisingly comfortable and the steering/handling is superb. The Bose stereo is brilliant, too. The engine is an absolute delight in terms of performance and the noise it makes. Also, this is my first automatic in almost 40 years of driving - and I love it! The Alfa DNA switchable setup is not a gimmick - dynamic mode is the usual choice but in icy conditions, All Weather mode gives added confidence. Bought asome a low mileage ex demo, the options added make the Giulietta QV an absolute delight to own and drive. Any downsides? The magnificent engine means servicing is every 9k miles. The highback sport seats and thick, safety oriented pillars make visibility a little challenging. The alarm be Rose on locking and unlocking - slightly annoying for the neighbours on early starts, I suppose. None of these would make me hesitate in buying exactly the same model again though and I'd recommend without it hesitation. Overall verdict? My favourite car ever!

How reliable do you find the car?

Has only ever required routine servicing - my local dealer (Piccadilly in Knaresborough) has so far been excellent

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

After over 22k miles of ownership, it still makes me smile when I see it and get behind the wheel
