Alfa Romeo Giulietta (2010 - 2020) 2.0 JTDM Lusso 5d (2010/10) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

I like to be different and not follow the herd.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

They like it.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes, but I might consider a petrol next time just to hear the engine sing at high revs. I would miss the 50mpg though.

What are you likely to buy next?

Not sure, it is likely to be a long time in the future as I like the Giulietta so much.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Didn't buy from a dealer

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£7,800

When did you buy the car?

June 2015

Did you get a good deal and why?

Reasonable, the Giulietta was around the same price as a Ford Focus of similar age and mileage, but looks far better and is much more exclusive.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

The looks, performance, value and the fact I have had several Alfas in the past.

What was the dealer like?

Pretty good, although this was a regular car dealer who sold lots of different makes.

What's it like to drive?

Smooth, refined and torquey. Don't take any notice of the Parkers review, the ride is very good mostly and the engine is very quiet for a Diesel. Lots of go in the mid range, especially in D mode whiuch boosts torque.

What's it like to park?

Mainly ok, but rear visibilty is limited so reversing sensors are a useful feature. Unfortunately I don't have them.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Nothing, been 100% reliable so far.

What's most practical about your car?

Nice boot, reasonable room in the back for the size of car. Has 4 doors, but looks like a 3 door.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

DNA system, although I tend to leave it in D all of the time as the car drives better.
