Alfa Romeo Giulietta (2010 - 2020) 1.4 TB MultiAir Lusso 5d (2011/60) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

I don't take for granted what the press say about a car (I would have bought a golf otherwise). I like good design, performance and sporting heritage. I am a petrol head and I enjoy driving. My car is more than a mean to an end.

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

I do get a lot of positive remarks from people admiring it more than any other car I have owned. People who get lifts in the car are always very impressed with it and surprised by it. I do also get a few envious people asking if its rusty and ever broken down. Hilarious every time.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes. This is the first car I intend to replace with the same car.

What are you likely to buy next?

I will be buying another Giulietta.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchised

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£10,000

When did you buy the car?

July 2014

Did you get a good deal and why?

I got quite a few accessories free and the price was very competitive. They gave me a good price on my trade in and they went the extra mile getting me the best finance deal.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

I have always wanted an Alfa Romeo and it fit all of my requirements.

What was the dealer like?

Very professional. I have bought many marks in the past and the experience from start to finish was leagues ahead of any other dealership I have been to.

What's it like to drive?

A breeze. It really puts a smile on my face. Very powerful and a joy to chuck round the bends.

What's it like to park?

I don't have any issues parking, especially with the sensors.

Have you had any problems with the car?

I have had the over a year now and I have so far spend £25 to have a wire repaired. That is all.

What's most practical about your car?

I have never wished the boot space were bigger nor do I have issue with fitting adults in the back. With the turbo charged 1.4, I get excellent fuel economy, and if I want performance, its there too.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

They dials pulse on and off when you enter Dynamic mode and the engine give a noticeable kick. The dials move up and down when you start the ignition. It feels like you are driving something very special.
