Alfa Romeo Giulietta (2010 - 2020) 1.4 TB MultiAir Veloce 5d (2012/62) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

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

Like the styling and ride.

Would you buy this car again and why?

I would certainly buy the car again, but unfortunately my latest experience with the local dealers (2 different companies) with the Mito that we also have, has put me off. They will need to have a totally persuasive finance offer to change my mind.

What are you likely to buy next?

See above - not sure now - but it's not the cars' fault!

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchised

Did you buy this car new?

Yes

What price did you pay?

£0

When did you buy the car?

October 2012

Did you get a good deal and why?

There was a special deal on the Veloce model, so the deal was quite good.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

I got this car on a personal lease hire, hence the '£0' price paid. Style and performance - I had a GT before and despite the reputation, it was reliable.

What was the dealer like?

Salesman was knowledgable and personable. Service has been acceptable but nothing more.

What's it like to drive?

Veloce trim gives a firm ride, but not uncomfortable. Smooth and capable engine and approx 38 mpg. Quite good for the performance.

What's it like to park?

Rear view not good, so recommend parking sensors.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Minor issue with clutch pedal rubber. Temperature sensor replaced ( under warranty).

What's most practical about your car?

Not sure 'practical' would describe the car - it's a medium hatchback - looks and performance are it's strong points.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Blue and me connectivity. DNA switch !
