Alfa Romeo Giulietta - It's better than a car!
I traded in a great condition 147 for my new 2013 Giulietta Distinctive 1.4 MultiAir and couldn't be happier. Great outside styling, and interior, superb handling and 100% reliable. The TCT is the best on the market, really good that can't be matched by an old fashioned manual. I have now owned her 14 months from new and I have only one issue, the Stop/Start does need high battery charge to operate but this is normal on Giulietta's. I am not a fan of Start/Stop anyway, especially on turbo engines so it doesn't bother me at all.

y and buy a European brand product that's made in Europe e.g. Alfa made in Italy, unlike bmw and vw's made in South Africa. Lower labour cost doesn't mean you get the car cheaper, it means more profit for the fat cats.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Alfa Romeo Giulietta - It's not a car it's rubbish!
Hi Car Buyers,
At the end of June this year I bought my wife for her 50th birthday a new Alfa Romeo Giulietta Diesel Auto from Alfa'a Parramatta Motor Group dealer.
What a dissappointment!
Within a week of taking it home the transmission failed with the car only driveable in 2nd gear. Three days later after having it towed to the dealer the car came back allegedly fixed. Two weeks later the transmission has failed again with the car unable to reverse up an incline, without MAJOR 'kangaroo hopping'. The dealer could only repair the car ...Read more
on the 12th of August making us have to live with the issue for weeks. The car has since developed issues with the forward gears. Add to that problems the auto stop-start has completely failed; the dashboard multi screen has issues displaying information; the driver's sun visor mounting has broken and this morning the car's Bluetooth functions have failed.

2013 Alfa Romeo Giulietta
I absolutely love this car. It provides great power, efficiency and handling for a true driver on a budget. I only paid 24K and it proves how the brand has changed in the market. In my opinion, it has styling reserved for 60K cars with LED day lights, slick coupe looking side profile, emotive design and elegance. I have mine in dark grey and it really looks amazing for a sub 25K car. The turbo gives it some real kick and the DNA settings that can be played with work a treat, especially in Dynamic mode. The dealer gave me an extra 3 years protec...Read more
tion which effectively provides me with 6 years warranty protection. It is noteworthy that the car has so far been flawless. I recommend it to anyone looking for a hatch. Great driving dynamics, handling, sharp ride, price, warranty and style base model only gets steel wheelsSimilar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Great car, Great to drive
We bought our 2013 Giulietta second hand with only 10,000ks so it was basically brand new. we've had it now for 4 months with both around town and highway use. So far we've had no trouble and it feels as well made as any Japanese or Korean car. The turbo 1.4L engine seems rather small but is actually nippy and feels more like a 1.8L. Fuel economy is really good at about 5.5 L/100k. The stop/start system takes a bit of getting used to(I could see why reviewers who have the car for only a couple of hours don't like it) but after a while its ok, y...Read more
ou start thinking of the money your saving in fuel. The DNA system works fine and is just like a sports mode button, we just leave it in neutral but sometimes I change to dynamic when in traffic. The only criticism is in Dynamic the steering has an artificially heavy feel about it. The steering in Normal mode is about right. One thing I notice is the centre consul restricts your leg and there's nowhere to rest your left foot when not using the clutch. I concealed rear door handles add a great touch but I feel you wouldn't want to pull on the handle to hard. May break? In all despite the quality reputation(or lack of!) of Alfa Romeo this car seems really well made and so we have no reason to think other wise and its also a real pleasure to drive. Reliable, Design, The driving experience. Key remote lock doesn't work well,No room for left foot.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

I have purchased a 2014 model recently and the engine warning signs ( injection system) are blaring at me. I live 3 hrs from a major service centre. Has anyone else had this problem? The car otherwise has driven perfectly in the four months I have had it. Odo is 88000.

No sorry no problems like that with my car but I’ve only done 9000ks. Would it still be under the 3 year warantee that comes with the car? Is so you should make arrangements to get to a service centre asap.
Hi Tess, sorry can't help as we never had this or any issue with our Alfa. Cheers, Alex
Unfortunately warranty ran out in February (3 yrs) which was before the 150 000 km mark. I am hoping the problem is minor, otherwise will need to a tow truck to drive it to the city:(.
Thanks for your responses though. Much appreciated.

1. What is typical service cost ( in Melbourne)?
2. How is the fuel economy?

Hi Kaz, not sure whether you got my answer! I don't get the promised mileage but I only drive in sports mode and I live in the Adelaide hills. I get around 8.0 litres per 100k using 98 octane fuel. My car's done 44,000 so it has only had one service (it has 30,000K service intervals) and the service cost $385. No mechanical problems so far, touch wood!
thanks a lot Andy
