I have this, love punting it through the Adelaide hills. Has been reliable also.
Great review. Class car. Beautiful styling.
Thanks Andrew, we loved having it.
Saving for one of these atm to replace my 2011 1.6 Giuleitta, one came up for sale on autotrader a while back in the exact same spec as the one in the video, althought it's already sold :( that colour with the pano roof option is just something else
Love the way you concluded.
I have Michelin PS4s on my older Guilietta QV and they really outperform the car. So well worth the effort of getting better tyres
Alfa Won I put them on my 156 and they are brilliant! Also love my Dunlop 050
I have one...for 4 months now.....i freakin'' LOVE the car! Wouldn't change it for ''german'' rivals.
one thing, regarding the video: This Giulietta that you are driving/testing has the 6.5'' screen wit DAB+. The standard equipment is 5''.
Still love it?
@@kelvpoon hell yeah ;)
@@gregahrovat7131 just got mine today! A 1.4 multiair super. Adore it
@@gregahrovat7131 The german rivals are still much better than anything produced in wherever you come from. How many cars have you developed?
I own this model and it's a great car. Regarding the seat cushions, they are far from too short. I am 6 foot and the seat bases are plenty deep enough. The comment that the seats are designed for Italians is both incorrect and inappropriate. This car was specifically designed to tackle the international market and compete with the Golf GTI: so the seats were designed accordingly. Please think more carefully before you make such unnecessary comments.
couldn‘t help but smile at the closing statement (i‘m german myself and about to get my 2md giulietta). wouldn’t trade her for anything on 4 wheels.
the size is perfect (i‘m 5‘8), very smooth ride, easy handling, and parking‘s never been easier.
cuorw sportivo indeed :-)
2 year owner here, just some thoughts for people, the seating is amazing, but i feel they are made for someone who is about 5'8" because at just over 6' my shoulders dont fit into the contour well, the cupholders, you can never order a large drink again, it will fall, the V shape on the steering wheel is horrible on sunny days, it reflects right in your eyes, its must have been designed in winter LOL, random limp mode- basically its like its about to stall and no amount of stomping the gas will help, it last about 3 seconds usually, i have found if i to happen when i have almost gone to a full stop and its still in 2nd gear and then gone to accelerate off, say like at a giveway sign or speedbumps, and i guess its confused about what gear it should be in or something, if you arent about to be Tboned pulling out its no big deal and for myself i have found if i quickly toggle the gear paddles up then down it works fine again instantly, its not really common, but they are known for it to happen, with basically no answers from the makers
Great video
What a beautiful car
Great final line!
How reliable is that Alfa giulietta style ? As well how does it compare to ford fiesta st/ Kia ceed/ Hyundai i30? Very curious your opinion
Very reliable, we've always had a VW group car and an Alfa in the family doing 12000-15000 miles each per year over the last 15 years. The Alfas have always proved more reliable than the VW group cars.
Not too bad a review. Thanks for sharing. God, how I would've loved it if you were using the All Weather or 'A' in DNA drive mode, though. Such a pity to have seen that gone wasted, isn't it. A Golf man, I suppose? Or, boring as such, at least... oh well! Off to find a review where I can actually hear this baby squeal in the brilliance which is her Dynamic Driving Mode! On dry, clean, and warm tarmac that is, of course.
3.0/5.0 Stars on this one, mate.
Cheerio
3/5 - much like the car, really!
Chasing Cars oh no... the car’s a definite 4/5! Trust me. I know these things ;)
Stupenda
I wish they would bring this to the U.S. but from what I heard at the local Alfa dealer they're going to discontinue both this and the 4c sometime in the next year or so.
Probably right. Sad!
I think its 2020, the new Giulietta will be rear wheel drive that is the rumour.
How can you compare an Alfa to a Peugeot?
Great review!
What you will choose guys: this car or Subaru wrx (not sti) 2.0 268hp 350Nm?
Cheers
Both are much fun, you won't go wrong with either.
that 1750 engine was around before the 4c was if i am not mistaken
sure in 159
Great review, The car looks nice on the outside, But the interior lets it down. 4:06 The Focus ST only comes in Manual, there is no auto/dsg option.
Focus ST petrol is manual-only, the ST diesel is available as a PowerShift.
It's a shame the Petrol isn't or i'd have purchased one.
have you not heard about all the trouble the powershift or powershit unit is giving, do a quick google search if your interested, its a pile of crap, i bought a giulietta qv manual to avoid any potential issues this double clutch unit might have, and because, manual is life
Agreed.
I like the design and look of most ARs, just can't make the jump because the costs of parts and servicing
I think a lot of people feel the same.
Sorry but I don't think there is a big difference in height between Italian men and British men, especially in northern Italy.
^ his forefather was. the genetics is the same
I only wish we could have this beauty here in the US with a six speed manual. Alfa did patent the "giulietta" name recently(here in the states), here's hoping...
Fingers crossed. It's a good thing. And sadly the 1.75T engine is only paired to the dual-clutch automatic worldwide.
They can't patent a name. Giulietta is a name, not something they created
@@MybeautifulandamazingPrincess they probably mean registering it as a trademark
Oh boy you‘re talking so much nonesense in this video... how does the Alfa have scratchy cheap plastics? What does VW, Audi and Seat have then??? High quality plastic or what? Are you kidding me? Almost every button and dial feels 100 times better and of higher quality than in any other hot hatch in this
Price class...
You’re deluded. Line up a Golf 7.5 and a Giulietta and have a feel around. You’ll see.
Chasing Cars I know both cars very well! The Golf feels cheap as hell but is still 20% more expensive! Also it has no character, no soul... Just like a modern German :)
Chasing Cars i have a3 its plastic interior too?
I love Alfas but you my friend are deluded.
Sebelfisch Don’t make a fool of yourself, the interior plastics really aren’t of great quality in the guiletta.
Also go and sit blindfolded on the passenger side of both a veloce and a gti during a ride and you‘ll quickly forget about those clichés of emotional vs. soulless. I can’t stand listening to that crap anymore 💩
Love his hairstyle
How can one pretend to review a sport car without showing the slightest acceleration?
Nice Alfa Romeo.
Economically a golf makes more sense? It’s slower and more expensive with typical vw reliability
1:44 thats unneeded
I am getting a 1.6 diesel , 2013 model this week and I have already driven it: great car , although those 105 hp need a repro upgrade to 130 very soon. I’ve had a 159 some years ago and it had the same problem: too much of a chassis to such a low power !!! The chit chat about Golf is a pain. An Alfa Romeo owner would never consider a boring and vulgar Golf... a Golf owner wants a solid value car, with some space , with the promise of reliability (which is honestly an overrated stuff on VW , and I have had quite a few in my family ), and likes to be amongst the so called intelligent people who allegedly buy the better of all the cars. So, comparing a Golf to a Giulietta is like putting a guy who loves beer talking with a guy who just loves wine...
I mean, plenty of people make a decision that balances head and heart…and arrive at a Golf GTI
Chasing Cars , that’s a specific version decision. I mean, the global Golf sales are not for the GTI. We can argue about which sports version is better , probably the Golf, but if we talk about all the other versions the choice is between “safe buy because everyone said that” and “to hell with majority, I want something special” :) now take a look at a “regular “ 2010 Golf and a 2010 Giulietta and which one looks ancient and which one a sea of boredom!! :D
Compare to a golf? Really.
It is a Fiat Bravo witn an Alfa badge. You're right about italian, but not me. I'm 1,87 meter 2 feet, and my friends are similar
Bravo o no, meccanicamente è la migliore trazione anteriore sul mercato. Scocca rigida, sospensioni raffinati, sterzo precisissimo, rollio e sottosterzo limitatissimi.. Di cosa stiamo parlando...
The chassis is alot different, so is the engine differential gearbox and suspension so that’s not true
Show me where the scratchy plastic is, the cabin is as well built as any German rival, scratchy plastic man you need your eyes & touch tested
I own one, its literally everywhere on the center console, doors and dash
@@patrickvoortman1422 If you own one then you know for a fact that it's not on the centre console. There's a little of it top of the dashboard below the windscreen, & all cars have it there, apart from expensive ones
@@adrianpalmeredwards9755 no mate, on the bottom sides of the center console there is scratchy plastic, on the top of the dash its completely all made of the rough plastic except the box that's on the dash and the ring around the front part where the Uconnect display is, the doors have it on the top where the window meets the door, and the entire bottom half is scratchy plastic, same story in the rear, the rear air vent is surrounded by the scratchy plastic and around the cup holders and handbrake there is scratchy plastic, oh and glovebox is made of scratchy plastic. I have the Giulietta QV from 2015 and its definitely one of the most annoying things on the car haha
"The seat base short cause it is designed for italians"...that's offensive! Let's leave stereotypes apart for once, please.
He tried to be funny (which he isn't)
Lighten up
1:40
That's just stupid...
This guy is absolutely clueless lol
Why?
Still quite pricy... and looks a bit dated now...
A Honda fit is a much better car than this
