Alfa Romeo Giulietta (2010 - 2020) 2.0 JTDM-2 Super 5d Owner Review

Had this car for almost a year now after trading my 17 reg ST in due to several pot hole incidents which left me out of pocket and stranded.
The Alfa is very smooth to drive and handles the UK roads well, it’s the first thing people notice as a passenger. Only had to change the outside temp sensor in the drivers wing mirror which can be purchased of eBay for less than £10. Though there is no room in the foot well for a foot rest it still works really well as your foot doesn’t sit on the clutch and it’s not something you notice after a few days driving.
Generally it’s comfortable to drive but the arm rest is pointless as it’s too high for the sporty gear stick and pretty hard to rest your arm on, so that stays up unfortunately. I actually prefer the older style of radio as it doesn’t harvest your data from your phone like all new Ford cars. I drive to work, local runs, dads taxi so through villages, towns, Doncaster and Sheffield, so mainly 30, 40 and 50 zones and I’m averaging 52 mpg so I’m happy with that. On an motorway I can get over 60 mpg. Overall so far it’s been a good car and I would buy again.
