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

Always really admired Alfa Romeo's and when searching for my new car, the Giulietta seemed a great option for me. The car is beautiful, I have had a few compliments off people who love the look of it. Its practical (can get your golf clubs in), really quick, comfortable, everything i need really. There were a couple of issues, within the first week of owning the car, the boot wouldn't release on the button or on the key, the start-stop and alarm system became unavailable. So there were a few electronic niggles on the car, but all fixed under warranty. I find the DNA system slightly annoying, in N mode the car feels a bit sluggish and you have to work it harder to get the performance out of it. I mainly leave it in D mode most of the time, even when driving normally because the car feels more torquey low down and picks up well when you put your foot down. The car isn't as economical as I thought it would be, even driving normal I struggle to get 42mpg with a day to day mix of town and duel carriageways (majority on the latter).
