3/5 Carbuyer “Alfa Romeo has a strong heritage in motorsport and the Giulietta plays to this with driving experience that focuses on being sporty rather than outright comfort. The Giulietta also has more eye-catching looks than most of its rivals. The Giulietta has received a number of updates for 2014, which include reduced prices, some subtle styling changes, an updated interior, revised trim levels, and new engines. The range starts with basic Progression trim, which is followed by Distinctive, Exclusive, and top-of-the-range Sportiva Nav.”
“The updated model gets a new version of Alfa Romeo's 2.0-litre diesel engine, which has lower emissions improved performance, and is also quieter inside thanks to improved sound deadening.”
3/5 What Car? "The Alfa Romeo Giulietta looks great and is available with some good engines. Most versions are well priced and equipped, and running costs should be low."
3/5 Parkers "At the rear, it looks much like an Audi A3 and in profile the rather unorthodox crease that rises up the rear side doors is the most notable feature. Alfa dines out on style, but although it is unique, it’s not a real beauty.”
3/5 AutoExpress “Pretty design, attractive cabin and charismatic petrol engines, but poor driving position, lack of rear space and lifeless steering.”
