Used Alfa Romeo Giulietta 2010-present reliability
Category: Family car
A used Alfa Romeo Giulietta would be a stylish alternative to the class leaders, but it falls short in a number of key areas
What should I look for in a used Alfa Romeo Giulietta hatchback?
Rear visibility is a problem in the Giulietta – although higher-spec models offer a reversing camera – so do check the rear end for any dents or scuffs. Look at the front, too, since the car is likely to have been used in the cut and thrust of urban traffic and city-centre car parks. Check the alloy wheels for any kerb damage.
What are the most common problems with a used Alfa Romeo Giulietta hatchback?
There have been reports on newer cars of non-engine electrical problems, mostly relating to the sat-nav and air-con, as well as the stop-start system working intermittently. In addition, the gearknob can work loose, occasionally even coming off, while the interior trim, particularly around the centre console area, has been known to become loose and make a noise.
