In this video I am sharing my experience of owning Alfa Romeo Giulietta in the last 2 years Storage compartment fix: • Alfa Giulietta Storage... Flap motor fix: • 10€ Alfa Giulietta Rec... Fuel flap fix: • Alfa Romeo Giulietta D...
Nice video, my Giulietta is 14 years old and has done nearly 200,000 km. Ive had it from new and it has the 1.4 170bhp multi air engine, fantastic engine - so much fun. Very reliable, though had to get a new multiair unit last year. I love it and as modern cars get uglier the Giulietta really stands out on the road. Now seeing them being driven by young people too.
Thanks, I totally agree with you. I could be driving down the road, I would see another Giulietta, and I would think "what a good looking car". The design is still relevant, they did a great job
I ended up with Alfa MiTo T-JET 114kW as our daily new-esh practical car. I think it's a good buy for the money: the engine, brakes and surprisingly interior space especially in the front are all strong points of this car. I still have two issues with it I can't find the solution for though: "axial" vibrations through the whole car when I accelerate hard and cold engine won't ever start at first attempt, I also think it hesitates on the throttle a bit. Other than that engine with performance ECU chip is pretty powerful. For the vibrations I did put new Continental tires, both CV shafts, engine and rear transmission reaction mounts, gearbox rehaul with new bearings, one front wheel bearing. It's better now for sure but the vibrations in acceleration are still there. For the bad cold starts I did put new spark plugs and very strong new Odyssey car battery, it's also better, but not fixed yet. Next step here new ignition coils - one day the car started to run on 3 cylinders only.
I thought so, that's why I changed both complete CV shafts with joints included recently. I assume joints on those should be fine as it is new... but who knows of course :( Only next thing I can think about is older front transmission rubber mount (but still in a decent shape), or maybe it has something to do with Eibach lowering springs with Koni shocks: car sits pretty low so CV shafts go from the transmission "up" to the wheels, which is uncommon. But I think it shouldn't affect anything - when on normal coils it's what happens naturally when car is more loaded and goes on a bumpier road. Car is literally hard as rock on those Eibach springs, but on the other side it corners very sharply.
I have a Giulietta from 2011, with 1,4 MA and now around 280tkm on the clock. Bought it in the spring and have been so pleased with the car. Change the oil around 10 tkm and clean the MA filter at the same time. Really great car to drive, looks good, and has that something in it which makes it feel special. I've converted mine to run on E85 if I want to, works great. LPG would be really nice, but here the conversion is really expensive. Would probably be cheaper to drive to your country if it only costs around 500e there.
In general, I agree with you regarding all Alfa Romeo cars. At least the most basic models, the top ones, like other brands, require more expensive and specialized maintenance, see BMW or Mercedes, which literally go bankrupt if you don't invest a fortune in maintenance and only at official dealerships. For my part, I have enjoyed Alfas, although I have had several other basic brands (Renault, Seat, Opel) for thirty years and this one in particular has always been more enjoyable for me and the problems, every day, are more common in all brands. The Julietta is undoubtedly a great car, for service and within it, undoubtedly the enjoyment. Good review, as always, friend, if I had to buy one, it would undoubtedly be another Alfa, maybe even a Julietta, thanks to you 😉.
Thank you my friend, I agree with you completely. I've owned many brands but Alfa is special. When it comes to maintenance, manufacturers are purposefully making them more complex, and in the end it costs significantly more money just to keep them on the road.
@@arcgarage yea gotta agree with that :/ But recently upgraded my seats to the QV version that rlly does a interior upgrade. For the rest u could install alcantara
@@arcgarage 🔝ALFA🔝 u mom slučaju za 4 godine i 60k svakodnevne voźnje, zamena bobine i kablova, kao i donji nosač motora zahvaljujući beogradskim rupama🙄🙄
Pozdrav, je l’ si imao problem sa MA elektornikom? Majstori kažu ako crkne MA elektronika, poprilično nije jeftina. Da li čišćenje MA filtera smanjuje rizik za crkavanje? Na šta treba obratiti pažnju pri kupovini kod 1.4 MultiAir motora? Pozdrav!
