Motoring86%"What Alfa Romeo has achieved with the Giulia is significant. It’s developed a car that’s docile enough to be driven in commuter traffic and on cruddy roads, yet hard-edged enough to lap the Nurburgring quicker than any of its German rivals..."Read more

Audi Romeo Giulia reviewer's impressions

WebsiteProsConsNotable quote
CarAdvice
  • Wonderful ride and agility
  • Quiet, even at speed
  • Lavish cabin
  • Alfa character
  • Engine could be louder
  • Scheduled servicing prices
  • Fuel economy
  • Rear room
"With its curvaceous styling and excellent handling and dynamics, the Alfa Romeo Giulia Super is certainly a worthy rival to those aforementioned premium offerings from Germany. It offers a point of difference too, certainly in the styling. But, unlike its 1960s forebear, the modern iteration of the Giulia is unlikely to ever find itself abandoned in a paddock. Its natural habitat is more likely to be corporate car parks the world over, more mid-level bankers than bank robbers."
Motoring
  • Dazzling V6 engne
  • Opulent interior
  • Elegant
  • Involving to drive
  • Depreciation
  • Paddle shifter implementation
  • No manual option
"Alfa Romeo hasn't cloned the Germans or the Brits here. The way this car has been executed is very different to its rivals, with a level of character and charm that'll raise eyebrows. That it performs so well is icing on the high-octane cake, and I'm really hoping we can squeeze this car into ABDC 2017, which is just around the corner."
CarsGuide
  • Looks
  • Ride and handling
  • Pricing
  • Rear head room
  • No Apple or Android phone connectivity
  • Lumpy throttle
"The Alfa Romeo Giulia Veloce exudes charisma, with distinctive looks and fine attention to detail in its design and execution. It's a fun and refined drive, to boot. Is Alfa finally on the path to glory? Not yet, but this Giulia's an impressive step in the right direction."
