It's ironic that Alfa fans always purr about how beautiful Alfas are yet every Alfa since the chrome bumpered Alfetta Coupe of the 70s has been as ugly as an ape's anus.
Some people who buy Ford Focuses and Volkswagen Golfs only buy them because they NEED them.
Most people who but Alfa Romeo hatchbacks like the 147 and the Giulietta buy them because they WANT them.
Alfa Romeos were built by people who put aesthetics above practicality so that's why they don't get everything right. The Guilietta like the Fiat 500 is nothing more than an accessory.
I'm surprised how Alfa Romeo still survives in such desperate times like today where practicality is priority.
@ruddypeasant when VW acquires a car company they respect its essence, like the Mulsanne. However, when an AMERICAN car company takes over it, like GM, you should start panicking:)
I actually hope VW would take over it, so then they would pump it with money and make cars that stands out and represent their brand like bugatti and Lamborghini
@Desmonddd2002 well I disagree. I think the anti-American vibe is more to do with your own prejudices. I would worry more if a Chinese company bought it. e.g Roewe
VW have sucked the soul out of Lamborghini. Bugatti were famous for lightweight. Ettore Bugatti joked that Bentley's cars were 'the fastest trucks in the world' - something I think quite apt for the Veyron. Bentleys are now completely grotesque without class or taste. You have the right to your opinion, but you are wrong :-)
@ruddypeasant When Lamborghini launched the Aventador, Lamborghini maintains that the Flagship lambo would always use a V12 as its engine, despite all the eco talk now (put aside eco-prob. now). When they launched the new mulsanne for bentley, they retained the 6.75 Liter twin turbo charged V8 despite the fact that the car can be powered by another equally impressive and eco-friendly engine. Show me some good examples of the american?
@Desmonddd2002 Ford did a good job with Jaguar and Aston Martin although they were a bit proscriptive with the designs. I think that it would be much more prosciptive with the Germans tbh. There's no British engineering in Bentley or RR anymore but there was plenty at Jag etc. Everything would come in a box from Germany if VW bought Alfa. Just more of the same platform sharing. The Fabia vrs, audi a1, seat ibiza, vw polo gti and alfa mito would all be the same. all german. all souless.
@Desmonddd2002 When Chrysler owned Lamborghini they made the Diablo. A car with soo much character like the Lambos of old! The new ones are not like Ferrucio intended imo. They're seriously quick, but too sanitised. No drama or theatre anymore.
@ozgkrc ı am not sure about the answer but ı noticed that, if the lights are LEDs they seem like fading in videos. I've seen this before in different car videos.
Alfa can never rival VW its nicly done and all that but its to expensive and doesnt have VW reliability. its a really thirsty car too. this model its a improvement no doubt but it got a long way to catch up with VW. ........I would have loved to see Alfa interior on a VW .
@MeMo5682 ; Well actually Alfa are as reliable as any VW from the past 10 years, you won't see any VW tecnicians sitting around all day twiddling their thumbs outside of normal servicing, they are very busy like most
garages these days.
Alfa have been galvanising their cars for the past 15 years and using Bosch parts so if you had owned one before posting rubbish you'd have know all of this.
I would like to belive you but sorry ........................Alfa Romeo its just not worth buying it . This car is depreciate so quick not to mention that past 60 thousand Km this cars stats giving all kinds of problems and very few alfas make it over 200 THousand Km which is no problem with any German cars. It costs more to run a alfa than a Mercedes.
This is not jus me talking rubish smart ass check the reviews about alfas the latest Spyder gets only 2 stars same as Great Wall.
@MeMo5682 ; Well thats easy, don't buy one...its all about the driving and owning not how many stars it has or if some office bod from what car or which mag says the Toyota Aygo is the worlds best car..enjoy your dull German car, i can say that from experience seeing as i would only drive German brands until i discovered the Italian brands are so much more interesting and 100 times better looking...
there is a lot written about design and good taste , good design is not subjective. Alfa designers know everything about good taste so...be carfefull before talking about this "ugly" or "not beautifull" car.
there is a lot written about design and good taste , good design is not subjective. Alfa designers know everything about good taste so...be carfefull before talking about this "ugly" or "not beautifull" car.
Alfa has a poor track record in our reliability surveys. This year its worst model, the GTV (’96-’03), recorded a shocking 77 failures per 100 cars, with the GT (’05-) just behind at 68 per 100. Just under a third of all Alfa failures were down to the axles and suspension, with engine faults the next biggest issue.
@xaviqaz No, not at all, I am getting my own back on a virulent little troller called pinin500 who has abused me and my choice of cars for the past 3 weeks. No offence to anyone is intended, I am trying to teach him the facts - if he posts lies on skoda uploads, i will post facts on alfa/lanci ones.
I was warned before hand by several people that alfas are notorious for their electrical faults but chose not to pay attention, within a matter of 2-3 months everything started going wrong! first one of the brake lights went out-fixed that but then the parking registration light stopped working-fixed that but THEN the lights inside the car boot failed! having them the cam-belt went!its just been problem after problem!
I am not trying to hate or something...But,am I the only one that was actually a bit disappointed with the Alfa Romeo Giulietta...I excepted it to be a bit more special,a bit more beautiful (159 is much more beautiful)...I like Alfa Romeo but Giulietta was a legend of a car i expected this car to be much more different than other cars in this class....So,am I the only one that is a bit disappointed??????
@leon6266 this is an old story (and onestly a real one...) but now Alfs Romeo just like FIAT and Lancia is in the same european reliability standards just like german or french cars. If you have reliability problems this could happen on the Alfa as in any other car. But if you buy an Alfa year 2000 you are on the wrong year. FIAT group approach to reliability has changed a lot since 2004-2006 so get a 2006 model maximum.
yess i have a 73 alfa romeo and in 2009 in canada(where i live) they were suposed to make some dealerships but they never did i cant wait till they do
I've got the 147 and onestly I'm not going to sell it to get the giulietta. They have designed this car for a bigger market than Italy and secondly for Europe as any Alfa Romeo in the past. They are probably thinking already to the US market as well. With the 147 it was love at first sight... This one instead, well... it taste like a "world car", a very good one but still a world car. Its just like a good wine probably mixed with too much water.
@TheMarlboro550 Firstly, the Guilietta is definately the best looking car in its own segment (Focus, Golf, Megane..yawn). Second, the Aston Martin DBS is not beautiful IMO. It's got an awful nose and rather bland shape in general. In fact ,the Ferrari California and 458 italia are both beauty defined. So like i said before, you have very poor taste...
I have to disagree, the volkswagen scirocco is the best looking car in its class.
And if you prefer an obnoxious ferrari over a DBS (which i have had the pleasure of testdriving last month) you clearly have no taste or style at all. I bet you prefer beer over a good bottle of wine too?
It's like saying you prefer to mary a pornstar over a classy, smart 10/10 woman.
The DBS is the epitome of style,elegance and sophistication, the ferrari a lab rat on steroids.
@TheMarlboro550 LOL your such a joke...The Scirocco has nothing on the stylish Guilietta (which btw is in a totally different class). Plus I'd say its the most butt ugly car VW have ever made - and most are bland. You must be some deluded anti-italian douchebag to call Ferrari's obnoxious. Astons are made for girls and wimps...At the end of the day, to most [normal] people's eyes the Italians do it best when it comes to style. It's a fact, so get over it and quit being jealous!
@u1430 Stylish guilietta? It has got the same back lines and everything of the new opel astra..can't even see the difference. I'm not saying its ugly, just not original.
The front however, IS ugly..
And the guiliette will probably come out as a 2 door coupe in a year or 2, so yes i WOULD say you can compare it with a scirocco. Calling a scirocco butt ugly is nonsense.. pull up in a white scirocco with the R design package and ask 10 girls what they think about it...enough said.
@TheMarlboro550 The Guilietta is 100% original in every aspect. Italians don't copy. (n.b. Alfa rear door handle design copied by Honda on Civic). And btw, your initial post described the car as UGLY, so maybe you are on something afterall!
Anyway, I stand by my original view. White, black, or whatever, the Scirocco looks PIG UGLY. No colour in the world could make that car look better than a Guilietta. The font is just traditional VW bland and the rear? well it couldn't get anymore bloated...
@DanyBuckley Excuse me? I clearly said Alfa invented the door handle design and it was copied by Honda. You obviously can't read. Back to English class you idiot!
@u1430 You seem to defend this car quite aggressively by the looks of it. The Scirocco is by no means whatsoever ''PIG UGLY'' but the Alfa does look more classy. Both cars are probably the two most attractive on the road atm and the Scirocco is definately a head-turner because some people have walked into lamp posts as I've driven by beacuse they were too busy staring at it
@u1430 btw which engine do you have on yours because I've heard really good things about the 1.4 multiair and just wondered if it really is capable of returning 50mpg like they say it can
@TheMarlboro550 ; The Scirocco was penned by Alfa designer Walter de Silva who was italian born and trained in Turin polytecnic like most great italian designers, the new Golf is his work along with a string of Seats...the original golf was penned by italian Giorgetto Giugaro so your fav VW'S are italian designs...
You know, I'd be more likely to not buy it if it DIDN'T have a floor designed in it. A flaw, on the other hand... However I am sure that somone of your incredibly important stature would have a great influence on an enormous number of people with this extraordinarily well thought out and written warning. Well done.
why are the rear lights flashing in accending order as well as the LED's in the front of the car they flicker, is that normal for all models of the giulietta????
100th comment, centrinary year for alfa and what a car will be looking at either this or an audi A1 but so far have stuck to audi dealerships maybe i should visit an alfa garage aswell, dont think this has posted my earlier comment, flipping youtube to put it politely
No question it's a great and modern car, but it just does not look as good as the 147, which looks amazing. I will upgrade my 147 to a 159 soon, i just don't like the front design of the Mito or Giulietta.
@CheeseWithWorms Yes. the interior doesnt really feel that good. The material quality could be much better , and fit and finish is nowhere near Golf 6 or Audi A3. It might rattle a lot after some time.
@numbtesticle Because we are sick and tired of having the same old cars, Japanese, American, and German. We don't have any Italian cars. I so wish that we could get the Fiat 500 Abarth over here as well. I wish I could be the first person to get the Giulietta! Also, my family is Italian so I am in favor of Italian cars, naturally.
@phaethon42 Needs to be brought to the U.S. as a 4-door AND with very good gas mileage. Chrysler could get some respect back if they did. Otherwise, I won't be holding my breath.
@JCY006 this car is italian like me and remaining in europe is not for US....manual trasmission is true alfa not automatic... but in us how do you drive an automatic transmission? is a shit automatic transmission
@robseven7 that is just the camera, most camera's due to their frame rates sometimes don't capture the light properly, and it gives the perception of flashing.
dont u think its a myth tha italian cars are not reliable?we had an 156 for 7 years and didnt have a problem!!now a brera 3.2 still not a problem!!and most of people dont know about cars they have a golf or polo and just talk..
I don't think the Giulietta looks too good in white. Must be a very colour sensitive design. I much prefer that 8c red and black. Though even in white it is still beautiful and easily the best looking car in its class.

@u1430 There is no such thing as a beautiful car in this price range.
Only good looking cars.
A good looking car would be the Alfa Romeo Brera/spider.
A beautiful car would be the Aston Martin dbs, but that is a different league.
The Giulietta is not good looking in my opinion, let alone beautiful.
TheMarlboro550 1 year ago
@TheMarlboro550 Firstly, the Guilietta is definately the best looking car in its own segment (Focus, Golf, Megane..yawn). Second, the Aston Martin DBS is not beautiful IMO. It's got an awful nose and rather bland shape in general. In fact ,the Ferrari California and 458 italia are both beauty defined. So like i said before, you have very poor taste...

@u1430
I have to disagree, the volkswagen scirocco is the best looking car in its class.
And if you prefer an obnoxious ferrari over a DBS (which i have had the pleasure of testdriving last month) you clearly have no taste or style at all. I bet you prefer beer over a good bottle of wine too?
It's like saying you prefer to mary a pornstar over a classy, smart 10/10 woman.
The DBS is the epitome of style,elegance and sophistication, the ferrari a lab rat on steroids.
TheMarlboro550 1 year ago
@TheMarlboro550 LOL your such a joke...The Scirocco has nothing on the stylish Guilietta (which btw is in a totally different class). Plus I'd say its the most butt ugly car VW have ever made - and most are bland. You must be some deluded anti-italian douchebag to call Ferrari's obnoxious. Astons are made for girls and wimps...At the end of the day, to most [normal] people's eyes the Italians do it best when it comes to style. It's a fact, so get over it and quit being jealous!

@u1430 Stylish guilietta? It has got the same back lines and everything of the new opel astra..can't even see the difference. I'm not saying its ugly, just not original.
The front however, IS ugly..
And the guiliette will probably come out as a 2 door coupe in a year or 2, so yes i WOULD say you can compare it with a scirocco. Calling a scirocco butt ugly is nonsense.. pull up in a white scirocco with the R design package and ask 10 girls what they think about it...enough said.
TheMarlboro550 1 year ago
@TheMarlboro550 The Guilietta is 100% original in every aspect. Italians don't copy. (n.b. Alfa rear door handle design copied by Honda on Civic). And btw, your initial post described the car as UGLY, so maybe you are on something afterall!
Anyway, I stand by my original view. White, black, or whatever, the Scirocco looks PIG UGLY. No colour in the world could make that car look better than a Guilietta. The font is just traditional VW bland and the rear? well it couldn't get anymore bloated...
u1430 1 year ago 32
@u1430 Wrong! The first car that has adopted the integrated handle in the door, was the Alfa Romeo 147. Informed before writing nonsense!

@DanyBuckley Excuse me? I clearly said Alfa invented the door handle design and it was copied by Honda. You obviously can't read. Back to English class you idiot!
u1430 9 months ago
@u1430 You seem to defend this car quite aggressively by the looks of it. The Scirocco is by no means whatsoever ''PIG UGLY'' but the Alfa does look more classy. Both cars are probably the two most attractive on the road atm and the Scirocco is definately a head-turner because some people have walked into lamp posts as I've driven by beacuse they were too busy staring at it

@u1430 btw which engine do you have on yours because I've heard really good things about the 1.4 multiair and just wondered if it really is capable of returning 50mpg like they say it can
aspiringdrummer17 7 months ago
@TheMarlboro550 ; The Scirocco was penned by Alfa designer Walter de Silva who was italian born and trained in Turin polytecnic like most great italian designers, the new Golf is his work along with a string of Seats...the original golf was penned by italian Giorgetto Giugaro so your fav VW'S are italian designs...
just google and see, ciao.

You know, I'd be more likely to not buy it if it DIDN'T have a floor designed in it. A flaw, on the other hand... However I am sure that somone of your incredibly important stature would have a great influence on an enormous number of people with this extraordinarily well thought out and written warning. Well done.

Just read autocar magazine, saw a clone of the new Alfa with a merc badge on it.
Its being planned for release in the next year, its white an side profile is absolutely

No question it's a great and modern car, but it just does not look as good as the 147, which looks amazing. I will upgrade my 147 to a 159 soon, i just don't like the front design of the Mito or Giulietta.

@numbtesticle Because we are sick and tired of having the same old cars, Japanese, American, and German. We don't have any Italian cars.

I don't think the Giulietta looks too good in white. Must be a very colour sensitive design. I much prefer that 8c red and black. Though even in white it is still beautiful and easily the best looking car in its class.
