Alfa Romeo Giulietta

摘要

Final report Alfa's five-door hatch may still have its flaws, but living with one for a year has been far easier and more rewarding than expected. Now my time with the Giulietta is up, I can confess to my ulterior motive in running it, After two years in tediously reliable German cruisers (BMW 730d and Mercedes CLS320 CDI), the prospect of running an Alfa Romeo for a year appealed more than little to a man who, at times, would have preferred to have more to say than "still hasn't gone wrong". The idea that an Alfa might perform faultlessly for an entire year, given what we planned to chuck at it, seemed some what fanciful. And if by some miracle it did get through 12 months without a significant failure, what a story that would be. We could conclude that for the first time in longer than any of us cares to remember, here was a fun Italian hatch we not only enjoyed driving but could actually recommend that people should buy. Either way, as a journalist, I couldn't lose.
