Giulia is the mistress men wish their wife was. Any insight into super vs veloce. Is the 40k delta worth it? I suspect it’s not just a different Bin engine or just a detuned from 280 to 200 bhp Edited December 27, 2020 by Sdf4786k ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well he told me servicing was expensive and advised me to stick with beemers or mercedes. Maybe I will go do a test drive first. I have seen a couple of the road and find them gorgeous. Might let heart overrule brain. Did u end up with the Giulia? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect it’s not just a different Bin engine or just a detuned from 280 to 200 bhp Don’t think the nett difference is 40k, probably less than that. But with the facelift prices and current COE.. I dunno. if you’re serious about considering one, I can recommend someone to u. besides power, there’s mechanical LSD, bigger brembos, front seats that hug you more, 19” rims, adaptive suspension. the facelift has a nicer interior now, with better steering wheel, wrapped leather dash, touchscreen infotainment with additional info like Oil Pressure, Boost and Torque gauges, leather gear knob, wireless charging, more logical centre console layout, and Harmon/Kardon sound system that sounds good. plus a new palette of colours to choose from. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Water pump and coil packs , suspension consider wear and tear? are the definition very close to what Ford had once upon a time? I would think electric gremlins are not wear and tear as well as dashboard cracks? else 30 k parts changes are considered wear and tear .., Edited January 1, 2021 by Sdf4786k Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But reasonably speaking, suspension, brake pads, air filters, spark plug, wiper blades, tyres, aircon filters etc.. should be wear and tear and be replaced at separate cost from the free servicing. unless suspension creaks or leaks at 10k or 20k, which is way below its lifespan, then I’d argue for warranty replacement.

I believe that’s quite reasonable to expect.. So some AD who do warranty 5 years usually mentioned that from year 3 onwards are the engine and drive train. The rest is consider wear and tear.

Raj7398an 1st Gear August 7, 2021 Share August 7, 2021 I test drove the veloce couple of days ago and the drive is astonishingly good. I'm a little ok with Alfa since it's ZF gearbox, Bosch electronics and the carbon fibre shaft is from Hitachi since they have outsourced outside italy for parts. My only concern is fuel consumption will be high and also servicing cost higher compared to other German cars. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
