Buying Tips for the 2011–2013 Alfa Romeo Giulietta (pre-facelift)

  • ✓On 1.4 MultiAir petrols, insist on annual oil changes with the correct spec; vague servicing is a red flag.
  • ✓Check Blue&Me, USB, steering-wheel controls and rear electrical functions together, because early cars often have more than one minor electrical fault.
  • ✓Test TCT cars from cold and fully warm, including reverse and low-speed creeping, to catch clutch shudder or poor calibration.
  • ✓Very early 2010-2011 cars deserve an especially careful check for cabin trim wear, sticky switches and patchy dealer history.
