Used Alfa Romeo Giulietta 2010-present reliability review

A used Alfa Romeo Giulietta would be a stylish alternative to the class leaders, but it falls short in a number of key areas

What should I look for in a used Alfa Romeo Giulietta?

Rear visibility is a problem in the Giulietta – although higher-spec models offer a reversing camera – so do check the rear end for any dents or scuffs. Look at the front, too, since the car is likely to have been used in the cut and thrust of urban traffic and city-centre car parks. Check the alloy wheels for any kerb damage.

Is a used Alfa Romeo Giulietta reliable?

According to our most recent used car reliability survey, the answer is a surprising yes. In our 2023 study, the Giulietta finished in 8th place in the family cars category with a score of 92%. Alfa Romeo fared okay as a reliable used car brand, finishing in 12th out of 30 manufacturers, with an overall score of 82.7%.
