他们说你不是一个真正的岁直到你自己的一个阿尔法罗密欧,我想现在我明白。自从阿尔法罗密欧会开车闯入我的生活,我不禁爱上她越来越多的每一天。我们开车到全面审议之前,值得一提的是,我们的阿尔法是可选的会自动快速的包。从你把你的眼睛放在会不禁爱上她的全面风格线条,她迷人的设计,标志性的阿尔法罗密欧合金车轮和红色制动卡钳。这辆车的设计就像一坛好酒,优雅和智慧令人满意。我的意思是它有能力满足你在享乐主义和知识水平。甚至在六个月后我仍然痴迷于它的迷人的设计和极好的样子。涡轮增压四缸发动机运动,然而精制和它有一个愉快的汩汩声当你开车。它产生147千瓦(197马力)和330 Nm的扭矩和其他经典的阿尔法引擎一样,有很多中档扭矩。电力尾巴远离5000 rpm,让你改变取消之前,当你达到排除,发动机转速限制器。 Transmission is smooth and it’s always in the right gear, supplying the right amount of torque to the rear wheels. The brilliant integration of the engine and transmission makes the Giulia easy and convenient to drive around the city and exhilarating on winding coastal roads. I’m afraid though, that the Giulia might have a drinking problem since I found myself having to fill her up more than I was expecting to. After a few days of city driving the fuel consumption sat at 10L/100km. During road trips it still does 8.5L/100km which is alright but I wonder whether the consumption is this high in her German rivals like the C200 and 320i. I have heard from a few other Giulia owners that they find the ride quality in the Giulia to be a little bit hard and I disagree with them. The best way to determine the comfort level of a car in Sydney is to drive it on the World’s Worst Road, Parramatta Road which is filled with cracked asphalt and unavoidable potholes, and I have to say that the suspension works very hard to absorb the impact and to keep its occupants at ease. Even in Dynamic mode when the suspension firms up, I’ve driven on Parramatta Road and I’ve found it to be comfortable. The steering in the Giulia is very direct and light and it still manages to provide a decent level of feedback. In Dynamic mode the steering does become heavier and more communicative, which I like but it’s not reasonable to drive the car in Dynamic mode to get a carrot from the grocery store. An issue that the Giulia has, is that during low-speed manoeuvring, the front tyres scrub and skip about when trying to make tighter turning like reversing out of a drive way. Inside the cabin is stylish and is built to a good standard. It is also ergonomic and driver focused. I quite like the way that the display screen has been integrated so well in the dashboard. In most cars the display screen sits on top of the dashboard and it blocks the view out the windshield and it looks a bit like lazy designing, like someone just said “here, stick this tablet on the front and we’ll call it a day.” Giulia’s functions are all easy to learn and to operate and everything is where it should be. Two downsides that the interior has, are its seats and the air conditioning. The seats aren’t very comfortable. For me the shape of the seats encourages bad sitting position no matter how I adjust it, so when I take the Alfa for longer trips I end up with mild back and shoulder pains for the rest of the day. The other major issue; the air-conditioning. It simply is not good enough. On hot days having the air-con on maximum does not cool you down and it just doesn’t cut it for summer. It’s like getting coughed on by ants. There are two noticeable points about the Giulia as well. Point one is how close the brake and gas pedal seem the first time that you drive the Giulia! There were a few times that I caught myself looking down at my feet double checking that “yes indeed, I am pressing the brake pedal and not gas” multiple times in traffic. Point two is the start/stop is not as responsive in the Giulia compared to some other cars that I’ve driven. I mean it’s a very annoying feature and I always turn it off, but the Giulia shuts off the engine maybe about 3.5/5 scenarios. I don’t have any issues with it but it is a noticeable point. Despite all the downsides to the Giulia, I still love her and would get it over the C200 and 320i. It’s just, it appeals more to the heart than the brain.
