Giulietta lives up to its melodic name in looks and charisma. Like a beautiful woman, this Alfa wears its jewelry well, and the LED headlights and circular patterns in the wheels standout, adding just a flash of bling in all the right places in tasteful style. The curvy black sheetmetal, the famous Alfa badges, the lines and creases--it all presents in a fashion that brings the romanticism of the brand to life.
Inside is a touch tight, though many comparable cars have similar close quarters. The black seats with red stitching are comfortable, sharp and supportive. The dashboard is easy to read and understand, and it's nice to have real switches to turn off features such as the running lights and auto start/stop--which works flawlessly, by the way. I recorded at least seven instances of the system kicking in on my route home.
