After 6 years and 50k miles, our 16 YO BMW 523i shopping runabout needed replacing. My wife who is the main driver wanted to downsize to a 5 door hatch, and following trouble free ownership of our Mito (albeit it hardly ever gets driven), she agreed to forgo the default choices of a BMW 1 series or Audi A3, in favour of an Alfa Giulietta 2.0 JTDM2!
So that brings the fleet more in balance with 2 Germans (Cayenne & Z4), 2 Italians (Giulietta & Mito) and 3 Brits (Aston, Bentley, GT40). Bit of poetic licence with the latter, that could be considered a Yank, but it is a British design.
Looked at a few reviews of the Giulietta, and it seems underrated and reliable…..time will tell!
