Alfa Romeo Giulietta

[Grimspoon]

And I dont think its a Giulietta...Remember, the Alfa boom is due to the Giulietta. Thats why sales have tripled. Last year Alfa sold like 25 cars countrywide a month. Since January they have been selling over 70. Probably mostly Mitos and Giuliettas so parts will be on hand

Yeah I read they sold only 350 cars the whole year :wtf:

The article said exactly what I was thinking, how the fek do all the dealerships survive??

I ordered mine this week. I am getting it next week! I can't wait! I am also going for the 1.4 Distinctive - but with Leather, Cruise Control, Aluminum Kick plates and the Tom Tom nav...

Roll on Monday!

Fantastic! What colour did you get and through which dealership?

Like I said earlier, leather is a must. It completely transforms the interior.

Also, what mags are coming with it?

Eish, just came back from showing the wife the car, she liked it but I dunno why but for me it was a bit of an anti climax :wtf:

Kinda looked at the progression they had on the floor and wasn't blown away at all.

I don't think I will be happy with the base model. The seats are crap, you were right Random. Really kak. Also I never saw the wheels that it comes standard with until today. *puke*

Can you not add the leather + rims to the base model?

You can for about R20K

 

[IzZzy]

/flicks devil off his shoulder

Going to spend the weekend thinking.

Damn...I told you the leather is amazing. Once you experience it you wont want anything else...Have a good think about it. The base Progression mags are the 16" 5 spoke right? They arent that bad to be honest...maybe a little small. Im thinking of getting the super sport alloys...17". Dont want to go up to 18". A tyre just gets too expensive...

Ya, after sitting in yours, the cloth just made me a sad panda

The wheels aren't to bad, but they just dont seem to 'fit' in well.

Getting it in Alfa Red with the stock wheels. Didn't want to add R6K for something I don't see when I am driving. If they really display THAT bad I will go for a 17"/18" Wheel and Tyre combo at a later stage.

A tyre just gets too expensive...

AFAIK 16"s tyres and more expensive than 17"s? By dumping the standard 16" tyre and getting 17"s, you will be saving in the long run with cheaper tyres.

I don't know that this is necessarily still universally true. Besides, you're talking a couple of hundreds' saving per set of tyres... Unless you drive like a moron 24/7 you'll replace tyres, what, two or three times before the Alfa [-]breaks down for the last time[/-] is sold or traded in.

I meant 18"'s The tyre prices for a decent pair start getting retarded.

 

[Brawler]

I just did a bit of research and 16" seems to be quite a bit cheaper than 17" these days..

 

[IzZzy]

Oh okay, how much are 18"s?

 

[rodga]

18's can be had for about R1400 each ie Hankooks

and they dont only add to looks, but will be better for handling

 

[Slaught3r]

I am truly disappointed! The dealer can only get the car here on Saturday... Then they still have to PDI and install Netstar - only getting the car NEXT week!!!

 

[IzZzy]

When next week (with all the public holidays)?

 

[Slaught3r]

I am holding thumbs for Tuesday... The salesperson said that she will bend over backwards to get me my car by Tuesday - because she knows that I am Car-los at the mo. (Teeny weeny run in with a T-Junction!)
