Jirrrrrrrrie...When last was I on this here forum??? 24 pages on the Alfa Romeo Giulietta ONLY? LMFAO.
As expected, I too have a GQV...mine is now at 30 000km after 5 months ownership and going strong, very strong...272BHP 430Nm strong to be exact
Lots of mods done to mine like suspension work, engine work, looks etc.
I recently went on a 2500km trip to Springbok in the Northern Cape...crap roads etc. After that trip my gearbox also started feeling klunky/notchy. I live far from the nearest dealer, +-180km far! With some research I found that putting the car in 2nd and then in 1st is the solution! Works wonders now...lol.
When I take it in next week for brake pads I'll have them check out this gearbox issue...other than that its all systems GO, no worries, the car flies, drives nicely and looks amazing.
Avg fuel consumption is about 8.0l/100km in town driving and it can go all the way down to 7.5l/100km at just under 120kph.
Its a really nice car, completely new everything, I would highly reccomend it to anyone looking for a hot Hatch(or sedate hatch as its not really THAT hot from factory but can kill most standard Hot Hatches) with 5 year service plan and 6 year warranty...
cheers
