Test Drive Alfa Romeo Giulietta: "Italian", which does not shout. Stylish thing - Alfa Romeo Giulietta And who without sin
Alfa Romeo Giulietta made his debut in 2010 at the Geneva Motor Show. She replaced an outdated model 147. The novelty attributed the names model 149, Milano, but in the end, they stopped on the name Giulietta. The car was drawn by the Italian designer Lorenzo Ramachiotti, whose account such prestigious projects like Ferrari Enzo, Ferrari F430 and Maserati Quattroporte. When creating juliet, the C-EVO platform is used.
In 2013, the Italian CD has undergone restyling. First of all, the interface of the management system of onboard devices has changed. In addition, neatly the radiator grille was careful, and fog lights Received chrome edging. Assortment appeared new wheel disks And the shades of the body. The changes also affected the steering wheel, seats and several other interior elements.
Engines
Petrol:
R4 1.4 TB (105-120 hp);
R4 1.4 TB Multiair (170 hp);
R4 1.75 TBI (235 hp).
Diesel:
R4 1.6 JTDM (105 hp);
R4 2.0 JTDM (140-170 hp).
Alpha Romeo Juliet has a very interesting set power aggregates. It doesn't matter if you are going to just ride around the city and at the same time not to spend money on fuel, or put the gas pedal to the floor with a silent serpentine. Everyone can find yourself suitable motor. As for the dynamics, the most smooth and economical is the basic diesel engine return 105 hp, which accelerates italian car up to 100 km / h in 11.3 seconds. The remaining motors provide good and very good dynamics. The top 235-strong version accelerates to hundreds in 6.8 seconds.
Unfortunately, not all power units are worthy of recommendations. Most of the problems in operation delivers a 1.4-liter TB Multiair motor. His weakness - hydraulic valve drive without the help of traditional distribution Vala.. Due to malfunction hydraulic drive There was a shift of the phases of gas distribution, and as a result, the power fell, and "Troy" appeared. Many cars were "cured" under warranty. However, there are cases when Multiair ran over 350,000 km without any protests. It must be remembered that the Multiair activator has its own oil filterwhich must be cleaned regularly.
In 1.75 TBI, there are failures in the operation of nozzles and premature wear of the pump.
FROM positive it is worth noting diesel motors. The only problem is quickly clogging dairy filter. First of all, it applies to cars operated in the city.
Constructive features
Regardless of the modification of the juliet, it has a drive only on the front wheels. The torque is transmitted through a 6-speed mechanical transmission or a 6-speed automated with double adhesion of the TST. The front suspension received the MacPherson racks, and the independent rear is the system of aluminum transverse levers. In the crash tests, Euroncap was achieved excellent result - 5 stars.
Typical problems and malfunctions
Compared to the predecessor Alfa Romeo 147, Juliet breaks much less often, but still not ideal. In copies of C. mechanical box Mix the thrust, because of which it becomes impossible to switch the speeds. Moisture falls through cracks in the shell. In case of such a failure will have to cause a tow truck.
Robotic TST box installed in a pair of 1.4 170 hp and 2.0 Multijet 170 hp Switching occurs instantly. At the moment, serious problems with the robot are not fixed.
Another common drawback is the knock of the steering rack. The trouble may appear after several tens of thousands of kilometers. The Giulietta owners also complain about the problems with the steering amplifier. In the first copies, levers quickly knocked out. Fortunately, later the manufacturer engaged in a problem. Despite this, it is better to carefully inspect the suspension before buying.
When inspection, you should also pay attention to the oil leakage from the engine. When detecting, it will be necessary to replace the oscilves of distribution or crankshaft. If you do not do this enough quickly for the second element, then leaks can lead to an oil on the clutch. Then repairs can be very high.
What else can spoil? Unfortunately a lot. However, in most cases it is the little things. For example, with brake calipers, paint is quite quickly quickly. Or because of ceases to close the lid of the gas tank trough due to damage to the plastic latch. And after 3-4 years of operation leather upholstery door panels. Pretty indecent, given the young age of the car, which is also striving for a premium class. In the cabin can be checked plastic, and the suspension creap in the frost. Sometimes the system fails loud communication Blue & Me and Audio System (not included).
Sometimes refuses climatic installation. As a rule, it's all about the burnt air conditioner fan engine. From time to time, the LEDs in the rear lights are hung or refuses the rear wiper. The reason is damage to harnesses and contacts. After the protracted showers, water may appear in the direction of rotation, stop signals and trunk. No reliability and heating side mirrors.
Conclusion
Even in relatively young Alfa Romeo Giuletta there are serious shortcomings. Given the experience of the operation of the predecessors, it is surprised to be surprised. However, it is necessary to emphasize that, compared with the 147th, obvious progress is noticeable, not only technical, but also qualitative.
To avoid trouble, one should choose among versions with the least problematic engines. The car must be carefully check in good service. Most preferred specimens purchased in Russian salons. Selection of imported copies is a more risky step. When you buy Giuliette, then for excellent dynamics, great challenges, the pleasant sound of the motor (especially in powerful versions) and the bright style can forgive her all the minor flaws.

By purchasing itself dear version Standing about 1,100,000 rubles, you will get everything listed above. The cost may be even higher if you want the engine more powerful.
The car in Russia is sold poorly due to weak marketing. The manufacturer does not try to propiar. The company's reputation was also played. The reliability of cars, to put it mildly, not very, especially after our roads.
You can consider this option as a purchase, but it is worth thinking well. Remember the reliability. The car is not bad for design, although this is a matter of taste. Characteristics are better than some competitors. The model is not for riders, so young people most likely not like it. We believe that Alfa Romeo Giulietta a good option for girl.

Alfadiziac
Still, amazing people work in Alpha Romeo! Even the usual family hatchback they are able to create such that he will attract the views of those surrounding again and again. Massive radiator grille shield, disguised handles of the rear doors, the excitement and wavy LEDs of the rear lights - it would seem anything special. But with such simple means, the Italians managed to play "Juliet" outfit so attractive so attractive that among classmates she looks like a white swan surrounded by nasty ducklings.
You will say that beauty is a concept subjective, and will definitely be right. Yes, all these new A-Classes and A-Third, "Tricks" and "Golfs" - Machines are very pretty. However, I admit honestly, such a number of interested views on the part of the fair sex representatives I did not catch any of these cars. It is a pity, an old man Freud did not live, and then probably made the favorite attraction for experiments on patients from "Juliet". At least, my inner child has been podaching me to ride another time along the Baltic shore on the fashionable institutions of the Northern Riviera - Praise Bomond admires. "Juliet" possesses some strange spells, which makes itching blood and adds the master of magnetism more than a kind of supercar.
And who without sin?
At first glance, and inside the "Juliet" promises a lot of charms. What is only the elastic horseshoe-shaped brackets on the center console, attendant bevel well wells in the silver frame and aluminum climate control crackles, which are shaking on the following division with such a delightful and clear click! But there are questions. That's what, please tell me, here makes a spacing glove box cover, stealless switches made of cheap plastic and ceiling lamp filter from Fiat Bravo? For a brand that presents itself as a terry premium, such a quotation charts from a much more budget colleague on the concern are not allowed. Yes, and the oldskal monochrome screen of the on-board computer with red-orange illumination has long been inconsidery.
The driver's seat deserves its claims. Despite the impressive lateral support for the back and thighs, it will not be possible to feel like a quenching Schumacher - the seat cushion adjustment is present, but it will not be low enough to lower it. Here and stick to the wheel of a hard carnation. It would be fine, but the way is more visible. But if the "Juliet" visibility is excellent, then back - alas. Purchase feeding torment! Thank God, in my "Juliet" a parking assistant was present, but in order to be installed, it is necessary to pay as much as 19,718 rubles. And this is the usual parking sensor without everyone there came the chambers of the rear view!
Even in the lower position, the landing on the driver's seat is quite high.
But Bluetuza in the cabin was not at all revealed - and this is despite the fact that there is no single shelf in Alpha, where it would be normal to attach a smartphone. And how do you order talk? No here and the USB port - I had to shake the dust from the ancient folder with CDs not to miss the road. Damn, yes, for a million with a decent tail, all this should be attended by default!
Well, demand from the beauty of iron logic and boring practicality is an empty lesson. Although to call "Italian" is completely inflated by our own language will not turn. There is enough space in the cabin. Seese "for yourself" with the growth of 180 cm I managed without problems. Two adult men will feel at the "gallery" quite freely, although it's a threesome here - a clear bust. Yes, and suitcases for sure thank you say that you did not pacify them, say, in the same "focus", where the trunk liters is 70 less. By the way, in the hold there is a pair of useful niches for the content of the smallest things, the hook for packages from the supermarket and additional electric socket. So "Juliet" is quite a fair hostess. And temperamental to the same.
Alfa has one of the best preselective robots: TST transmission switches quickly, imperceptibly and at the right time
Heart beauties
None of the model in the entire history of Alfa-Romeo would not have become a real "Alpha", do not be the most advanced force aggregate for its time. And "Juliet" is no exception. Its 1.4-liter Multameir with a capacity of 170 forces is a real work of art. The peculiarity of this engine in a unique electronic valve control system that allows to deliver the optimal amount of air-gasoline mixture to cylinders. Together with the correct turbine and the camshaft of a special form, this has led not only to the growth of dynamic indicators, but also to a fair decrease in fuel consumption. No wonder a couple of years ago, "Multayer" received the title "Motor of the Year"!
This bunch of energy under the hood telesfully breaks the "Juliet" from the start, injected into the brain of the driver a fair share of endorphins. The motor is not only quickly spinning, it also has an excellent moment on tops and an average revolution range, which turns a small family car to hot hatch. The speed-in-step "robot" with double dry clutch works on gambling ride. "Smart" box is not in a hurry to reset the turnover if it feels that the owner is in the mood to play. It is helpfully selecting the transfer down, constantly staying in the zone of maximum torque.
Giulietta was created on the C-EVO platform, which was based on Fiat Bravo, but Alfa's running quality is much better than that of the Turin machine
Under this tandem and suspension: "Juliet" writes trajectories with minimal rolls, while elastically swallowing asphalt irregularities of almost any caliber. Such an ideal balance of chassis in Golf-class, perhaps there is no one. Bravo!
True, it is worth notify that all the "alpha" are now equipped with a chit-free DNA system, regulating the stiffness of the suspension, engine power, gas pedal response rate, fuel consumption and steering settings. So such as the aspectness of "Italian" can boast exclusively in the "Speaker" mode. "Normal" will select 30 N.m of torque and weaken the sensitivity of the accelerator pedal. For me, this is the optimal settings - reserves for urban maneuvers and even overtaking on the track are quite enough, but not so sharp reactions to the steering wheel will allow a little relax. In the "All-weather" mode, "Juliet" and goes on tiptoe at all, it is simply meaningless - the electronic collar is just meaningless - the electronic collar will strangle all attempts to unwind the motor in the struggle for safe driving in the rain or snow. Yes, and gasoline saves. Although ride on Alfa so as to save fuel - absurd!
The situation in the back of the cabin is very simple: the sofa is still deprived of the armrest, although he is simply obliged to be in the car for which such money is asked
Position in society
The issue of the price for Alpha Romeo has always been and remains fundamental. It would seem that the entrance price tag in 899,000 rubles makes the "Juliet" quite competitive among compact premium-hatchbacks. But for the amount you will get a rather dull car with a 120-strong engine "on hand" - and even without "music". The top version of the "exclusive" will be optimal, which will cost 1,195,000 rubles. But even in this case, to match today subsistence minimum Premium class, it will want to add something. Let's say not excessive navigation (86 721 rubles), xenon headlights (45 644 rub.), Leather interior (68 466 rub.) And electric drive seats (46 100 rubles). And here the price of Alpha is already approaching one and a half million. It is more expensive even more prestigious Stuttgart C-class and Bavarian "Treshka". In general, there is something to think about. True, Alpha Romeo lovers, as you know, choose a heart. But love is more expensive than money, isn't it?
In the trunk there is a power plate, hook for bags, luggage fixation loops and a pair of niche for small things
There is no third
Buyers "Juliet" will have to choose from two variants of power units: 120 liters engine. from. In a pair with 6-speed "mechanics" or a 170-strong and 6-speed "robot" TST. There is no third. Our Russians are not available for any beautiful diesel engines, so favorite Europeans for their economy, nor the most incered version of the "quad-folio" with a turbo capacity of 235 liters. from. Alas and ah!
The strategy for the development of the brand in Russia is unclear. Chrysler Rus is appointed official importer, but there is no clear information about the start of deliveries to Russia. They promise the emergence of five dealer centers in different cities, but while "Juliet" officially can be acquired only in Alpha Crentro, which are located in St. Petersburg.
Nice blood
The first "Juliet" with the prefix "Sprint" was born in 1954 in the Ipostasi coupe, which created the famous designer Giuseppe "Nuccho" Burton. Released the car for eight years - until 1962. However, after the production was stopped, the model was returned to the conveyor for another year - so great was the demand for this beauty. The next two generations "Juliet" produced a sedan in the body until 1985. And the current is already the fourth - the incarnation as a 5-door hatchback appeared in 2010.
