The Giulietta put Alfa back into the compact-car fight with a car that still dared to have style and some chassis character. It can be a good used buy, but only if you do not confuse a flattering shape with real maintenance discipline.
The `1.4` and `1.4 MultiAir`, the `1.750 TB` and the `1.6` and `2.0 JTDM` diesels each have different logic. `MultiAir` engines need very clean oil habits, diesels need honest road use and intake care, and the `TCT` gearbox needs software, usage and transmission condition checked carefully.
