Giulia (Type 952) 2015 - Current

I fell in love with the Giulia Veloce TI as soon as I saw it in the showroom at Thames Alfa Romeo in Slough! I had previously owned a Stromboli Grey Giulia Veloce. In 2022, used car prices went through the roof so it was a good time to sell it plus I got £10,000 disount on the Veloce TI on the AROC Affinity Scheme which was amazing!

My Giulia is in Etna Red, arguably the best colour available, epecially with the full carbon pack. It looks as close to a QV as it can without actually being a QV. I think you get the best of both worlds - superb everyday performance with all the looks without breaking the bank (but, perhaps, damaging it a bit!).

This was my first brand new Alfa and, because I do so few miles, will be keeping it for some time.

I had PPF (paint protection film) fitted to the whole front end of the car and 'A-pillars' from day one to protect my investment. The car was also ceramic coated which is superb. No need to ever polish it and it beads up everytime, looking brand new after each wash!

It's had a few items replaced under warranty including the rear brake discs and pads as they were noisy and the carbon fibre mirror covers as they had started to delaminate. I am extremely fussy but felt these issues were unnacceptable on a £50k car! Other than that, Monza Sport have looked after the car's servicing requirements.

About as good as it gets following PPF and ceramic coating treatment after I bought the car!
