I would not recommend an Italian car to anyone who cannot tune a musical implement. They will not be sufficiently “dialled in” to optimise its performance or forestall any mishaps.

New WaterPump
New Engine mount
SPARE driver’s internal door latch handle
Spares all cheap @ right supplier
FB forums can recommend local tragic Alfa guys near you who sell new parts cheap and know what bits go
Petrol engines are very strong and reliable
Manual gearboxes great
The Giulietta is not just the trendsetting 5 door hatch copied by most manufacturers but brilliant cars AND still gorgeous/sexy 14 years after release. Females love them. Much more than my Mustangs.
The internal width is huuge
The **** is pure Sofia Loren
1.4 “MultiAit” (VVT) Turbo is a strong performer
Pulls hard at 110 in 6th overdrive.
QV 1750 is a rocket
