Alfa Romeo Giulietta Lusso 1.6 JTDM-2

[sutoka]

Since there's been a few top spec Giulietta I thought I'd introduce my humble Lusso spec 1.6 JTDM-2 which regularly gets 45mpg even in Dynamic mode. They are great cars having owned this one for the last 4 years or so and I've had few Alfas before that. Never had any real issues my only gripe is as a tallie 6'2 and a half on a good day there is zero leg room behind the drivers seat so being a rear passenger isn't great and on long drives there is no foot rest despite the car having cruise control.


Mine being a 14 plate Lusso in Etna black it would have originally had 16' wheels. I've done a few mods since I've had it, facelift grill, fogs, front and rear camera, Bilstein suspension all round , Powerflex bushes all round etc and 7.5T 18' .Horseshoe wheels on decent Kuhmo tyres . It's previously had a Celtic tuning remap so gets a massive 150 bhp which is 45bhp over the standard.Then a few months back I saw a high mileage 2018 Veloce being broken so snapped up the full leather seats which was an easy swap.

Currently on 106k miles and just had a service and 4yr/80k Gates timing belt and water pump done last year. Currently running an Amazon Echo Auto from a power bank in the glove box. So next plans would be to retrofit the UConnect as it came with blue and me SatNav or fit an decent aftermarket system.

Looks really good!
How much leg room is in the back? I like these, but my son is 6'2" so I'm worried he won't fit.
If you put the rear seats down could you fit a bike in the boot?

I’ve got quite long legs and find with the seat right back I’ve no issues. Legs room behind me is about 6 inches.
You’ll definitely get a bicycle in the back with the seats down

Thanks. Hope yours serves you well

It was a go in one of those that convinced me to buy my 170 Giulietta.

Passed it's MOT with no advisories, not bad for a 10 year old Alfa Romeo.

I ran a Giulietta 1.6 JTDM Sportiva for 5 years from 2014-19. I did 90000 miles it, was a great car.
