Bye Bye Abarth 500 Essesse Hello Alfa Romeo Giulietta 1750tb

[Prolex-UK]

Sold the Abarth on Saturday and bought the 1750 tbi 2 hours later (had been to view the week earlier)

Nice white one 2010 model with 12k miles.

They are fitting a new cambelt and waterpump in the price as she is 4 years old in November

Hope to pick it up mid week :-)

Why the change? Practicality i assume.

Is the 1750tbi the cloverleaf model?

That's all that's coming up with google.

Good luck with the new one.

Ive read some horror stories on the Alfa boards with the turbo.

Well done for pissing on the OP's parade.

The bumpy ride did for me in the end.

If he's announced his new car on a forum, I'm guessing he already knows about them from being with the Alfa owners club forums.

If not tut tut for lack of research!

Did my research indeed.

Tinternet is wonderful on many ways but if we followed or believed everything that was written we wud never buy anything

Driven to dorset today from london was lovely did 37mpg at averagr speed of 46mph

Yes the SS ride is supposed to be bumpy. Did it have the stock suspension? I have the Koni on mine and i find the ride rather good, the damping is excellent.

I fitted vogtland coilovers which improved it a lot.

Short wheel base doesnt help though

Arrived back from maiden flight ... Impressed so far 37mpg both ways (London dorset and back)

The n setting is rubbish throttle response is so soft... The d setting is as it should be so will always have it set

Air con cud be colder so will get garage to look at that when cambelt done next week
