The Return of the Alfa Nut

Yes, the Alfa Romeo car nut finally returns with a much needed update video on the state of his life, garage and future! Take a look and see what has been happening on "Alfa Street" recently. Italian cars, classics old and new and even a Ducati?

Dear Chris hope you well? Any chance I can ask your opinion regarding what would be most reliable Alfa ? I'm thinking of buying second hand giulietta 2013-2016 and honestly I just don't have much money for regular repairs? Apreciate any advice would giulietta be a good choice and which trim and engine? Exclusive/ sportiva / jtdm? Or maybe stick with brands that seems more reliable like ford / BMW ?

[@TheAlfaNut]

Hi Mariusz, I have a 2018 2.0 JTDM Giulietta, which my Wife uses as her daily car. The engine is excellent and very economical. It is a “Super” trim, so quite basic but still looks good and has 150bhp! Newer Alfas are just as reliable as Fords or BMW, do not worry! 🙂👍🏻

[@NAKMUAYACADEMY]

@@TheAlfaNut that's amazing! Would you advise any particular year from those range 2013-2016? Or as long as low millage all should be good?

[@TheAlfaNut]

I would suggest you buy the latest car you can, with the best service history, (make sure it has been looked after and serviced every year. Try to find a car with a recent cam belt change, as this costs quite a lot and is needed every 5 years in average.) I wish you good luck! 🍀🙂👍🏻

[@NAKMUAYACADEMY]

@@TheAlfaNut thank you so so much really appreciate,I found 2 models one older 2013 low mileage and one younger 2016 bigger mileage both seems good quality,so I reckon from your recommendation info with the more mileage but younger car
