Character

1.75 TBi

"Giulietta QV/Veloce. Alfa's own turbo petrol. Variable geometry turbo. Direct injection. Carbon buildup. Turbo VGT actuator failure. Oil consumption. Characterful but needs specialist care."

2.2 JTDm

"Giulia/Stelvio diesel. All-aluminium. Modern diesel tech. DPF/SCR. Too new for complete long-term data but FCA diesels of this gen are improved. Service intervals expensive at Alfa dealers."
