Our quick take

Alfa Romeo Giulietta 1.4 TB MultiAir 170 Sportiva - 3.5 / 5

The Sportiva version of the Alfa Giulietta brings you all the aesthetics of the Cloverleaf model without the associated running costs of the bigger engine. The MultiAir engine is still a star though and offers all the performance most will want, but the driving position, refinement and ride comfort and standard technology let the side down
