NA. We expect the 2024 Giulia to be less reliable than other new cars. This prediction is based on the Alfa Romeo brand history. The 2021 Alfa Romeo Giulia has been recalled 2 Brera 2.2 JTS help required. New here and to Alfa Romeo! I am looking to buy a 2.2JTS Brera and asked the seller for a video of start up and tick over before long drive to view vehicle. I am just a bit concerned that the engine sounds more like a diesel than a petrol. 4809 posts · Joined 2009. #42 · Jan 9, 2017. Yes, it's a G.M. engine, "BADLY REWORKED BY ALFA." However, the only cars that have any connection with the "Alfa Romeo Proper" are the 916 GTV's and Spiders, the 3.2 GT. and the 147/156 GTA's. 147 and 156 twinnies are loosely connected to the early twin sparks - they pulled the heads out of their It all began in 2002 when the Brera was unveiled as a concept car at the Geneva Motor Show as Giugiaro's design. The concept car was powered by a 395 hp Maserati-V8 engine. The car was applauded and loved by the audiences, and subsequently, Alfa Romeo announced their plans to produce the car for 2005.

As for the fuel consumption, when I bought my Brera 3.2 Q4m I was literally shocked : 20-21l/100km in town, 14-15l/100km countryroad (winter, 1-2 deg.C on average). Fuel quality does little difference also. Audi has 245 bhp and will 0-62 in 5.8, whereas the alfa has 260 bhp, and does 0-62 in 6.5. That's very disappointing. And the audi a5 is a great tourer for long journeys. The brera really is a beautiful thing, but the 3.2 ruins it imo. The jtdm 2.4 with a bit of light tuning would keep up with the 3.2. Designed by Giugiaro, the Alfa Romeo Brera was one of the most successful concepts on display at the 2002 Geneva Motor Show and, for the first time after a long time, Fiat Group decided to give this prototype a production future. The Brera was recently awarded the “Most Beautiful Car of the World” prize, and we, in partnership with the Alfa Romeo knew damn well that it had to sharpen up its act with the Brera. Having wowed potential customers with the ItalDesign show car in 2003, the company bowed to public pressure and put it uxky.
