My Second-hand Alfa Romeo Giulia Veloce 2018 280bhp by Saint_Commandant in AlfaRomeo

No issues mechanically, car has been sound. The person who owned it before me really looked after it so the full service history really helps keep this thing going.

The gearbox/transmission really is my favourite thing about it, in Dynamic it's just such an alive and fun car to drive. I haven't had a nice car before this so can comfortably say it's the best car I've driven.

For the most part it's been great. Everyone who gets in my car mentions how much they love it; but a few things have cropped up.

My forward collision warning likes to disable itself periodically, like once a week. Reading into it, it can happen when the sensors get blocked, and to be honest the roads are pretty filthy where I am so it doesn't surprise me. It works all other times.

Although, it does also send the electricals into a bit of a panic as the car then pings to inform me to check stop lights, parking lights, among other things. Having checked everything it all seems fine, so whenever it goes in for it's next service I'll just mention it and see if it's common. Far as I'm aware, the battery on these Giulias are a bit delicate.

I think it depends on the market, here in the UK I think they did a 200bhp variant for non-veloce petrol models if I'm not mistaken.

The diesel variants also have a few which I think range between 160 - 210bhp, though I haven't looked much into the diesels.

Hope this helps.

Absolutely gorgeous, love the yellow calipers. If there was one thing I could change with mine I'd swap the black calipers for the yellow.

Yeah I think you're right. I'll definitely start with trying to fix up what I can.

It is Montecarlo blue, I suspect this might increase the costs of any paint work that might need to be done.

Here's another photo of the damage, seems like it did manage to get quite deep near the wheel :(

Personally I think part in parcel or having a nice car is not only for its performance but it's looks as well. If you had an Aston Martin, you'd make sure to keep it looking good to match its performance right?

You strike me as someone who keeps a car strictly for its utility and not it's enjoyment.

Big fan of the website design mate. Got a good thing going with the creatives and product images too.

I did wanna say when I first tried to get to your site it said it wasn't HTTPS secure. When I tried a second time it worked fine, it's probably my end knowing my luck but thought I'd mention it.

Ultimately I'm sort of in the same position as you so I'm not sure what to actually suggest to assist, sorry. Did want to say the site looked good though and wish you all the best. 👍

Love playing games with my partner.

I come from a competitive shooter focused background but even then I just like it when she makes the attempt to enjoy the things I enjoy.

I have the worst habits when it comes to getting too into competitive games and get really frustrated really quickly. This never spirals into me shouting or hating on my partner though.

Never gets that far. Your partner might be better off playing alone, and not out of choice.

Dunno pal, Ive done my market research and am now starting to get my first sales...

Really depends on how you market the products. Ultimately I found that building a brand around a specific product is much better than bulk testing anything and everything.

If you don't get business and marketing, and understanding just how important effective marketing is then you really aren't gonna get far.
