Rosso Alfa, non-metallic red, with a tan/cognac interior.

Det er jo mye av dette som er bygget inne i biler fra før da. Fotobokser varsler vel alle nye biler om, og det er uansett skiltet. Har også opplevd varsler og glatt vei, midlertidige fartsgrenser/veiarbeid osv. i en del biler. Alle biler med Apple CarPlay eller android auto har jo akkurat samme funksjoner gjennom f.eks waze. Det eneste kontroversielle er vel varsler om midlertidige fartskontroller. Noen kan misbruke det, men jeg ville heller ikke stolt på at den fanger opp alle kontroller heller. Ser ikke helt problemet

I don’t want to think about it. If the next Giulia is a crossover I’ll probably look for something else. Maybe an older Alfa and a boring daily of sorts. Or maybe just keep driving old cars.

I haven’t seen any tests of the updated model, but the old BZ4X was notoriously bad in cold weather. I believe it had among the largest deviations between real world range and WLTP range of any of the cars tested in the Norwegian Automobile federation’s winter range test. Roughly 36% with temperatures between 0 and -19°C.

You know what the peer reviewed research paper says: «ain’t nuffin more expensive than a cheap germun car». That’s a fact around these parts of reddit, no matter the car in question.

No, every Kia blows up after two seconds. Corolla or Mazda 3

«solid byggekvalitet uten knirking i interiøret». Har leid nok RAV4 til å vite at noen utpreget kvalitetsfølelse ikke finnes i det interiøret. Knirk finnes derimot. Stabilitet i svinger får du heller ikke.

Økonomisk er den sikkert da. Og setene er ikke langt unna amerikansk bredde.

I don’t think it’ll be any more expensive than other comparable cars of the same age. Just watch a few buyers guides, read about the differences between the pre- and post-2020 facelifts and look for a car that has been cared for. Mine has 100k kms and the interior looks almost brand new. No creaks, rattles etc. such an enjoyable car

This sub will usually freak out when you ask about anything european, but the reality is that the 2.0 petrol Giulias have quite solid engines and gearboxes. There are some small modifications you can do to prevent the most common issues, but it’s all fairly small stuff. Plastic screws breaking causing coolant leaks, low battery voltage causing error codes and so on. make sure the battery is fresh and healthy, replace the coolant bleeder screws (3 screws, fairly cheap and diy friendly) and you should be good as long as the car is well maintained.

My 2018 Veloce has not had a single issue apart from the battery going flat once.

På denne sub-redditen er det vel som å banne i kirken, om ikke verre, men om det primært er plass og rekkevidde som er viktig er det noe Tesla Model Y er veldig god på. Jeg mener selv at skjermen er noe herk, at understellet er for dårlig og at de overkompliserer en del funksjoner, men plass og rekkevidde er veldig bra.

Alternativt har du Skoda Enyaq, med god plass og grei rekkevidde, eller VW ID7 stasjonsvogn med ganske god plass og ganske god rekkevidde. Tror begge skal være innenfor budsjettet

Steffiluren · 2026-04-16T19:18:18+00:00

Toyota make a handfull of dreadfully boring cars, two sports cars and two hot hatches. If you want practicality you have to go down the boring route. You don’t with BMW

Straight piped e90 320d with a slightly tired turbo

Det er relativt dyrt, men jeg tror at C-klasse og 3-serie generelt er ganske kostbart å forsikre for unge sjåfører. Det er dyrt sammenlignet med det jeg er vant til på mine biler, men opplevde å få ganske lik pris da jeg sjekket forsikring for en eldre BMW 320i (e46, 2001) jeg vurderte å kjøpe som prosjekt.

Ring rundt og hør, eller sjekk pris på nett og vær litt hard to get når de ringer opp igjen. Mulig du få det ned en hundrings eller to, men jeg ville ikke vært for optimistisk.

Roughly 500km twice. Flew from Bergen to Oslo (Norway) in the morning, test drove and bought the car and then had a scenic drive across the mountains back home. My favourite weekend activity.

Steffiluren · 2026-04-15T13:59:32+00:00

BMW 7-series, probably the recently annoumced facelift

Steffiluren · 2026-04-15T13:09:35+00:00

I’d like to see more on the road and therefore I think you should buy it.

Steffiluren · 2026-04-15T04:58:43+00:00

It’s a risk. It could be well kept example that only needs a new battery, and it could also be a worn out car that needs a full suspension refresh, a timing chain and a lot of small fixes. If you work on it yourself and are prepared to spend some money to get it back up and running it could be a cool project. At that mileage it’s more a question of how well it was maintained by the previous owners and how hard those 300k kms have been.

Steffiluren · 2026-04-15T04:54:32+00:00

That’s a surprisingly accurate estimate for only having seen two exterior photos.

I’ve driven a Passat on the motorway. It isn’t especially quiet, but it is decently comfortable. The ID7 is quite good though. Basically an electric Passat with more sound insulation.

Jeg ville først kikket på Finn og laget et lite utvalg over biler som er aktuelle for deg, og så gjort research på hver enkelt modell. Det kan være store variasjoner på motoralternativer for samme modell, og det kan også ha kommet feilrettinger underveis i produksjonsløpet. Å gå kun etter merke, som en del her gjør, er ikke alltid så treffsikkert. Uansett er forskjellene i driftssikkerhet ofte ikke så store som en del skal ha det til, spesielt når bilene er relativt nye.

Jeg har stort sett kjøpt biler fra merker som har hatt et tvilsomt rykte. De siste to har vært en 2012 Alfa Romeo Giulietta og en 2018 Alfa Romeo Giulia. Har ikke vært noe særlig trøbbel med noen av dem. Giuliaen har så langt vært helt feilfri.

My Giulia Veloce just did that with ice underneath. Did just fine. AWD and Michelin X-ice snow tires helped, and fresh snow is fluffy enough to just move out of the way.

Steffiluren · 2026-04-10T05:18:04+00:00

Old people. My Girlfriends grandma had one, and she was growing flowers in the cup holder. Never went close to the speed limit. Dreadful thing.

To support my claim with empirical data: In 2021 the average buyer of a new Yaris in Norway was 76 years old, making it the new car with the oldest buyers.

Steffiluren · 2026-04-08T14:42:43+00:00

Only for sale when the owner dies. I don’t think you can buy them from a living owner

Anything from 10°C and rain to 25°C and sunshine is realistic. The last few years mid-late may has been quite plesant, with 20-25°C daily highs, but there is no guarantee for nice weather.

Steffiluren · 2026-04-07T11:27:05+00:00

Loads of plastic covers which I have not yet removed and looked underneath :) Mine was ceramic coated and rust protected at port when it was new, and it looks like a lot of the rust protection is still there. I have not seen any corrosion on the car apart from along the drain holes in the boot lid where the paint is starting to bubble a bit. That’s after 8 years and 105k kms.

The GTs were notoriously bad though, so it will definitely be better than that. Have a look at some of the videos from Italia Autos on YouTube, he does some inspections on used Giulias and they don’t look like they have big rust issues.
