“With its elegant looks, excellent cabin and generous levels of equipment, the Giulia has plenty of showroom appeal. That’s backed up by very dynamic performance. It’s not perfect, though. For instance, its touchscreen multimedia system lags behind rivals, and the boot is very small for this type of car.”
