Carsales specifically lists the 2012 Australian Giulietta Distinctive Auto MY12 as the 1.4T, 125 kW, six-speed twin-clutch version. Alfa Romeo’s own Australian technical material also confirms the 2012 1.4 TB MultiAir could be supplied with the TCT gearbox and produced 125 kW.
This 2012 Alfa Romeo Giulietta combines a lively 1.4-litre turbo engine with a proper 6-speed manual gearbox, producing 125kW. It’s quick enough to be fun, comfortable enough to use every day and still remarkably economical.
Finished in Alfa Black with 17-inch alloy wheels, it still has that distinctive Giulietta styling that stands out from the usual hatchbacks.
It’s also very well equipped, with dual-zone climate control, cruise control, automatic headlights and rain-sensing wipers, Bluetooth, rear parking sensors, multifunction steering wheel and front and rear electric windows.
Safety equipment includes six airbags, ABS, electronic stability and traction control.
The car has travelled approximately 136,000 km and registration runs until April 2027.
If you’re looking for something practical but don’t want another anonymous hatchback, the Giulietta is a lovely alternative. It has five doors, plenty of everyday usability, excellent fuel economy and, most importantly, is genuinely enjoyable to drive.
Inspections are welcome.
