We don't have the diesel option here in the USA. How do you like it?
Never driven the 280 gasoline version to compare, but definitely fast enough for a family :wink2: car.
I actually calculated, that for a 10y-300kKm period I will save over 30k€ (35k$) in fuel, taxes etc over the gasoline version.
Which means that for a given budget (for this period), even if I had bought the cheapest gasoline giulia I wouldn't have enough money for fuel...
Also, I calculated that if someone revs up to 4000, the diesel is at least as fast as the gasoline, and even if he revs up to 4000 in diesel and 5000 in gasoline the difference is small.
And for the family, revving is not very acceptable.
So buying a gasoline version and going slow so that the family is happier and my pocket remains healthy, is not a sensible option in my opinion.
Any way I will write a full review as soon as I have some time, but for now I'm really content driving this car, it's definitely the best overall "family compatible" car I have ever driven.
