I hit the road to experience the Junior 280 Veloce in the real world rainy conditions, here are my initial thoughts.

  • Ride Quality: Firm but smooth.
  • Steering Feel: Light in normal mode, weights up well at speed or in Sport Mode, sharp and precise offering great feedback.
  • Handling: It was a very wet day but really composed with hardly any body roll.
  • Acceleration: Instant linear torque making it quick off the mark.
  • Braking: Reassuring and with a progressive feel.
  • Interior: I just couldn’t stop looking and touching it. The Sabelt seats are a must.

Overall, it delivers a very Alfa Romeo “like” experience. 

The familiar Alfa Romeo driving agility dynamics are still there.
