Every so often a car comes along that has some flaw to it that you just cannot train your brain to ignore, and which therefore rankles. It makes you think, “why did they do that?”, and no satisfactory answer comes to mind. And when you’re paying more than £30,000 for something that’s supposed to make you feel good, that’s a bit of a shame.
So it is with the new Alfa Romeo Junior Elettrica. This is the first all-electric launch for the storied brand and, on the whole, it’s a pretty, smart, competent little thing, if a bit short on interior space. There are nice design touches all around this electro-baby, as we’ve come to expect. The designers have clearly been given their head.
