Is the Alfa Romeo Giulietta safe enough for family use?

When first launched in 2010, the Giulietta achieved a maximum five-star Euro NCAP rating with an impressive 97% score for adult occupancy; however, because safety standards became much stricter over its long production life, its rating was later downgraded to three stars in 2017 due to a lack of modern active safety tech. For buyers considering the Alfa Romeo Giulietta, that matters because it affects how easy the car is to live with, whether for commuting, family use, long-distance driving or ownership costs. The useful way to read this is not as an isolated specification, but as a clue to how the car will feel in real daily use.
