- The Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio is an incredible car. It's 2.9-litre V6 turbo engine has 510hp and it can go from 0-60mph in just 3.9 seconds. And in this video review I time just how fast it is, see how easy it is to powerslide and even jump it over a hill.

so fucking true
Best comment ever! Oh it's true! It's damn true!
They have...
This car is a dream

Zwivhuya Sivhabu of course
My dream came true 🤤😍
my absolute dream car too
yes, but saddly the too many years of german cars domain, make the possible giulia client totaly blind by the mass decision in that fucking segment..
I have an Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio specced just like this, I brought her new in 2018.
Just performed the 80,000 mile service and I'm still thrashing her everyday, fantastic car.
Little late but I'm in the process of getting one. How's been the servicing and costs on it. Want to keep this thing running well into the 100K mile mark.
That Alfa's just plain gorgeous. Also, 500+hp from a 2.9 V6? (0_0)
Derrick Harvey tuned. Ford GT still has a V6.

Yeah, there's your problem.
I was loving the Alfa but then I read about a detail which nobody talks about ... It has 2.6 bar of turboboost! I do not think that it will survive that for a long time :(
Well,the pistons and rods are probably made for that kind of boost,so its shouldn't be a problem
Yeah sure ... not. There is a technical limitation. Also the Alfa has a lot of problems (partly because of the high pressure).
The best CAR in his Class.
Go ALFA ROMEO.
For the mechanics.:)
@@markusortmaier7174 not exactly !! Own one firs test it and then you can decide if it is made for the mechanics
Your profile picture is great 😂😂
people who consider themselves car enthusiasts watch these kind of videos....and brain dead tomatoes watch mo vlogs
Inglorious hahaha true, that guy is such a tool
Ur so true
Never heard of him
True Shit HAHAHAHAA
Damn Justin Y made his way to the car world too
Simply a great car, reliable too. Way more fun than ANY German offering. Well done Alfa!
We all love this car...The question is, if you had enough money, would you realistically go for this or one of its competitors 🤔
livc444111 my super sport is arriving next week, the best I could afford! would I have had the quadrifoglio??? YES ABSOLUTELY YES!!!! It'll be a 2.0 petrol for me instead haha!
livc444111 Yes. Yes I would!
livc444111 I would.
heard quite a few quality problems with these already. piston heads were testing one and it dropped into limp mode.
livc444111 i chose the giulia 🍀and believe me I have absolutely no regrets
Maserati, Ferrari, Alfa, Lamborghini, Pagani....those Italians...
@Stoop Wars old fiat panda was a tank
Lancia abarth the list goes on
@@dirkdiggler6230 keep dreaming lmao
Monica Belucci
pagani is Argentinian
Stunning car and extremely happy with mine! It literally stops people on the road! Never had so many admirers on any of my previous cars.
Tq 👍👍👍👍👍
I’ve had this car in the same color for 2 years. Flawless and still makes me smile. It’s a unique experience
How has it been for you reliability wise? All I read online are the usual stereotypes so I need to hear it from real owners
@@fabulousprofound nothing wrong after over 2 years: My only criticism of the car is that the stereo sucks. And an oil filter is $90
@@2steaksandwiches665 wow is the filter lined with gold??? But that brings me to my next question… how are the service costs, not knowing what your mileage is at?
@@fabulousprofound first service is free and my last one (3rd one) was like a grand. It’s pricey. Google the price for the oil filter..:it’s nuts
@@2steaksandwiches665 thank you for answering my questions. I’m coming from a bmw f80 m3, so my servicing costs have been covered by bmw since new, but that is about to expire with my warranty soon unless I extend it, but that is pricey too. Alfas are very rare in my parts, with a dealer ratio of more than 2:1 when compared with bmw, and indie shops that can work on them are even fewer. Back when I bought my m3, I tried going to get a test drive in a QV, but they wouldn’t allow you to even sit in it unless there is a non refundable deposit or a contract signed… I got cold feet and did not follow through and ended up going bmw instead 🤷♂️
kidnappers disliked this
It's called the 'sicilian switch'.
+kraenk12 German go fast ZERO, Carabinieri ONE... Better changing business...mafiosos
Philippe Suter start again mate
The first thing I'd do as a kidnapper would be to deactivate the internal escape latch. I might even repurpose it to add insult to injury to the victim... perhaps it releases a swarm of fire ants into the trunk...
wait... why there's an internal bunk door switch at the first place? to open it from the back seat?
2:50 that made me laugh cause one of the most common stereotypes about the old 60's Giulia is that it was used bye mafious people to kidnap people or hyde corpses. Maybe that's why they put that button there :)
Santos0292 and sales go down xD
My 159 is great for kidnapping, no internal release at all and room for a good 4 live ones in there.
it's because they're legally required to
@@chrisogrady28 better check again under back seat 😉
There is emergency boot release
Looks better than ANY German car
Have one. 2019. In race mode, dampers on mid on a back road flat out, the car feels more like a mid engined super car than a 4 door sedan. Truly amazing car to drive fast.
Pay attention to what you said. Because claiming that the giulia QV is the best in its class will attract thousands of german fanboys crying and annoying everybody by using the most stupid excuses to show that bmw/merc/audi are the best instead
@s n that would depend on if you're buying a sedan for the lap time LMAO. Audi s4 owner haha
They would, but this is an alfa so they'll keep digging their hole
After seeing what they have done to the new G80 M3… this is even more gorgeous
5:35 is the reason why i will always watch your videos
After two years, still think your review is the best of all, nicely done.
What a beast of a car , had a 159 gta back in the day , broke my heart and my bank balance but still loved it
159 didn't had a GTA model.
3.2 JTS (GM) engine ;)
156 GTA 3.2 V6 (Alfa romeo) engine is much better looking (and faster)
I had a 156 GTA sportwagon, still miss her
I once saw this car take off so quick in front of me that I followed it for 30 minutes to find out what car it was.
Man this car still looks as sexy and aggressive as the day it was first released! I think this once again will be one of those Alfa's that doesn't really age look-wise, like the 8C. The M3 or M4 just look angular and boring compared to this.
8 years later
for me, I would buy this before a Mercedes BMW or Audi of equivalent price, V8 could be nice too...but I think the V6 fits it better!
Ferrari V6 >> BMW/Mercedes V8
@@jorge8596 what about my fav , the Lexus LFA engine ??
@@10daysAgo LFA is on another class bro. It's incomparable
Saw one on M11 the other day, drove along side for a few miles admiring it's beauty. Looks sooo beautiful in flesh
I love how it can be a powerful sports car but also a practical family car too
My dad had one for 3 years and while it’s an amazing car, it’s actually closer to 1700kg than 1400kg. Also loves to skid in the low gears which could sometimes be a problem.
The Alfa Giulia Quadrifoglio 🍀 is really an Alpha Man car !!! 💪🏼
Used an Alfa 33... Then moved up to the 168... Currently in transit and hey presto... Just what the doctor prescribed... Giulia Quadrifoglio... Absolutely loving it... The best part... That sweet V8 Noise coming from just a 2.9 V6 🏆 imagine getting V8 performance with just V6 economy... Priceless 🏆🎖
That was my first car and I am thinking buying a Giulia QV
I love the M3 since i was a little boy... but one i saw this Giulia right next to an M3... man the Bmw is gorgeouse... but this Alfa is just something else!
I'm pretty sure this is my new favorite car
That was an awesome review, Matt! And well done on that flight of 0.52 of a second!
"Best car in this class" you nailed it
Fabulous car! Every angle, superb design. Incredible power.
wow, first time in a review I see a car fly :) nice.
Love mine giulia quadrifoglio
I feal sick if I'm not driving her at least one day🍀🍀
Alfa have done it!!
There are to things which stayed in my heart from my childhood. 1st my dog Great Dane and 2nd my uncle's 1980's Alfa Romeo GT 2000. I am so glad Alfa Romeo found their soul again! Just need to sell both of my kidneys and throw my wife down the stairs and make a claim hahaha
I like the feature where the hazards come out with hard braking.
I don't freaking care about the interior this is a masterpiece
Carwow no doubt the best as most fun to watch CZcams channel about cars. No bullshit always straight to point.
You have by far the best reviews on CZcams! Keep it up 💪🏻👍🏻😎
Prettier than bmw, merc and audi
F Maodin correct
101%
That's because Italians are artists. What's German art? The swastika?
Lucky Baldwin Oi!
@@LuckyBaldwin777 even swastik is not german mate. Lol
It makes perfect sense! The Alfa is for people who love driving, and the BMW is for people who want to act like dicks. We already knew that.
Beautiful car to look at, and even better to drive!
For people who have small dicks 🤣🤣🤣
Matts reviews are excellent for next used classic....
That rear end does something for me, love it
"It starts at £61,000"
*clicks off video because doesn't have enough money to buy this sexy car*
This car is legendary
Lol.
Gotta wait like 10-20 years so prices drop to 10k or something like that
2:20So you can feel this beautiful aluminum padels.... Mmmm oh yeah... 😂😂😂
It's car review programs like this, that make Top Gear the best there ever was or will be.
Matt you rock. Your videos just keep getting better! Thank you
This is why i like alfa its so brutal but why is alfa so underated thooo
Elias Van Goethem trust me it is not underrated no more, in the Usa i’ve seen so many of these
Traction control is never 'off' on any modern car. Even when off the car is limited by the engineers to what they think is safe.
RTL the truth has been spoken 😂
NISSAN 370Z NISMO. YOU CAN DEFINETLY TURN OFF AND i LOVE IT :D
In this one you could also turn it off but its not just putting in Race Mode.
BTW the VDC systems of Alfa's allow side drift till a certain YAW Angle. I have a 156 and it allows a lot of mess before it triggers the VDC.
Thank you for doing a great honest review with some passion...unlike android man who reviewed it like a smart phone on Redline...that gave me a headache...no a migraine actually.
STUNNING BEAUTIFUL CAR FROM ITALY
6:22 Isn't the diff there to help the car put down power, not burn rubber?
:O *ITS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING I EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE!!!!*
the rear looks absolutely stunning
We deserve an update video on the shortcomings that were there in 2018, as they were enhanced in the 2020 version. Not all of them tho.
Thank you Alfa Romeo! Hopefully I’ll get one of you in the next 2 years. :(
Could you guys convert to metric next times?
Google.... maybe??
10 months into owning mine (red calipers), daily drive, 14,500 miles and faultless - it really does make you giggle! ; )
Honestly, this car sounds amazing when i've heard it on the road.
What happened to the verdict as to wether you should avoid/consider/shortlist/buy it?
rtownz251251 I think he means just buy it
Marco Montano I know I saw that from his enthousiasm but still this is targeted at consumers. Purists will love it but will it suit the average customer/consumer in this category. I definitely think he would've said buy it but I'm finding it odd he didn't put it in the review.
Hi said best car in its class! What more verdict do you need???
peter halasz I know, I noticed his enthousiasm but generally he states it at the end of his reviews. It's his house style and something you tend to get used to. I know he probably would've said go ahead and buy it but I just noticed the inconsistency and wondered why.
It's not the normal car review format, so there is no 'consider, shortlist, buy' thing at the end. There wasn't a top 5 / worst 5, and no normal driving, infotainment and luggage capacity clip either.
I think Alphas problem is that in the past they were huge but theyve let themselves down recently and now people would rather buy a merc or bmw or audi as they are "more dependable" or "more of a fashion icon" and as a result theyve fallen down the pecking order even if they still produce a stunning, incredible car like this with such pure italian passion.
It's ALFA for fuck sake, not "Alpha" get it right...
1:08 it actually flies 💸 wow
I love this car review but what I love more is Mat Watson. Funny and cute!
8:07 How to trigger someone.
You asshole
Lol
This car got so much more personality than its german competitors. Remember this is just my opinion
Hazard lights is to let the driver behind you know that you are going hard on the brake. Allso on highway when there is a traffic upfront,youre driving 120kph and have to break to 30kph the driver behind can not see how hard you brake sinds the brakelights dont have levels to show hoe hard you go on brakes. For that reason alot of drivers put on the hazard lights manualy to show the driver behind that they are hard on brakes so they have to brake hard to. So thats a good option from alpharomeo👌🏼👌🏼
This car is Amazing, only when you have in front of your eyes you release that car is really beautifull
Giulia doesn't like to behave wildly with everybody, if you know what I mean ;). Anyway Alfa hit the mark with this car, at last the good old Alfa 75 has a worthy successor
293 disliked are owner of bmw m3 and Amz c63 haha
O 99 amz means mercedes has faked exhaust. bbq grill fan boy are you?
O 99 so you mean that the bmw big big family barbecue grills are good? They copied KIA’s grills also hahaha
so amazing, that car's engine is even smaller than merc's M272 engine but can match the AMG's 4.0L V8 handbuilt engine 😱😱
really like the Alfa Giggle at 04:18 lol
"It's not going at all! That makes you question your abilities"
Sounds like you are not talking about cars if you know what i mean
Mark Molenaar
Haha I see what you did there...
great review as always!
Future classic. 100%
100% agree.. best car in its class.
W Alfaromeo! now get back to WTCC and GT competition ! We need squadra corse back !
Such a lovely car. Want!
The front splitter had opened before the jump. very well Alfa !
Imagine a Giulia coupe... I think it would be my "kinda realistic" goal in life
*Amazing car.*
My biggest question related to new cars is why doesn't this car sell? Not the quadrifoglio, because it's really meant to grab press attention and be a marketing tool, but Alfa needs to sell volumes right now and somehow, people aren't buying the normal sedan and I just can't figure out why the hell not? Perhaps it's because it's quite high priced for a new player with questionable history and reliability issues, compared to it's rivals. But still, if I'd have the money, I'd get the Alfa. Hands down, the best looking sedan today. And I'm a big BMW fan and owner, yet I'd take the Alfa without blinking. I really do hope sales pick up. I don't want Alfa to vanish into history.
mowglilp Because people want an image where they look richer than what they actually are, and BMW, Mercedes and Audi are just what they want, a "rich looking" car for posers (the majority) unlike smaller brands. If people didn't think like that (and that german cars are just automotive perfection and the rest is nothing) and wanted for real the "best" car for them most of them wouldn't go to buy it choosing by popularity and myths but would consider the rest of it, but of course it is much cooler to have four links on the front grill compared to the historic (and it is historic for real) one of Milano (but I have to say that I can see in my area quite few Giulia and Stelvio and Alfa Romeo in generals, yes it is Milano's hinterland but it isn't like in Torino where a non-FIAT car is rare).
Alfa Romeo's history is all but questionable (apart for the 80's, when just the engines won in many racing series), it has a great history, it won the first automotive championship ever in 1925, it would have won the 1950 and 1951 F1 constructor championship if it wasn't introduced in 1958, since they dominated them with the 158 and 159 (with Farina and Fangio); so, it has won in the 50's in F1 and rally, then in the 60's (when BMW copied the first Giulia for making the 3 series) with 6 ETCC titles, then in 70's with the prototypes (dominating the 1977 season), it destroyed the germans on their own turf in the 90's (where the germans kept to change the technical rules to defeat Alfa Romeo, then there's Singen 1994, karma that now DTM is slowly dying) with 155 and 2000's with the 156 again in ETCC; it is a brand plenty of victories since 1913 (still not as many as Ferrari, McLaren, Porsche and Ford), it has produced great road cars through the years and from it two brands were born, Ferrari (from 1929 to 1947 Scuderia Ferrari used Alfa Romeo cars before using in 1948 the 125 F1 and before that Enzo was an Alfa Romeo driver along with Antonio Ascari, father of Alberto Ascari, "el negher" Giuseppe Campari and Ugo Sivocci, the man of the famous quadrifoglio, and considered Alfa Romeo as a mother, infact after Silverstone 1951, with Gonzalez winning on the 375 F1, Enzo said "Today I killed my mother" on Ferrari's first victory) and Lamborghini (that wouldn't exist without Ferruccio being angry at Ferrari).
Again, Alfa Romeo's history is all but questionable.
Finally the price it's the same as the competitors, and in some cases Giulia is even cheaper than the rest, plus you have to take care of your car if you want it to be reliable, but people clearly didn't do that considering in this years Alfa a cheap car and probably the only fluid they changed in the car was the fuel, but you can hear stories of reliable Alfas as well as faulty cars from trusted brands.
Well when people spend this kind of money they think of resale value as well.
I disagree. People want reliability. Most BMW fans are also ALFA fans as they both stand for raw driving pleasure. I love BMW and I also love ALFA. I'd love to own a Alfa but I doubt I ever will because a) completely unreliable and B) residual loss.
I drive a BMW M4 Its not to 'look richer than I am' I can afford the car I own it with no finance. I could just as easy buy this quadrofoglio but I'd be constantly worried about when it would let me down. That's why Alfas don't sell well, nothing to do with financial image that's nonsense.
human brain is lazy: what others do I do too:=) it saves a lotta thinking. And maybe the 3 big Gerry are good cars....?
Dale Steel I’ve had 3 Alfa’s and they’ve been the most reliable cars I’ve had.
Mat watson is such a great reviewer / comedian / Entertainer / driver / Information source 😆
