@brandons9138 that's great to hear, glad you can enjoy it without those issues! I went to a local autoshow recently and got to sit in and drive the new 2024 giulia and well...there was a more-than-expected amount of creaking, but honestly it was so beautiful and so fun that I didn't care
I love the comments about how awful Alfas are to own. Same people probably get their info from the 1980s or their buddy who had one and took zero care of it. I have a 2017 Giulia with 64k miles on it and no issues. Take care of it and it’ll take care of you.
Im going to just say that the 4-cylinder base is still great. Very satisfied and it ranks well on reliability, something you'd never expect from an Italian Automobile
I knew this video was coming!! Say what you want about Alfa, but the Giulia and the Stelvio, especially in QV version are masterpieces. The Giorgio platform keeps giving almost 10 years later! So sad that they are abandoning it for the next gen....
I love mine from 2019. It eats WRX for breakfast, Scat Packs for lunch, and M4's for dinner. It's basically just a really big GT-R. I was very sad to hear that April 2024 will be the last time Americans can order the quadrifolgio models. It never got its due following here like it should.
The parts sharing happened around 5-6 years ago when Ferrari and Alfa were under the same company, now alfa have Ferrari engineered parts that they can use for the Guilia and Stelvio (only those 2 models)
@ravishanf before then Fiat Chrysler CEO, Sergio Marchionne, spun off Ferrari he wanted to reinvent Alfa Romeo as the driver's car it once was. He hired Ferrari engineers to develop the Giorgio chassis and the Giulia and Stelvio based on this chassis. They copied their previous work at Ferrari, but they were Alfa Romeo employees. The head engineer for Giulia also developed the Ferrari 458.
They worked with Ferrari on this, it is the same engine but with 2 cylinders chopped off. Your Toyota is a junker with no power exclusively made to last
As a vehicle inspector I get plenty of cool cars to come around that need an inspection. A Lamborghini huracan performante, two corvette zr1’s, I even did this car but in the green and a 2024.
I have a 2020 Giulia (not Quadrifoglio unfortunately) and it's hands down the best car I've ever driven. The steering feel and nimbleness of the car is almost like a go kart on rails - insanely sharp and precise steering that you'll only understand if you drive one. I get about 20-25mpg which is insanely good for the the stop-and-go nightmare traffic here in NYC. I'll be going 80mph on the highway and it feels like 50. The leather sport seats hug you and are super comfortable. Still under factory warranty and the extended warranty is about $1500 for an ADDITIONAL 60,000 miles after the factory warranty expires. Not a single check engine light or issue since owning the vehicle. Only people that never drove an Alfa complain about the reliability (and it's because of a Car & Driver article from 2017 regarding the Giulia Quadrifoglio that was new at the time and had some electrical issues that were all fixed in later years). You can pick one up used with less than 40k miles for about $20k-$25k. They're steals.
@@indianapwn3s2018 is the first year of Stelvio so yeah, all of 'em. The only money I spent was on routine service so far in 33,000 miles and four years. Which isn't cheap, an oil filter is $125 and the 30k miles service was over $1000 for new serpentine belt. Still, I got the MOPAR extended warranty on mine just in case, but it seems like if you treat it right and keep your oil change intervals nice and tight, it should last. I'm sure if you do a lot of track days then it could need more work. Of course if it does need work done, the engine bay does not give a lot of space to work and you have a lot of stuff to remove just to even do the spark plugs. There is also a special weird tool you need for the esoteric style of clamps they use on certain hoses: Clic-R clamps need a special tool that is not typically found in your usual auto parts store and you may have to order one from Europe for like $60-100 if you want to do your own spark plugs like I did. Took me about four hours. It is a very compex machine but everything seems quite well put together in there and using quality materials on the parts.
I’ll never forget going 100 mph on the freeway and an older gen of these did a pull next to me… my guess is he hit atleast 150 in what felt like nothing
