Thank you Alfa Romeo for my Stelvio!
Nurburgring record. Better looking than BMW M series. More powerful. Ah yes... And that's an Alfa, you're driving art and history at the same time.
Alberto Pozzi That’s right!🙏
PureDriveTV I love that car, in Italy it's still underestimated, unfortunately. Too many years of german cars, while Alfa was not reliable, back in the days. I hope that Giulia will receive the appreciation it deserves.
@@albertopozzi9908 Alfa's were always reliable....Your mechanics were NOT !!!!
Dino Pappous to be honest Alfa has been producing terrible cars for the last 15 years, now it seems radically changed. They've realized they were about to fail. New Alfa cars are very good cars. Remember the task force who worked on new cars: Ferrari, Maserati, Alfa, FIAT Racing... They do have good engeeners and mechanics there, no doubt.
@@albertopozzi9908 and BMW now produces German Toyotas... they are ripe for the taking
Son, you must try Alfa Quadrifoglio with AT8 gearbox, and then it will be a 4-door Ferrari.
Max Rockatansky Yeah, I’ve heard that more often. Whenever I’ll get the chance, I’ll do that for sure. Thanks!
Awesome video. I’m the proud owner of a white Giulia QV. I think you summed it up perfectly...‘I don’t need a perfect car, I need a fun car!’ Couldn’t agree more 👊🏼🍀
Grahame Rex Exactly!! Nice, especially a white one. Cool!👌 Good choice!
Such a great video! Love my Alfa giulia qaudrifoglio. Before I bought one I test drove the manual version. Felt great, but the automatic transmission with the paddle shifters just felt that much better. Probably because that was the gearbox the car was designed around. I’ve had that same engine light issue come up before. It was very weird cause it came up at very random times. Most days I could be flooring it all the time and it would be fine, while others it would just randomly shut me out of race mode after the first acceleration. I also thought it had to do with the fuel pump because it felt like the engine was getting hung up on something for a millisecond and then freaked out a little. Took it to the dealership a few times to try and fix it. They tried a few software updates, and in the end they replaced the fuel pump and did one more big update specially designed to fix this problem, and since then it’s been absolutely fine. Still drive this car every day, and still makes me smile as much as it did the first time I drove it.
Rutger Hamel Cool that you have one!!🙏😃🔥
And good to hear the problems are solved aswell. And about the gearbox..even though I never drove the ZF one, I can only imagine it should be great and makes it a bit of a different car. I would guess mainly because of the 8 gears, so there’s less lag and the car/engine is just “snappier”. I’m glad you enjoy it every day, like you’re supposed to!👊😁
Thanks man!!😃
PureDriveTV Definetly less lag, and the paddles are just so nice to use. Love the fact that they are solid aluminium and that they are collum mounted (unlike the BMW’s). It makes it so satisfying going through the gears. Basically never take it out of race and manual mode for that brilliant noise and constant fun.
@@PureDriveTV it's not only about the fast shifts. I really think you are to harsh on the 8-speed Quadrifoglio. you really should try one. I also bought the 8-speed because it was putting a bigger smile on my face than de manual did.
Dirk Cuypers I’m not harsh on the zf gearbox. From what I hear and understand it should be great. I know that zf gearboxes are very good, have some experiences with them. Only not in the QV🙈
But my thing is the manual. I just love a manual gearbox.👊
This is a very good review, you seem like a good honest guy and i like your review. Thumbs Up. As for the car - not just Italian, but i think German, British cars in general, are troublesome, but may especially the British and Italian cars.
John Vu Yep!😉
Thank you, cool to hear that!🙏😃
Lekker bezig man!
Master Algenis 🙏😃
Great film of a manual! Thanx!
Glad you’ve enjoyed! Thanks😃
Would a solid aluminium (etc) gearknob be a good upgrade..?
Ok now I’ve driven a manual too. Didn’t realize the knob is already aluminium, but it is maybe a little big. Otherwise I agree, I still prefer the manual! I loved it
I ran into your video by chance. It is nice! I am an (Italian) owner of a QV, exactly like the one you tried but paddleshift (no manual in America), I agree with all you say... the interiors look quite cheap, but hell of a car. It is emotional, you said it right. And for me, no M3 (not even an M5) has this kind of emotion and "drama". I love this car, even when it did the same thing to the fuel pump you experienced. And please go experience living in Italy if you can work from remote :-) Thank you for the love.
zioricitalia Hi! Thanks for the kind words!!🙏😃 And great car you have!!!🔥👌
I sold my Ferrari after buying a QV. In fact I own two Porsche 911 GTS and they bore me to tears now. The only way to know is to own one. 2 years, perfect dependability.
Good to see one with so many miles (maybe next time take it to a dealer first who has the proper software). You should try the base car sometime. It’s also a sweetly balanced car.
Einfach ein absolutes Weltklasse Auto, von den (für mich!) besten Autobauern. Sowohl das Fahrwerk, die Abstimmung, das Fahrverhalten, da kann man lange suchen, um überhaupt etwas vergleichbares zu finden. Auch die üblichen "Platzhirsche" müssen sich hinten anstellen! Ich fahre selbst einen Alfa Romeo 159 seit 12 Jahren, aber das hier ist noch mal eine absolute Steigerung! Beste Grüße, Horst Lemke, Musikproduzent, Germany
The entire Giulia range has a carbon fibre prop shaft with a perfect 50/50 weight distribution. It's just unfortunate that the fuel pump played up whilst on track. Did the service tech say what was the fault of the pump? I own a Giulietta 1750QV from new since 2012 and loving it. Will not trade it in.
Kenneth P Oh damn, haha. I actually knew about the carbon fiber prop shaft. To bad I forgot to mention it in the video.
But I didn’t know that the entire Giulia range has that carbon prop shaft. I thought it was only on the QV. Thanks for the info!
I wasn’t there when the pump got replaced, so I have no idea what the exact problem was.
Good choice. I love the Giulia!🔥👌
Haha nice to know squeeky seats, trims AND that LOUD indicator still remains a nagging feature in alfa cars. Like he said he does'nt want perfect he wants to have fun. Really good review, though I do like those paddel shifters.
Zion2030 Haha exactly! Cool, thanks man!! Yeah, I understand why people would go for the paddle shifter👌
Ciao!👊
Now try it again with the automatic ZF gearbox. It’s a different car.
Dom Loz Yeah, I hear that all the time. Need to do that soon!👍
@@PureDriveTV If you ever come to Florida, I might consider letting you try mine ;) We only got the paddles in the US.
Oh, and if you didn't find out, it's 60mph for the splitter lowering.
yabo1 That’s a good enough reason already to go to Florida!🙏😁 Thanks amigo, appreciate it! About the 60mph fact...Actually I didn’t find that out (also forgot about it to be honest🙈). But cool to know, thanks!
Great one , #1

Good review by someone who “gets it”....
Alfa Romeo 😍
Why did you set the suspension to mid setting in race mode on the track? I can see the middle of the mode selector was white, when it's red that's the firm option.
Regarding the check engine light issue. These cars have 2 fuel tanks both sides and there is a pump to balance them out. When the car is low on fuel (it signs amber on the dash) in long fast corners one of the tanks could run out of fuel and you get the check engine light.
L PETER Very sharp!👀😉👌
The first day I had it on the hard setting, but within one lap the malfunction occurred. The second day I decided to test it on the mid setting because of some quite bumpy sections at Zandvoort. But then again the malfunctions occurred and I got quite distracted by that, so I didn’t test the difference between the 2 suspension modes. I’m still not sure if the hardest setting would be the fastest at this track..
About the fuel: I started every time with a full tank. I understand the corner/fuel problem with road cars without a surge tank, but this is the first road car that gave me problems after only 6 laps. The tank was still 3/4 full. Actually, this is the first road car giving me any problems at the track regardless the amount of laps..🙈
Cheers!
yeah,,, stick shift...
modern super or sport car just set the number,number and number sometimes they forget the art of pure driving style with 3 pedals.. like to see if you drive all of manual super or sport car.

Vantage manual or 911r. That would be great! I’m not sure (yet) where to find them to film😅

Some people don't like having multiple textures on the wheel.
@@dinopappous6639I think the manuals all got leather wheel
Very good review.
The first models manual have the same problems with fuel pump like yours (solved). Turbo lag is minimal if You try with 8 speed ZF. I know is beautiful having a manual gear box but if You compare both, ZF is perfect for this Ferrari engine. With ZF very minimal turbo lag.
M B Thank you!🙏
Yeah, I can imagine that the ZF gearbox works great in here. I haven’t tried it. And I guess the lag is less because of the 8 gears compared to the 6 of the manual.
PureDriveTV perfect Answer!! Compliments for your skills👍👍
SURPRISE ENDING !!!!
The active splitter lowers between 65 to 70 mph .
Joe Sozzi Yes, thank you!!🙏
LOL I had an Alfa Romeo back in the late 70s. The engine went out after only 30K miles. I found out later that the dealership never change the oil filter because the air conditioner pump covered the oil filter and you had to remove the pump to change the filter. The pain of that car never allowed me to buy another one. I did like driving the car as long as it lasted but I would be hesitant to buy another one. :-)
John Roth Oh wow...which Alfa was that? Yep, I understand that after such an experience it’s difficult to buy another one.. But on the other hand, the reason was “not changing the oil filter”, right? So if that would have happened, the engine would have maybe survived..?🙈
Every time you mention M3 the check engine light came on....
mikelin7 😂😂😂🙈
...laughing every time you say Quadrifoglio :)
Warlock Hahaha, I’m glad I made you laugh..🙈😂
@@PureDriveTV try pronouncing it without G in there, all same as you do, but as if there is no G (Quadrifollio) :)
Warlock Haha, I’ve just tried it and indeed, it sounds more Italian that way!😁👌
Believe me, Mercedes Amg E63 performance dashboard squiiiz too... And this in a new car show room.. The Benz sales man's says, nobody touch this when you drive, it's only for look
Loco Siffredi No way?! For real??😐
@@PureDriveTVYes, the wood quality interior don't have so much this problem, but the klavierlack Schwarz style is only cheap plastic
2:50 "V6 engine was Developed by Alfa Romeo.. No Ferrari" But it was a Ferrari V8 engine before Alfa engineers shrinked by 2 cylinders and attached two turbos.
Dynamic mode also got open exhaust valves for MY 2020 cars. Manual shifter is worse than ZF 8 speed automatic and the car is quicker and faster with automatic than with manual.
Sorry for Engine management warning light, but at last you were able to push the pedal to the metal with a good weather condition ;)
Thanks for your review!
mesa's artworks Exactly! It’s a Ferrari engine -2 😄
Just a couple of points. You do realise that the Guilia QV automatic was 6 seconds faster than the manual around Nurburgring? Carbon brakes take more work to get to operating temperature. The engine was designed by Ferrari and the front suspension was also designed by the guy who did the 458 Stradale. Up until that test the car had no real issues. It's not perfect things go wrong with all mechanical things especially high performance vehicles. Ask any BMW, Mercedes or Audi owner.
Merlin51h I know that the automatic QV is quicker, but I didn’t know about the 6 sec. It doesn’t surprise me though. And I agree with all your points.👍
PureDriveTV thanks for taking my comments positively. I have a 159 TBi Ti Manual and the gearbox / clutch is sometimes annoying. Good handling, engine and looks make up for it!
@@merlin51h84 we all love Alfa, but after so many year you would expect at least some progress... but not... still @ghost@ in the wires....disapointing

Fun to see the driver trying to accomplish that Alfa is a beauty junky car!
Seem that took the car to a beetle mechanic! What are the DTCs?
M3 cracks it higher pressure fuel pump at 35.000 km and it´s common issue at all the line as well Tsi engines.
But never mind, let´s try to say that Giulia will broke as the competitors!
Perfect product? It does not exist for sure.
For sure, it´s good to see after all trying to say Alfa is not good, changed driver´s emotional feel due performance feel and behavior.
Giulia is better then M3? I really don´t know, but how much time M3 is in development?
Great Alfa, great work to perform a passionate car that even after 20 years can compete with already adored M3 badge.
they made a manual!? praise be
david cunningham Hell yeah!👊😅
The front spoiler going down at 70 kph just in case👍🏽
edwin miranda Thanks Edwin!😃👍
Everyone talks about how Alfa is not perfect and it is flawed in some ways, well yes it is. But look at BMW for example, it does not have those flaws but still not perfect either. Maybe you do not get those squeaky dashboard, nor cheap plastics in some places, but you get a car that looks just good outside, also very cold looking inside compared to Alfa, and one of the most important things of all: you are a BMW driver, which in many parts of the world is not a very cool thing.
No car is perfect and at the end it all comes to personal preferences and which compromises you want to take so there is no right or wrong. And that is where 99% of ignorant press folks makes mistake when saying that Alfa is flawed compared to BMW, Mercedes, or even worse Audi. Yes it is, the same as any other car, it just depends of your point of reference.
Bojan Bojovic Yes, exactly. That’s what I’ve said in the video. “I don’t need a perfect car, I want a fun car” So that’s why I prefer this Alfa above the M3.
ugh, an actual manual transmission. So jealous
YES! FASTER & BETTER!
Government just has to ruin styling with a front license plate...
Nate Smith Haha, true!!😅
Clarkson tested the automatic, that has huge paddles just like a ferrari and turbo lag is not an issue, just like in a ferrari. In fact the engine is 100% ferrari, and the car was 100% developed by ferrari engineers. Thats why everyone except you says it feels like a four door ferrari. And probably this one doesnt because its a manual and ferraris are NOT.
q p Why did you go there?🤦♂️ I drive all these kind of cars on racetracks for work. And I don’t mean this filming stuff, this is just hobby. Or you believe me, or you believe “everyone”. Because “everyone” is always correct, right..? Ask Bill Gates, Michael Jordan, Mark Cuban, Richard Branson...
Ferrari also has Sunglasses and watches and t-shirts. They don’t feel like any Ferrari car at all. So not everything (even though it’s a car) that Ferrari touches actually feels like a real Ferrari car. Trust me, the Alfa does NOT feel like any Ferrari. Not in a million years.
PS. The most valuable Ferrari’s are manual.
I’m a racing driver, instructor and coach. You won’t believe how easy elderly ladies who want to get their racing licence drive in the latest automatic Ferrari’s, Lambo’s, Porsches etc. Everyone who gets in is directly fast. Only the last few seconds are difficult. Get in a 1970 sportscar, lets see who’s able to go around the track fast. I thought and hoped that racing or driving a car fast was a “big balls” and “hero’s” thing? But I guess you rather see automatics taking over? So fast driving becomes so easy, that it won’t be even special anymore. But hey...it’s all about how fast your automatic cab shift and you can just sit back, do nothing and enjoy. Dude, I really don’t see the fun in that. But hey, personal preference hey🙏
Well you are in minority my manual friend. Or you think Clarkson hasnt driven a ferrari ? Well I can assure you he had, probably many more than you, and so did all the others who claim its a 4 door ferrari. That doesnt mean it DRIVES like a mid engine ferrari, because it is not. Its a 4 door ferrari saloon. A saloon which is faster than the 430 Scuderia, and as fast as a F12 on the Ring, and that has over 700 hp. That means this 4 door ferrari has a much better chassis than a 2 door front engined ferrari, and also than the mid engine scuderia. It is almost as good as a 458, which is mid engined and has 70 hp more. But of course it doesnt drive like a 458, because it is a totally different car in concept. In the same way that a front engined ferrari doesnt drive like a mid engine ferrari. The 458 and F12 are totally different cars to drive, but they both FEEL like ferraris, because they are developed by ferrari. And so does the Giulia QV..
@@PureDriveTV If driving automatics is not a manly thing, and ladies are soo good at it, then how come there are no ladies in the F1 championship ?? In fact, why are men at all driving those pussymobiles ? Pussies, they dont know real men drive stick...flappy paddles are for pussies. So Schumacher is a pussy, Hakinnen pussy, Alonso pussy, Hamilton pussy, but you are a real man. I bet you could teach these F1 ladies how to drive properly.
@@PureDriveTV If you put it that way, why do you even need an engine ? Why just push a pedal and the car goes by itself ? Do it like the Flintstones, push it yourself...or are you not man enough ? What could be more brave, or more involving than that ? Feel the road...with your legs. Wilma will be impressed. Stone Age driving is for real real men.
alfa opera d'arte
That manual is not the best combination with the car. Giulia Q is best enjoyed with the automatic gearbox (ZF8).
Viilutaja Yeah, I hear that more often and I can only imagine that the car is quicker and has almost no turbo lag because of the 8 gears. But still I enjoy a manual in every car more than any automatic.
This isn’t the 2020 model, is it???the automatic gear is much better...and fast!!,
Best sedan around...and GTA will be a monster...soon!!!I have never seen a Quadrifoglio with engine problems!!!not by reviewers nor in the garage!!!
Titox Leaks You didn’t pay attention watching this video.🤨 I clearly said: “2016”😝😜🤪👊😁😉
Yeah, I’m sooo curious about the GTA. That will become a new standard in sedan sportscars.
Automatic gearbox is for many years “better” and faster. But for me way less fun. That’s a personal preference.
Well...here’s one which had problems.😁
And I had some people messaging me who own this car saying they had the same problem with the fuel pump. For the rest it looks like it’s quite reliable so far.👌
Just wish it had sunroof
Theres a reason why Ferrari dont do manual transmissions anymore. They are way slower and cant hide turbo lag like an automatic.
q p No, the reason is that most people don’t know how to drive properly. Of course all the automatic gearboxes are way faster since many years. But they are also way easier to drive. That’s the biggest reason why people buy them... Oh, and they are a little faster.
Faster is not always better. Think about quality time with your partner..
Ferrari and all the other brands have no choice but to cancel the manual, because most people choose the easy and safe way, the automatic...oh yeah, and it’s a little bit faster. Who cares about that difference?
If you’re into soccer, would you prefer to play it for real of on a Playstation pressing buttons?
What do you think is more exciting, the Mclaren F1 or the P1?
Let me tell you in this video why the manual gearbox is better (So NOT faster!😉): czcams.com/video/gz4smx6o2QA/video.html
So F1 drivers dont know how to drive properly ? Or Dtm, Le Mans etc. They dont drive stick cause they suck at it and dont have the balls. Not because stick sucks balls ...
@@PureDriveTV You know that guy who raced a carrera gt with that fast & furious actor and crashed it and burned in flames because he had the balls ? He was a professional driver, and now he is a dead pro driver. Thats what happens to brave men like you...you want full control until you loose control and crash... but you die like heroes...of the manual age. Because only heroes can take their hand off the wheel to push a stick in a supercar with no esp or traction control. I bet you think those are for pussies too...
I admit I dont know how to drive manual cars, in the same way I dont know how to jump from a moving train. But I dont want to either...I know, I know, it's much more fun than just siting in the train, and certainly more brave, but its also much more stupid and dangerous to do that.
@@PureDriveTV No, its because its slow, awkward, frustrating, unsafe, and obsolete, and nobody buys that crap anymore except professional masochists. I mean real men, who like being beaten with a stick.
Propsaft is also carbon fiber
Ville Kukkonen Yeah true! I forgot to mention one of the most important carbon fiber bits!🙈😄
Great effort from Alfa but if only it was a touch more reliable, I would have bought it over the M3. Love to see your review of a 991.2 manual GT3
VHILW Yes, can’t blame you! Can’t go wrong with the M3👌
Haha, reviewing the GT3 manual... I wish! Who knows I’ll be able to find one to film with this year.🙏 Can’t promise, but stay tuned!😁
In fact the M3 have big problems in the past with the crankshaft bearings and in the F80 generation have the crank hub problem who can destroy the entire engine... in the portuguese Alfa Romeo community has 3 Giulia Quadrifoglio's and the owners don't have any problems, one of them tuned the car to a stage 2 with 600bhp and do trackdays all the time, the car has 70 000km and runs absolutely fine...

@@PureDriveTV Hehehehe.... It's not you my friend, it's Alfa's fault.... :) :) :)
Seriously... who drives manual these days anyway?!?!? The days af stick shift are long gone! The autos are much faster than 5 or 10 years ago...
V12S65AMG haha, ok luckily!🙈😜
Yes, the autoshifts are way faster etc..already for more than 10 years.
But do you prever to text dirty with your girlfriend for 2 minutes or the real deal for 2 hours?
It’s not all about speed. I’d rather go from 0-100 km/h in 4 seconds where I have to do everything myself, than go from 0-100 in 3 sec where a computer does everything for me. Where’s the fun in that? More and more things are getting automated and the driver is not an important factor anymore. Try to go fast in a 1970’s sportscar. If you’re skilled enough, than that pleasure/satisfaction is way bigger than sitting in a Tesla and the only thing you do is hit the accelerator and you’re at 100 km/h in about 0,3 sec or whatever.. Where’s the human challenge?
IF you like soccer... Do you rather play it in real life or on a Playstation? There is no wrong answer here, because it’s always personal preference. But there should always be a choice. And it’s to bad that the manual is disappearing, because there are still enough petrolheads which prefer the manual.
I don’t want to make you throw up again...😅😜
But check my GT3 RS video where somewhere in the video I explain WHY a manual is BETTER (not faster) than a automated gearbox. BUT watch it only if you don’t feel like throwing up!🙏😁
Here’s the link. Even with a manual, I hope you’ll enjoy the video.

al Im Propaganda?? Really?😳🤣 The car broke down on me at the moment I did the review...while I was hoping it would all be fine. I know many people with this car and many had problems with it. That you have an Alfa and no problems in 3 years doesn’t mean that in general the car isn’t very good when it comes to quality. Look at and feel the dashboard materials...it’s crappy. Tell me it’s high quality..🤨 I love my M3. But when someone talks shit about it, I couldn’t care less. If somebody feels that the m3 is a shit car, than that is their right to feel that way. When you tell me what I can or can’t say, that is propaganda, amigo. I just said and showed the facts.

@@pachokardana6192 So first you're saying track times are objectively better for the BMW, then when I find evidence to the contrary, you just say everything that is a win for the Alfa, isn't actually. MT is biased, the Nurburgring test is biased, everything is biased against your favorite car. Whatever you say. You can essentially just make up your own world and just believe what you want at this point. When the Alfa wins: it's BS. When the M3 wins: it's the best.
Better & Unreliable
I love Alfa Romeo :>
Teodor Rares 😂🙈

Jeri dizel?
Faster, yes, better, by no means...
Dumsani simelane Well...it depends on what is better for you. I would say it’s a personal preference.
@@PureDriveTV well, i prefer not to begin to be technical, i prefer to remain as a layman and continue to say, the M3 is the better car than the Alfa, i chose not to spoil this by hinting that, this Alfa may not have much life to it, could be discontinued just like the 4c, this great epic car is not selling, go to the stats, they are literally stuck in the show room, the people that can afford them are continuing to test drive them and buy the German's..
This Alfa is stupid fast and sounds better than the M3 but the M3 is the better car, by all means, the reason they are not all over the roads is not because they are anything special, they are not selling, period.
Dumsani simelane For sure you could tell me some technical things which are indeed better. And in fact, I actually agree that the M3 is a “better” car. But I don’t agree with the majority that buys sports/supercars. Most people go for “easy”. And of course everyone, me included wants a technically good car. And a BMW is once again better when it comes to that. But “better” could mean something else to other people. If a car is crappy technically, but drives more fun, has more emotion etc..that could be “better” for someone. I’m that person....As a BMW M fan (and customer) I prefer this Alfa above a M3. But once again..that does not mean I need to convince people. I like it when people choose different cars, otherwise we would all drive in the same car.😁
Dumsani simelane What was it about driving the M3 that you preferred over driving the Alfa (steering, brakes, balance)?
@@PureDriveTV I somewhat agree with you, Infact, this Alfa has more of emotional appeal to it. The fact that the engine is Ferrari biased makes the average buyer feel somewhat special which was what made Maserati somewhat special at some point, but you can't deny the quality of the BMW and the resale value of the BMW over this Alfa which is what the potential client will look for first before the fun factor because truth be told, no one wants to keep these kind of cars forever, so when that time comes, you want a bit more money back into your pocket and I'm dead sure this Alfa cannot afford you that compared to the M3, so this means you buy with your head and not your emotions, I bet you many owners of the Alfa don't keep them as long so that depreciation does and resale does not hit them much..
M5 e28 and alpina b7 the best to drive
Eudald Guell Oh damn...those are great indeed!!🔥👌
@@PureDriveTV
And m635csi👍👍
No way. It is low quality vehicle, made in Italy😄
Looks like plastic.
John Vu It is...😅 BUT the owner has now changed most of those parts for carbon fiber parts. I’ve seen it and it looks very, VERY nice!🔥👌
Awesome cars but pure shite
The Alfa doesn’t want to be driven by an idiot😝 Why don’t you go and review a Dutch car..Wait a minute there aren’t any Dutch cars.
JOE Bozza In that case I should be glad I’m not Dutch..right?🙏😂 I’m lucky the Mclaren Senna, Porsche Carrera GT, Ferrari F12, GT2-RS, M3 etc are idiot proof and were all fine when I drove them😊👌
