Back Road Hero
United Kingdom
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 16 ส.ค. 2021
We all have a back road hero. That one vehicle that tempts us away from the highway onto the back roads. As well as being a 'content creator', I'm a true petrol head, petrol nerd, occasional racing driver, and Airline Captain. After family, my life revolves around meeting like minded people and restoring, driving, buying and selling cars. Life's too short to drive something boring.

Wow exactly what I am thinking atm with my Stelvio quad, although I got a 4yrs service package for £599, saved a fortune on that
Good info but please stop swallowing. Or maybe drop the audio when you do swallow. Not great to listen to! Appreciate the review though and look forward to the next one
Sorry about that
I'm currently driving a 2017 QV as my daily in Competizione Red, i would have done exactly the same as you and sacrificed a little bit of drama to get into one in green it's absolutely stunning. It will be the one to buy in years to come.
Thank you. My ‘17 was fantastic. This one is awesome in a slightly different way. Ed
Congratulations My Man, what a great car !
It’s just lovely. 😁
Hey Ed have you worked out how you're going to play the servicing situation going forward?
I’ll probably pay for the next service/oil change myself and then take out a two year plan to cover the big 4-year service. The 3 year is just too expensive. More in the next video. Just editing that now. Ed
@Back_Road_Hero Great - looking forward to that. I have my service on Saturday but have one more credit on a 3 year service plan that the previous owner ticked. Hopefully you have this on yours too. But yes already thinking of the 4 year big one...
No service plan on this one as it was an ex demo. Shame really.
@Back_Road_Hero Ah I see - but you have the carbon sparcos, can't have everything!
I test drove the Stelvio QV and fell in love 20,000kms later I still on my honey moon, that sound and that power never gets old.
A great choice. Ed
Brilliant video you should make these videos on other exotics with other owners like yourself. Thank you.
Thank you. Great suggestion. I could only go into this depth by really knowing the car over a few years. That being said I do an Real World Review on all the cars that I’ve owned. Ed
Forza Alfa Romeo 🇮🇹🍀🥰💓💯👍💪
Yes good plan.
I bought a 2022 Alfa Romeo Giulia Ti for $24,000 with 17,000 miles on it. It's an excellent vehicle. I've driven BMWs extensively over the years, and I must say the Giulia surpasses them in looks, drive quality, and technology. The cruise assist is especially something I can't live without now. Also Audio top tear
This is stunning Ed, really pleased for you! I was so tempted by one, but the service from my local Alfa dealer though is poor to say the least! Looks like you’ve got a great dealership near you. I just collected an M3 Touring last month with the carbon seats as well. Would be good to swap notes later down the line! 👍.
Best of luck with the M3. Service between Alfa dealerships seems to be variable at best. I’ve just been lucky so far but haven’t needed too much from them so far. Easy to walk in and buy a car. Regular servicing and the odd visit for fixes. I think the main reason I go there is that their chief tech really knows his stuff. Ed
@@Back_Road_Hero yep and to be honest it’s the same for BMW, I avoided my two local ones for the same reason. Thanks Ed, enjoy it! 👍
You are a legend. What a spec❤
Having the same issue recently. Need to get it checked out soon. It's just hard to get those parts in the state without going to a dealership
Are there not some specialists around? I know however that Alfas aren’t particularly well catered for over there. You could also swap out the relays from under the trunk cover. They’re the same. Ed
Cos Audis, Mercs and Beamers are cheap to run and wont ruin you, and with the Alfa you dont get German Car Driver Syndrome where you turn into an absolute c--t
Congratulations, I love it.
Thank you!
I am delighted it has come true for you.. a great choice, perhaps when all these new Alfas start to come to market like the new 2025 Alfetta coupe and sedan the dealership might let you do a 3 day demo on them, be the Alfa specialist like others do for specific brands.. 😊 it works well for Joe. ❤ with BMW
That’s the plan. I’m hoping to get my hands on a 2024 model and do a full comparison. Ed
Nice!
Useful video, thanks. I was dead-set on the RS 5 but the more I watch QV reviews the more it screams out...to get the QV. Candidly, I am a tad intimidated by the QV, so advanced driver training is a must, for me.
It’s not that intimidating. Just leave Race Mode for the pros. You’ll find the Audi dead in the front end by comparison. And that fuel economy!!!! Ed
A great review if you’re thinking of buying 👍 I bought the 5.0 Supercharged 2 years ago , amazing car , great fun to drive , the acceleration is amazing and frightening at the same time. Never a dull moment with this car.
Always an event. Enjoy. 😉
awesome video, this has most surely convinced me to buy a Gulia now, i have always loved Alfa having owned a 159 and now a Giulietta but to know that the costs are pretty much average for high performance car has most certainly gave me the answers i was looking for, keep on enjoying the car 🍀
Yes. It’s just a regular car. The labour rates at Alfa are certainly lower than BMW or Mercedes that’s for sure. Ed
Hi Ed, Can remember changing from my Buso engined 164 to the 2.2 156 when it first came out, it was a change from Alfa to Fiat quality control and there was a distinct change in character, the newer one was more civilised, I liked it but missed the wayward nature of the older model. It’s prob progress in their eyes but looses that edge that made it an animal. Thanks for the battery change vid too, I have got this wrong in the past with the one touch windows thang ha.
Sometimes we all like a bit of an attitude. As a daily driver it certainly has improved though. Ed
I live by 2 philospohies in life, and one is never buy an Italian car despite how beautiful they look. But nice video nontheless.
Nice watch, t-shirt and car colour combo, congratulations
Complimenti analisi oggettiva e giusta👍🍀⚪🔴.....P.S.una volta che la guidi non scenderesti piu'perche' è unica e da sensazioni uniche che le altre anche piu' recenti non riesconoi a darti
Congratulations Ed! Love the Montreal Verde 👌🏾
Appreciate it! Ed
Nice video. Beautiful car.
Thanks!
Beautiful car!!
Yes indeed! Ed
Great video. Really helpful
Glad it was helpful! Ed
Beautiful car, the interior is very nice. I have a 2019 stelvio qv and my next car will likely be a 2020+ model
You were definitely an important part, if not the main part, in me ordering a Super Sport in late February this year! One of two coming to Sweden. Have never driven a qv, not seen one. But I am confident it will serve me fine as my final company car! Many thanks for your splendid work!
Glad I could help! You’ll love it. Go make some memories. Ed
Hahaha there is no way you are selling it without another one on order. I think I actually love mine like I love my wife and dogs lol
Yes but you’ve already seen the new car video? 😂😂
great deal! I just got the 2024 Guilia Veloce MSRP $55K and because of 4800 miles being their loaner car, they knocked it down to $41K. was a win win for me. when/if the right Quad hits the depreciation mark I like, I will be upgrading if the Veloce pleases!
Thanks Ed, I tend to keep the battery topped up with an intelligent battery charger although stop / start rarely works for very long and I know a lot of owners have it disabled. I was sure you fitted an AGM one in an earlier video. I need one of those T shirts though 😊🍀💯🇮🇹🏁
Yes I still have the AGM for obvious reasons. backroadhero.myspreadshop.co.uk/create?productType=977&mode=edit&appearance=476&sellable=m4kbvqYpE0HRaeQ101Nq-977-7&idea=6256e0bbd42417007126b70f
I want one, had my eyes on it for 5years, then went Porsche but now I’m going Alfa for my first time
great vid as usual :) exhaust is a bit of disappointment because of the GPF do you reckon the 2020 has a better exhaust note?
Far from it. The 2020+ is muted by comparison but I’ve a valve controller inbound. Ed
@@Back_Road_Hero maybe an aftermarket exhaust will help
Problem is that there only seems to be systems for the pre 2019 cars and they’re expensive.
@@Back_Road_Hero so no option to make it sound as pre-2019? :(
Not really. As far as I know.
Super thanks! This was so helpful. I was shocked by the resetting procedure I actually thought u needed to plugin some ODB thingy to reset the car!😂
That’s the reason I make these. Easy DIY fixes. Thank you. Ed
For not loosing any "programming" I've heard that you could have used a back up-battery on the poles in the engine compartment. Of course you must have isolated the positiv conections in the rear while dying the change-job .... Thoughts on this ... ?
It’s an added level of complexity that’s not really needed in the end. My car retained all settings. Ed
Thats a very clever neg terminal! Progress eh…!
Very informative video. Thanks ❤
Glad it was helpful!
Nice video but on my QV that 10mm bolt was not a long bolt. It was at the bottom of the battery. I couldn’t get that nut off and get the battery out. Dealer replaced it under warranty.
Did you not have a dark blue one before? That was also a stunning colour! Why did you buy another one?
Sure did. A 2017. This is 6 years newer and an ex demo. Just fancied a change with the 2020+ upgrades, colour, and spec. Ed
@@Back_Road_Hero cool. I have a 2020 misano blue quad. Fantastic car!
Thanks
Makes me think I should hang on to my 2018 GQV. I like that it’s slightly less refined overall.
I was frankly quite taken aback by the changes. Ed
Good first video for this new GQV. The verde, buckets and exposed cf roof are to die for! I just ordered mine in May without any options (couldnt afford any) and lookong forward for mine to come eta October. In the meantime will make do with watching your videos while green with envy 😉🍀
I think it’s the 21st video I’ve made on the QV. This is my second one. Check out all the other videos on the playlist. Ed
