- I fell in love with this car over a year ago but it was beyond my reach at the time. As an ex-demo however it's a completely different story. Welcome to my second Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio.

No, Giulia (Type 952) continues into next year. Sales now ended only for North America. Anyway congrats and kudos to Unity and you disclosing the sponsorship! P.S. You have the real Verde Montreal tricoat 646, not the new pretend Montreal metallic 398 in the market since c.April 2024.
Thanks for the clarification. I’ve pinned this post so others can read it. Yes it’s the full tri coat and just gorgeous. It had to be this colour for me. Ed
@@Back_Road_Hero nice shirt too 🤪
Is 398 the Verde Fangio? If yes it's market specific. I can't get that in Singapore. Only the Montreal
I didn't know there was a different Verde Montreal colour since April 2024, thank you for the info. Is there a noticeable difference between 646 coat and 398? I am in the market for the green Giulia Quadrifoglio and if it comes to Verde Montreal, in flesh I have only seen Alfa Romeo Tonale in this colour. I don't know what model year it was, but the colour looked stunning.
@@rcglitch1467 well, the new Giulia green is the same as the Tonale's. If you like it already, you won't have a problem! But the tri-coat was a Quadrifoglio exclusive and the same used on the GTA. For a comparison, look at Ron's Rides video reviews.
The kind of car when walking away, you always look back , beautiful.
You and me both.
Congrats Ed! Happy to see you are back in a QV, especially the Verde Montreal colour - we are now matching! Your videos motivated me to purchase mine almost 2 years ago, never looked back. And you are absolutely right, the QVs ruined all other cars for us.
I’m so glad that I managed to help in some small way. Ed
What a glorious Alfa, health to enjoy, as they say here!
Thank you. 🙏
Congratulations!
The Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio is my dream car. The best sport saloon on the market.
Couldn't agree more! Ed
The best sports sedan is M5cs!
But this one is really good.
@@vlachyna M5 is not the same segment.
...And if by best, you don't mean the fastest, because the M5 isn't (only at some drag times) ...and if segment is not important, I would personally go for a Continental, a GTC4Lusso or a Rapide for the role. ...or even a more exclusive Quattroporte trofeo if 4 doors are a must.
Also double the cost but not double the car.
Everytime you get to drive your qv its a special feeling 💥
Sure is. 🙏🍀❤️
Good far you, very happy for you. We only live once, so live your life too the best of your capabilities, beautiful car, think I’ll be doing the same next year with my 2018 giulia qv
Don’t be too hasty. Not everything has improved, but I’ll get onto that in future videos. Ed
I'm Green with envy... Keep 'er lit.....
Thanks. You only live once. Ed
Congrats my guy! Enjoy it! Looking forward to the future content.
Hoping to do lots more. It has to help pay for itself. Ed
Great news Ed, I was worried we’d lost you to some soulless brand and here you are in your new Alfa Romeo 🥰🍀
As I said, it has ruined me for anything else. Ed
@@Back_Road_Hero I couldn’t bring myself to part with my Giulietta QV manual either, not quite the same dynamic car I know but still a beautiful Alfa Romeo.
Your t-shirt matches exactly the colour of your Alfa.
Enjoy this lovely looking car 😀
It does! 😁
Best spec with best color! Congrats!
That's what I'm talking about!!! I knew you wouldn't let us down. Great choice, excellent video❤
Thanks again! Ed
Couldn't be more pleased for you Ed and looking forward to future videos. I've just done another trip to Italy in mine - 3250 miles and I smiled through every one of them. 🍀💯🇮🇹🏁
Hopefully I’ll get to go there in mine as well. Ed
Glad you ended back up in the best car Alfa made in recent times.
Massive congrats Ed-I am so happy for you. You get to continue the Quad love affair with such a stunner, that tricoat Montreal Verde with all that lovely carbon. That is the spec I would choose. Looking forward to future content/videos. I think the sponsorship is a bravo idea as well-why not give credit to legit businesses that provide first rate service. I will say you are the perfect owner for this lovely car and well deserved it is. Enjoy in good health-cheers
Thank you so much. That’s very kind of you to say. I’m touched. 🙏🍀❤️
Congrats Ed. Your real world content is the reason I just bought a low mileage MY21 QV here in Oz myself. I’ve bought you a coffee but if I’m ever up your way I’ll buy you a beer🍻
Thank you so much Geoff. You’re very kind. I’d no idea that my videos on the QV would be so popular. I’m merely sharing my car journeys with everyone. My job might take me to Sydney in the future so maybe a beer there if you’re in the area? (I know Oz is a big place 😂😂) Ed
@@Back_Road_Hero Hi Ed, I'm Sydney based & would be happy to share a cold refreshing ale. I wonder if you had the opportunity to check this weekends activity at Silverstone?
Also, in one of your previous videos you talked about a hand held device that allowed you to open the exhaust valves irrespective of whether you were in D or N mode, would you be able to advise details thereof? Many thanks.🙏
A great win for Lewis. 🇬🇧
It was a company in the UK called AHM Performance. You should be able to find them on Google. AHM exhaust controller
That green with the sparco seat and carbon hood is a smashing spec.. subbed for the future content
When the opportunity arose I had to jump at the chance. Ed
🫡🫡😎😎😍😍 looking forward to your update videos over time.
I’ll just keep doing my thing. 👍
Absolutely beautiful, many congratulations!!!!
Looking forward to the adventures of the green monster !!
👏👏👏👏👏👏
I certainly plan to do a bit of touring in this one.
Congratulations, lovely colour. Looking forward to the new and continued content 👍😎
Thank you! Will do!
Love it! Great aquisition BRH! Am so envious. Enjoy Alfa bro!
Thanks! Will do! Ed
Awesome pick up. Sparcos too! I tried hard to find Verde Montreal but I also wanted a 2024 and Verde Fangio just wasn't the same. Ended up going Misano Blue! Glad you stayed I the Alfa Family!
I’m just hearing now that Fangio is the ‘fake Montreal Verde’. It’s not a tri coat I believe so doesn’t have the same ‘pop’. I do like the QV in both blues as well. Ed
Congrats Ed! Beautiful spec with the Montreal green. I have a 19 plate Veloce in Alfa Red - more than enough car for me. Always love seeing quads out and about!
Thank you.
Congrats Ed on the new beauty, that colour is just gorgeous. All the best.
Thank you kindly 🙏 Ed
Fantastic and amazing colour 👌🏻
What a fantastic car, in the best colour good for you Ed
Couldn't agree more! Thank you.
I’m so pleased you have got that car! I love the colour. You may have just stopped me making a terrible mistake. I love the Bentley GT but I’m scared about the maintenance costs. I’m looking for something, my last ever car purchase, that’ll give me that zing! Never once considered an Alfa but now I will. I’m ex pilot (soon to click over into a decade beginning with a 7) from way back (first solo in a Piper Cub) then continued training on the Tiger Moths. Ended up flying more than 100 types in all sorts of situations. That’s given me the passion I have. Love your car! Thank you….. John
Hi John. It’s not an ultimate luxury car but they’ve spent the money where it counts. Engine and chassis. If you see carbon fibre anywhere on this car then it’s the real stuff and not fake. What it does have is ‘soul’ and like you I want to buy something now to keep. Ed
I am so happy for you mate🎉. Hopefully in the near future when I buy my Giulia qv I can come and meet you and we can go for a drive😊
Sounds good! Are you local to Oxfordshire? Ed
Well done Ed!!! T shirt gave it away stunning car!!!!!
Strange but my wife bought me this before I knew the car was for sale. Matches perfectly. I call it fate. 😁🍀
A nice "surprise" indeed! Perhaps you haven't gone mad after all? One has to see Montreal Verde in the metal to appreciate how lovely it is. Not quite enough to sway me from Etna Rosso but close.
First time I saw it I was in love with the colour. Matches the green Quadrifoglio badges and the snake in the logo perfectly. Better in person than on TV I have to say. Ed
Congratulations! This is Awesome!
Thank you!!
Excellent news, congratulations 🎉. I’m looking at the QV Giulia or Stelio and love the green. Currently in a red Giulia Veloice with tan interior and love that. Enjoy.
Very nice! Ed
This is the green cousin to my Rosso GTA. The Rosso GTA and Montreal Verde are the two best colours of these cars in my opinion. If I was to buy another it would be in this colour. Similar story to my car, mine sat in the showroom for about 8 months, but I picked mine up with only 70 km and a big discount.
Patience is a virtue. But also I couldn’t afford it so that made the decision an easy one. 😂😂👍🍀
Another Giulia QV. Yours is a beautiful addiction, congratulations. As beautiful as that green Montreal, I think there is only the city it takes its name from. Sooner or later we too will get a Giulia here, not the QV unfortunately, but I would certainly settle for a blue 210 HP diesel with tobacco interior. Here in Italy there are exaggerated taxes for cars over 250 HP and fuel is very expensive, I think the annual ownership tax alone for a QV is around €5000-6000.
Enjoy it for us too Ed
Thank you very much!
my best wishes for nice drives!!! I am the owner of a 2.2 diesel, but the QV is in a league of it's own....the best sports saloon in the world by far, really far far away....!
The chassis is almost the same for them all and handle almost the same. They’re all great drives no matter the engine. Ed
Best spec, congrats, im jealous❤
Tons of love!! Congrats 🫶🏼🍀
Thank you. 🙏 Ed
I would do the same if I could. Thank you for buying Alfa.
I have liked and subscribed not because this is the sort of car I would buy, I have a Genesis Electrified G80 coincidentally also around £85k when I bought it virtually two years ago, and apart from being a four door saloon it's completely different in that it's an EV luxury saloon trying to offer the refinement of a Rolls Royce with looks a bit like a Bentley. When I first saw the car I was as smitten as you with the Alfa, and to me the Genesis is the best car ive owned and thats coming from a Maserati Ghibli albeit diesel but an excellent car that i owned for seven years from new, and prior to that twenty years of various Jaguars.
Whilst very different requirements in what we want from a car, I certainly recognise the genuine pleasure in getting what is your dream car.
I hope you have many years of happy ownership, and I look forward to your next videos!
Thank you. It’s a passion that we all share. I love that every person has that perfect car for themselves. New car days are always exciting. I just hope that this one lives up to my expectations. Ed
Wow; congrat's, man! I'm SO glad for you; that's a Dreams-car for e to.
I certainly will follow up on you future reports about this masterpiece of a car ... !
❤
I just got lucky. And a lot of hard work I suppose as well. 😉😁🍀🍀
Top man 👍
Wishing you many happy miles in your new Alfa.
Thank you. 🙏
I have nearly the same spec. Only i have Akrapovic exhaust instead sparco seats. Best car i ever drive. :)
I might look into an aftermarket exhaust as this one is a little quiet for my liking. Ed
Congratulations. Lovely car and colour. Forza Alfa 🍀
Thank you! 👍
Congrats on the new Julia, she's just gorgeous! When you first announced that you were selling the old Julia and, since you did not need another daily, you might get a 4C for the weekends. But I guess it's hard to trade a V6 for a 4-cylinder. Enjoy the new Bella!
Thanks. I’ve always considered a 4C but they really lack the punch of the Giulia. Great looking car though but also a bit noisy for long trips. Ed
Congrats mate, looks fantastic!
Thank you! Ed
Beautiful 🍀 I’d be interested to know what the real life difference between the 2017 and 2022 models is.
Future video. Not everything has improved. Ed
Congratulations on your new quad, it really looks spectacular & looking forward to many more videos on this incredible machine, just picked up my giulia veloce ti in racing red & absolutely love it !! Maybe a quad in the future! !
They’re great handling cars. You’ll love yours. Nothing looks just as good on the road.
@@Back_Road_Hero you are so right, I could place a chair on my drive & just admire it for hours ! Styled by someone with thoughts of a beautiful naked lady !!
Congrats. What a stunning green color. Thanks for sharing your love affair with alfa 😅
It really is lovely. Thank you. 🙏
@@Back_Road_Hero i love to own afa red or green in sometime next year. I just cant appreciate how beautiful it looks when i had a chance to sit inside.
perfect no digital gauge cluster
but the updated interior
Just Like mine. mine lacks only the Carbon Roof the Color (have Alfa Rosso ) and the Seats But I prefer heated seats :D
Beautiful car Keep it up.
I thought I’d try the seats in this one however the Sparcos suit the nature of the earlier car better. I’ll explain more in my future videos.
Knew it 💯😂 🍀🍀🍀🍀 Forever 💪🏼
Sorry for messing with ya! 😜😂😂🍀🍀
Great choice enjoy your new car ed
Thanks! Will do!
Gorgeous! Let me know when you've finished with it 👍
Hopefully I won’t any time soon. 😁
The Alfavirus ruins nobody :) Enjoy your second Quad, i'm not parting with my 19 Giulia Quad in Rossso Comp and all the carbon goodies :)
I sold my ‘19 for a ‘23. MY 2019 was the sweet spot for handling/features. You’re right to wanna hang on to yours.
2019 could be a sweet spot for the model. No Verde though and it was this colour that I wanted as a keeper. 👍
@@Back_Road_Hero totally understand; I adore your spec. Verde is my favorite color; I got mine in Rosso Etna bc it was the only one I could find with low miles at a fair price.
Congrats sir, im looking for same spec as you just got! But its extremly hard to find it in Poland and i also cant afford a new one. For now im driving 2022 full black Giulia Veloce and overall im happy with the car.
Enjoy and thank you for your videos :D
Be patient and the car will find you just as it has done with me. Knowing it existed in my perfect spec was the reason I had to jump at the chance. Ed
Beautiful colour fantastic car, how I wish I could afford one.
It really is! Ed
Beautiful in that colour 😍 ❤️
It’s even better in person. It’s the full tri coat green. I just had to do it!! 🍀🍀
Great choice!
I personal prefer the other color, but it was a great opportunity not to miss!
...and these cars are going to be very hard to get in the future with everybody going EV.
EV Alfa Romeos wouldn't be much more than the badge and aesthetical details.
Totally agree.
Yeh, well done you. Fab news and an amazing car. 👍
Thanks 👍
Amazing! 🎉
Thanks! 😄
What a beauty 😍
Thank you. 🙏
I’ve called Unity three times for prices for annual
service to my quad each time they say we’ll call back with price and never have done..
That’s so disappointing to hear. I’ll mention it next time I’m in contact. Ed
Typical Alfa dealership I’m afraid my experience recently in purchasing my new QV wasn’t exactly hassle free or indeed memorable & I bought mine from Thames who are meant to be one of the best 😢
Did He said monte Carlo Green????I only know there was a Monte Carlo Blue on the QV earlier models...now there are 2 greens which are Verde Montreal and Verde Fangio Paint
Yes I probably did. My last one was Montecarlo Blue. This of course is Montreal Verde. 😁. Sometimes I can’t speak and talk at the same time. Ed
Montreal verde. Absolutely beautiful. You are right to believe in fate.
I believe in fate, hard work and karma. 👍🍀
Lucky boy😊
Sure am. Some luck and a lot of hard work to get where I am today. 🙏👍
Lovely I just took delivery yesterday of an my23 model registered only end of May with 30 miles on clock it’s got ackro & red calipers Vulcano black hope you enjoy your new purchase this is also my second Quad & I’m like a dog with 2 dicks 😂
They’re a little addictive. 🍀😜
No, we specifically discussed a GTAm.
Go back to the dealership...
But out of my price range. 😂😂
I knew you would...I just knew it !
Just having a little fun with you all. 😁😂
I thought you would be minted as an airline pilot
It’s all about living. I’d prefer not to stretch the family finances on a car. Holidays and travel are important as well. 😉👍
fab
60k isn’t a bargain when it’s worth half that in a few years .
To get the one you want? All modern cars depreciate. I’m prepared for that.
@@Back_Road_Hero yes some more than others thro . 20-30k in depreciation is absolutely shocking for only a few years of ownership .
I lost £17k in 4 years on the last one. And if I’d sold it privately that would have been about £12k. Unfortunately I couldn’t hang about as the green one would have sold quickly. Ed
It's only money; enjoy life. No point being the richest man in the graveyard when your time comes.
I don’t know about the specific UK market, but in general these hardly depriciate at all compared to any other Alfa. A good one starts at 50k €!
I thought they are only discontinuing them in North America first, it's in Europe and world wide as well? The year they just did a facelift? 😢
That’s what I believe but I’m open to correction.
If they are releasing the limited edition in the UK then I believe you're right. It's such a surprise move though. I was "forced" to pick up a 2024 before they are all gone.
Matching green shirt is a nice touch 👍.
Congrats on the new QV, join the Alfa owners club and we might see you at National Alfa day in August 👍
I can’t get the time off unfortunately. I’ll keep trying though. Ed
Great video , I’m looking to get my first quad very soon , saw a montecarlo blue advertised - I’m still unsure of the colour though haven’t seen it in person due to distance
It’s a rare colour and pops in the sun.
@@Back_Road_Hero thanks Will definitely give it a look then, v jealous of your new green one - stunning
Funny as (f).
?
@@Back_Road_Hero You teased with the selling of the Alfa only to have another one in the pipeline.... funny.
@@Back_Road_Hero You need to let us know how the seats compare.
That’s the plan. I’ve already shot the first half on the comfort seats in my old one.
Beautiful car, but doubtful reliability. Italian cars are never known for their reliability. Just like the Saab cars, they look quirky and beautiful , but the worst car to own because of reliability issues.
How many have you owned? Ed
@@Back_Road_Hero it is known fact that Italian cars are not known for their reliability. Maybe the new Alfa Romeo’s have corrected their problems with reliability. Ask any car owners who have had Alfa’s , especially the older ones, majority of them have claimed that their Italian cars have spent more time in the shop than on the road being driven.
They are beautiful cars to drive, but have been historically plagued with reliability issues. Maybe the latest models have corrected those issues. But getting servicing parts for them when needed, especially in North America will probably not be cheap.
It’s a very sweeping statement that you make without first hand experience. My Alfas have been no more unreliable than my German or British ones over the years. The Japanese might have an edge though. If you don’t take the odd risk in life then it can be a little dull. I prefer to treat every day as it’s my last.
@@Back_Road_Hero definitely see your point. Same thing for die hard Range Rover or jaguar owners , why do they love their cars so much even though it probably spends more time in the shop than driving it? Because it’s a Range Rover or it’s a jaguar. For these folks , same reason as yours , they would rather enjoy the opportunity to drive something “special” than to drive a Japanese car just for reliability reasons.
The Alfa Romeo G definitely is a one of a kind super sports car that will put a smile on your face driving it , even if it does turn out to potentially have mechanical/electrical reliability problems.
Love it! Cant wait to see more content of it!! Congrats man!!!
Appreciate it!! Ed
