The Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio is the best sports sedan out there

- You could buy the BMW, and be boring. You could buy the Mercedes-Benz, and be smugly content. You could be the Audi, and play it safe. You could buy the Lexus, and be comfortable enough. Or... you could buy the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio, and be a hero.
If you make the heroes choice, you now have 505 horsepower at your disposal thanks to a Ferrari-derived 2.9-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine. It works magic to the rear end through an eight-speed gearbox.
On the outside, you have a muscular and mean machine with a perfectly poised stance. Inside, the Alfa gets down to business with its thin-rimmed suede and leather steering wheel and massive paddles to control the transmission. The seats are excellent, which is good because you're going to want to fling this four-door beast through the corners.
It's not cheap. It's definitely not perfect (keep your warranty information handy). But it is the most thrilling machine in its segment.

I have to confess, this Giulia is simple the best sedan sport car i have driving!! The look, steering, perfect sound and motor!! Unic
Two of the best things to come out of Italy at the moment the Giulia Q.V. and Ducati V4 panigale. Forget about super cars.
Should there ever be an Italian villainness in a movie, this QV has to be her car of choice.
Good review, but disagree on faults - 1 year in, 15,000 miles and no faults. I have had fast Porsches, Jags, Audi’s and BMWs but this is just so much more. Buy one if you can ; )
Gary Smith more packaged, elegant, balanced, reliable then a properly spec’d Porsche? I don’t think so Sir. Please try again.
@@michaelguyadeen4492 Porche is elegant LOL
@@veljkoxxx Well two each their own I suppose :) and it's Porsche, not Porche.
Gary Smith totally agree. My experience also.
This is the number one car I want to buy right now.
It's more fun than anything out there. Had mine over 2 years. Get one!
Great review. I’ve had mine for 9 months and no issues, no warning lights....just pure driving enjoyment. Best car I’ve ever owned.
How has it behaved?
Well, I did have a problem with Forward Collision Warning which eventually was traced back to the electrical harness….and fixed. Apart from that I still cannot imagine driving anything else. Four years now and counting.
@@zzsimoniuszz thank you for coming back for an update. Happy motoring :)
I hope my future husband feels this way about me...the way he feels about this car 😂
3:09 - Cheers to you on the history of Alfa. I'm a Dodge Charger SRT guy, which you also reviewed btw. I'm now tempted by the GQ in that Monaco Blue...
I’ve watched 30 reviews on this car, and this is the best one!
I just bought mine and I love when people look at it and you can tell they dont know what it is but they know its special.
Hey, maybe a little late with the review but I liked your honest hands on approach. I traded my C63 in for this and have had it for almost a year, I love. It's Italian, it tries to kill you in a good way. I can because I have an M3 and a C63 and this is by far the best drivers car I have driven. The breaking is not a real issue within a few days you get use to it. The warning lights is all parr of the Alfa thing but again it's not lot me down so far. As for attention this thing gets it never ceases to amaze me, it's loved. Great review. 👍
"braking"......
I drove the simple mans Giulia last year, the Q4 and loved it. To me the Giulia is the new mid size Sedan benchmark Dynamicly. Awesome review man..got to love those Subtle jokes... forgive my random capitalization.
You make solid honest reviews. I cuss and most people cuss but to hear it in a car review like this just detracts from it. -Word Police
Simply the best. Better than all the rest......but wish it could be had with a good manual transmission option
Blake Swan it exists with manual but apparently not as good as the AT8
What an entertaining and cool review. If you have driven this car you "get it" its elite. Italians make cars with passion and soul and you feel it when you drive it. CIAO!!
The more you know..... Fade. Nice Jeff. Loved it. Love the channel and I'm gonna say it again your my favorite on Truck Central. Keep up the great work my man. 👍👍👍👍👍
This dude is dope. Reviews never fail me.
mrpmj00 I like it.
I think he is funny. You must look past.
you never disappoint my dude!
keep doing what you do!
best car channel
very underrated
i never miss a video
Great review, one of the best actually for Giulia Quadrifoglio.
All the carbon bits you mentioned should be standard (exc. carbon trimmed steering wheel, carbon seats and carbon-ceramic breaks), but the spoiler and the lip and the inside carbon trim- that is all in standard. At least here in EU. And the main thing with this car is, it maybe expensive as standard but you already get 80% of the stuff, all other 20% you can add as extra are more of a gimmick stuff you really don't need (exc. the steering wheel with carbon trim! :D ). But if you go for the base M3 or S63 or RS4 ... german cars base trim is shit to be honest, you want to add extra bits and packages and competition packs and what not (and those manufactures know it and are capitalizing on that) . Add all those extra bits and then suddenly you are 4-5k over the base Giulia price and still not that cool or fast...
Most of the electronic quibbles that those early Giulia Quadrifoglios had- were solved simply with a system update, so no big deal. And 2017 year Quadrifoglio model owners can upgrade their entertainment system totally free to have the Apple Car Play or Android Auto, so you are not left out.
Can't wait to grab one of these in next few years from used car market. Almost fully loaded ones are already on sale with 63000euros (72500 USD) in EU used car market place with very low mileage on them.
Another thing is that I would get the automatic gearbox, it is so good in Giulia. I have driven both gearbox versions in Giulia- manual and automatic. Automatic feels so much better on this car somehow... maybe because the manual was not good from the first place. So people in the land of the brave and free... you should not feel like you are missing out- that manual is so much worse than automatic! :)

Dude you should be doing videos more often to me you’re the best keep up dude
Just watched the latest Truck Central video and I love this Alfa so Damn much. The Stelvio Quadrifoglio is amazing too. Damn you gotta love it.
Legit the first one here.
YES THE ALFA.
And I love your reviews dude
haha, you really are the first one here. So... should we hold hands or do I buy you coffee first?
The Hooniverse let the coffee go warm 😏
This QV or any of the other competition though?
Toss up between the C63 and this for me.
C63 is really really good... but I like the fact that if you buy the QF, you're far less likely to run into another one out on the road. That plays a factor for me personally.
The Hooniverse true too many AMG line crap these days. Dulled the look of what AMG was.
And the Alfas got that Italian character with it that makes you really want it. Like sell your unwanted organs and family members for one want.
Great review man! Keep doin what ur doin!
What am amazing machine....i would choose this car over am m4 with my close eyes
nah fam i'll accidentally end up with a fiat with my eyes closed
Good review. I love my Quad Verde. However its funny I have never seen a single engine or warning light to this day. No issues ro whatsoever. The acceleration is really exhilarating. The handling is almost porsche-esque. Love this car. I however do not agree on two points. My gas mileage is amazing. Im easily getting 32 mpg on highway and 15.5 in the town. The leg room in the back is amazing and a very tall person can sit in the back with room to spare.
Bought the 280hp 2017 Alfa Sport and after 11k miles am very very happy. Auto stop start malfunctioned for 200 miles then corrected itself otherwise perfect. The lighting quick steering and suspension and ZF automatic are sensational!
The Alfa Romeo Giulia is king!!!
Awesome review 👍. Loved the history behind the clover.
im irish . not sure if you know this about the four leaf clover. it normally grows with only 3 leafs but like 1 in a million of those grow with 4 leafs and legend goes if you find a 4 leaf one. you will have good luck for the rest of your life. that fella must have known about this when putting it on the car. i thought only irish people would know this. maybe, maybe not. not sure...
TangleTwister Actually the 4 leaves thing you talking about is very popular in Italy (at least in northern Italy) and through great part of Europe. Seeking for 4 leaves clover (quadrifoglio) instead of the 3 one (trifoglio) it's something I remember doing when I was a kid. So it's exactly as you're saying. Don't know if this thing originated from Ireland But it surely has quite ancient origins.
@@pdecu69 didn't know that, thought it was just an irish thing... my science teacher in school, =-(mr mcelwee)=-D had one, he inherited it...
Love your review of the epic Alfa Quadrifoglio....love this car.
Que decir de Alfa Romeo que no sepamos los que nos gusta el motor y estamos puestos en el mundillo, aunque por lo visto hay mucho profano que le gusta hablar de oidas y poner a parir a la marca sin tener ni idea, sin haber tenido uno o ni siquiera a ver probado alguno. Las malas lenguas.... Yo he tenido un 33, un 75, un 156, un Giulietta QV y ahora tengo este Giulia en la versión QV y sin duda el que ha cumplido todas mis expectativas. El coche es sencillamente increible, nunca habia probado un coche con una dirección tan directa y lo que vale para la direción, vale para todo el comportamiento en general, agarre y aplomo, pero es que ademas es una autentica bestia. Un pedazo de Alfa Romeo. Con este me sobra el trio Aleman, asi de sencillo. En diseño les pasa el trapo. Ademas a mi personalmente me sobran las pantallitas y tanta tablet, este es analogico y deportivo, como le caracteriza a todo un Alfa. Saludos.
Just bought one because of all the great reviews. I’m not so worried about a false idiot light on occasion. It’s about the drive 😝
You said suede seats. Thank you. I'm over this alcantera business. Great review, man. I like your delivery style.
3:06 "Let's stop and let traffic get a little bit ahead of us" Said no one ever in an Alfa Giula QV lol
*really liked this! Great video!*
I have this car in my collection and of my c7z,gt350, McLaren project alpha, this by far is the first car I do not want to modify. They have done excellent with this car!
Thanks for the story behind the Quadrafolio. You should change your background Muzak though 😉.
Great review Forza Alfa Romeo!!!
Why the hell haven't I subscribe earlier!?!?!?! A lot of bullshitters out there, but not this guy! This guy is flawless!!! Keep it up man!
2nd time watching this vid, raised my testosterone. Have been missing something, and know I have found it. The Giulia. Thank you for this video.
wish it came with awd rear bias
As soon as they release the coupe version I'll be in the queue.... that should also give me some time to reduce the negative equity on ma M2 haha!
Sadly, it seems now that it will be a BMW i4 rival :(
yes, cars produced after september 2017 got the updated infotaiment with android auto and apple car play
EPIC MOMENT 02:02 ".....sports sedan for those who don't want to be sheep....." This guy has read my comments on BMW Fanboy videos where I rip them apart ....
FORZA ALFA BABY.....
Best review yet Jeff!
You sound like me coming off of strep/tonsil infection trying to order McDonald's lol. Great review, I've been waiting forever for your take on it!
I just have a shitty septum/nasal space... sometimes it’s not bad other times I sound like my nose is sealed off
The vibration I get that on the M2 too, it'll be warped discs or pad deposits probably.
This car is pretty awesome!
Hey Jeff would you take the Alfa or a Kia Stinger GT AWD????? Have you driven the stinger yet????? Just curious if what you think of both.
Three Stinger videos on this channel. Big fan of that one. Hard to compare the two, honestly due to the different price segments. The Kia punches way above its weight though...
The Hooniverse I agree. Yeah I didn't have the channel loaded just a recommended play list. I watched them. Love both cars but if I had the $ I'd have to go with the Alpha.
Brake are not weird o other (I watching many review and people talk about brake system) It's only feeling (after 2-3 hour you have no problems).
Alfa Romeo Giulia qv !!!!!!!!!!
This makes me want a M3 even more tbh
Nice sedan that I believe is more entertaining than what used to be the best in the market segment..BMW m3
I’ll be stalking the QV in a couple of years with hopes of acquiring one once depreciation rears it’s ugly head. Quirks and all this is a beautiful beast....
415 miles on the clock and electronic throttle control engine light came on, 200 miles from home. 2018 Quad. Still does 130 in limp mode despite losing DNA, but I'm not impressed that my supercar shit the bed after only 415 miles. And yes, all software updates were done prior to delivery. Grrr
My wife has the 2017 Ti Sport Q4 with almost 6k miles and it's been flawless. So there's my 2 cents.
Like this guy, has pair on him.
He said “you give it the D”
Love it!!!!!!
What's with the baby seat??
I concur, good sir.
Every drift-y car with paddles should put them on the column. Downshifting while sideways in oppo with wheel-mounted paddles is like randomly grabbing someone's privates in a darkened theater; hoping you get a hot chick instead of some grandma(or dude).
*"Give it 'The D""!*
True story for the paddle shifters, these on my Stelvio are so easy to shift any way the wheel is turned, try that on the any wheel mounted shifters...
Do the lights always blink like that?
It's an effect due to the camera used: if you see it in the real world lights don't blink.
As an owner of a Quadrifoglio, yes she has her issues, but I wouldn't trade her for anything else.
Which Quadrifoglio and what issues?
@@nessuno5403 This was a 2017 AR Giulia Quadrifoglio. There were numerous misfire issues and the engine was replaced three separate times. You can find the detains here:

@@tonymireles7413 thanks Tony... ah, the dreaded first production models. Glad you've kept faith.
Looks like HWY 33 in Ojai
It's Ortega
Featuring a baby car seat in the back
Great review! Love mine, separate yourself from the pack of sheep!
Change the pads to hawks and it will fix the brake feel issue. Alfa use the Maserati Ghibli brake system and is not suitable for this car. Alfa forums will tell you.
I have that shirt
Me too!
A+++++
Great review but so hard to take your tough-guy schtick seriously with the baby-seat in the back.
Tough guy schtick?! What the hell are you taking about? Also tough guys can’t share their love of fun cars with their children?
I assure you, there’s no tough guy attitude here... I’ve never had anyone assume such either. You’re literally the first.
Didn't mean to trigger you, just some light ribbing about the baby seat. :)
urgetodrive TRIGGERING INTESIFIES (sorry I’m a solo parent all week and my nerves are frayed hahaha)
Hahaha. It gets better. My oldest wants me to start teaching him how to drive this weekend. He's gonna learn on my e36 M3.
Tough guy schtick??? Really?! I have never seen anything but auto enthusiasm on the hooniverse and most of the legit Badass tough guys I know have kids
A baby's car seat in a Quadrifoglio? No, Jeff, no! Perhaps the 280hp Ti but never in the firebreathing Quadrifoglio.
False! Baby seat in everything where it will fit. I keep a spreadsheet of every car my daughters been in since I brought her home from the hospital in a Charger Hellcat.
The Hooniverse
That's awesome!
If I had that money to spend, I think I would for go the very attractive body and styling and go for a Chevy SS. I'd save money, have more power, and get better gas milage.
Ryan Ngo Chevy SS has less power than this car being reviewed.
Chevrolet SS/Holden VF Commodorre only has 450bhp. And is heavier than Giulia QV. A good car to drive and is a good value, but not quite as fast as Giulia QV.
Holy shit it's kylo ren.... And. He's a car guy?
"this is a 2017 near the end of its life." LOL im sure you didnt mean to say that. I giggled. This car is something i want, but those bastards wont let me TD it. What BS. I loath the idea of having to buy something im not aloud to try out first. Yea dont give me that BS line owners want cars w/ zero miles. So have a fucking demo. "We dont want everyone driving it". Your a terrible sales guy if you cant figure out who is serious and who's not. Im almost at that point of just saying fuck it. All the reviews are nothing but stellar. Cant be that bad right?!
EPIC FAIL 02:20 "....everyone driving one of these things has experienced some issues...."
I own a 2017 Giulia Quad since May 2017....14500 miles....no issues (other than envious BMW "M" drivers) no warning lights....Please stop the stereotyping Jalopnik nonsense...My German Car experiences

Late to the party
Fantastic car, until it breaks down on the drive back from the dealership
After you took it to the dealership because t broke down on the side of the road.
Give the FCA bashing a break, why don't you? Like 94.6% of all those who bash FCA reliability but have never actually owned an FCA product. "Yeah, I saw all these TH-cam videos and internet car reviews that badmouth FCA so I guess it must be true". Or my favorite..."My cousins barber's accountant knows a lady whose daughter's college roommate's uncle had a Dodge that always broke down on him". Full disclosure, I actually owned a Dodge Durango SUV and never had a single issue with it.
J High Found the FCA fanboi LOL you're delusional.FCA is at the bottom of every.single.reliability.ranking and survey. Alfa's unreliability is the stuff of legend and specifically the Giulia has left several journalists stranded and gone into limp mode on the track. Do a simple freakin Google search and get your head out of your ass.
FedoraMcGentlesir
Not a fanboy at all. I bet you clicked on this video just to FCA bash. I'm aware that FCA has had its share of reliability issues. That said, this car is a monster and I wouldn't hesitate to lease one of these in a heartbeat.
FedoraMcGentlesir that's true to most performance modern vehicles. Even the Civic type R are having transmission and overheating issues. But the Alfa is pretty special. The more you love cars, the more you fall in love with this Alfa.
Carlos Guevara
Haters gonna hate.
A nice looking sports sedan and an unreliable one too.
I hope you own one and speak from your own experience.
John Vu how’s that
Brake by wire, and break by side of road...deal breakers
Keep driving your Civic...that doesn't break.
Sucks to be you, LOSER
Nick Varga Ignorant fool (judging by your responses) What braking system do you think every commercial airliner has used for the past 20 years? Moron!
This is a sport sedan for people who enjoy sitting around doing nothing three days of a week while a mechanic is fixing your Italian junk.
Kai Lin No, it’s the best in it’s class and Alfa are so confident of that fact that they offer a 5 year warranty. I know that terrifies German car fanboys like you but you’ll have to get used to the fact that there’s a new gun in town.
