Sorry you live in Florida which lacks winding mountain roads. That is where the QF really comes alive. I've owned mine since Sept '19, driven all over the NE up into Maine, mountains of Vermont and NH. Did 6,000 miles in the first two months. A truly fantastic car. I got mine in Strongsville, Ohio, near Cleveland where they were giving amazing deals on new cars. Chump change for Ferrari performance. BTW not a single warning light or problem of any kind. Unfortunately, haven't had it over 140MPH yet, but planning on a trip to the track soon.
The Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio put a smile on your face as I can see in the video. The engine itself is a symphony! May be the most desirable sport sedan on the market.
desirable? Hell no, you dont understand what you talking about thing is the most unreliable car on the market.. making most buyers avoid it entirely nearly everyone I know that can afford it won't even bother to touch it. Italians only know how to draw... but cannot build parts that hold together.
Johan Cha for a car that puts a smile on your face everytime you hit that gas pedal and makes your life that much more exciting. Idgaf what kinda money that thing needs for maintenance, I’d get it in a heartbeat🔥
@@Psych0pali - Johan Cha has a point. Sure, it will put a smile on your face every time you hit the gas pedal, until it breaks down. Money aside, you can't even enjoy the car due to how often it'll be in service. Check out the hundreds of videos on this car on TH-cam, even the press cars experience issues... I have been in the market for a sport sedan in this price range and really did consider the Giulia Quadrifoglio, but a lot of owners on the forums all have one issue or another with this car. It's just not worth it. I almost bought one because even though most of these MSRP at $75k - $90k, a lot of dealerships are letting them go at $60k because they cannot sell them. At $60k, you have the Audi RS3, the new AMG CLA 45, M2, some M3's etc., all of which are actually more reliable.
btp589 those German cars are all good and solid because they have a reputation from years of selling reliable cars over their time, but that was years ago. Audi’s are very attractive cars but they cost a fortune to fix, BMW and Mercedes are also attractive cars but they’re gonna cost a fortune to fix after their warranty expires more so than an Alfa Romeo that’s gonna make you scared shitless to even drive it at race mode lol. The only reason Alfa has a bad reputation of bad reliability is because they’ve been out of the market in the US for a long time and has had a long history of making stereotypical Ferrari cars that don’t start. Alfa put billions, not millions, billions into perfecting the guilia and stelvio, while the Germans have been lacking these recent years, Alfa has been making the most powerful stock V6 engine in the world, problem is that people put their money into something that’s known more so into something that’s been perfected. Alfa just needs time to earn people’s trust back and this is a great start at it, they’re not dumb when they knew it’s gonna take time because it will, but you gotta start somewhere.
Nice video, wonderful car. This year in October my dream will be come true. I would buy it, in misano blue or nero volcano. Just 165 days to wait from now... Best car, Alfa ever builds!
I have a 2018 versions and love it. I put a Miltek exhaust on it from delivery so it sounds even better and it has carbon tips which looks better on my opinion. One thing I wish mine had which the new one does is the split folding rear seat.
Your smile really makes me want to have one. Lucky you to already have the Q 2020 at dealerships. In Europe not even the dealerships know when it can be configured, ordered, or delivered. I would have one with the bright technico wheels and a red interior.
At 8:08, I'm like dice this car already Ron😂😂, I mean I don't mind listening to you but right now I'd rather see another happy QV driver. And the funny thing is that we know it's an incredible drive but everytime someone else drive we get excited.
Hey Ron, I had a question. In this video you said that Alfa enabled the valve opening in Dynamic mode. Earlier that was only available in Race but now we get louder exhaust also in Dynamic?
Love the exterior look, but the inside is lacking to me. Comparable price to the Maserati Ghibli. Giulia drives better, but the Maser looks better and comes in AWD (for those of us in the northeast). Neither has a great track record for reliability, but both are fun if you have the dollars to spend.
Klasse Auto, ich kann Dir nur herzlichst dazu gratulieren. Ich fahre seit 12 Jahren einen Alfa Romeo 159 mit dem stärksten Motor, bin sehr zufrieden, keine Macken, einzigartig. Aber dieses Auto Gulia Quadrifoglio ist noch mal ein erhebliche Steigerung. Jetzt will ich mal sehen, wo man hier in Deutschland (nach dem aktuellen Corona Virus) mal eine vernünftige Testfahrt machen kann oder dieses Auto überhaupt mal bei einem Händler in Deutschland sehen kann. Beste Grüße, Horst Lemke, Musikproduzent, Deutschland
Awesome car. By the way I think it's great that Alfa and Maserati is keeping the analog gauge cluster. It can be a really attractive just like this. If i were an interior desinger i would keep it.
Keve Juhász Absolutely! It’s a parallel with digital watches - they are annoying with no style. All great watches are analog. Same with car dashboards.
Look at that Smile! Great vid, waiting for the 2020 to come down under so I can test drive..Do you find the shifter is more a solid, premium feeling? What are the wheel options with the QV?
Smiles per miles! Shifter is just fine. In love the styling but I prefer to use paddles over anything. But it feels solid! I love the current wheel options but I would like at least 1 or 2 more in the lineup.
I've only driven the standard giulia and would happily buy one but if I can snatch one of these... waiting till used prices come down I can't justify prices yet
Compared to your Ghibli which has the better sounding exhaust? Also how much faster does the alpha feel? Ex....twice as fast.....? I have a Q4 but was definitely thinking about getting this next year.
thinking to trade my M3 for the QV soon . BTW, since the QV don't have the esc off button like M3 , The race mode is it full ESC off ? or like M3 MDM mode 50% off ?
When my old Quadrifoglio is in (P)ark and your foot is on the break you can shift once up with your shiftpad on the steering column the car willl flip into (D)rive. Using the up-and downshift at the same time the car willl go in (N)eutral. I guess it'll be the same in the 2020 model.
I'm surprised no exterior changes, those interior mods are tiny as a facelift. I own an 18 model QF and for me the old steering wheel looks better, so does the centre console on the older model and I love the valves open up at 3.5k in D as opposed to all the time (you get different pops and bangs because of this) it's amazing around town, drive off quiet valves open at 3.5k and sometimes double bang, never does that when valves open all the time, and now that has gone in the facelift. Alfa really should have added an exhaust button instead, and then you can have the valves open anytime. I've had exhaust valve mod to do the same. So you see for me there is nothing that interests me in swapping my 18model for the facelift.
Glad the have updated some of the interior, especially center counsel so it doesn't have as much of that cheap look. Still don't know if it is worth the $80k.
The only thing missing is the option to have AWD. If the Stelvio Q. can have it, that option should be available on the Gulia Q. I live in Michigan, and I like this car. If they make one with AWD, I will definitely buy one.
Except for the Giulia Quadrifoglio, all other trims of the Giulia can be optioned with AWD. As for the Stelvio, from the lowest trim up to the Stelvio Quadrifoglio, you can have it in AWD.
This car sounds and performs nice but the looks is just lackluster especially for 80 to 90k asking price. I really would expect something "head turning" for that price. Alfa need st bring back the 8c. I think the Guiletta is a nice looking car as well too bad we can not get it in the states.
Italians are Ph.D in art, design and fashion sense But are drop-outs of mechanical engineering programs. Nothing from Italy can hold itself together without falling apart. cars are not fashion items.. they are mechanical devices, of which Italians simply cannot get around to buildling properly
Johan Cha Hahahaha ... Aside that we created the automotive market ! Fall aside ? Do you know the history of Alfa Romeo??? The brand form which Ferrari was born? We had the best engineers and designers in the last 120 years !!! Come one gimme a break ...yeah that's why in Italy you still see 500s Fiat from the sixties still alive and kicking ...have you ever been to sant'agata Bolognese??? Where Lamborghini was born??? Or to Maranello??? Or in Turin when Fiat had robots back in the 70s before anybody else ?🤦♂️ We built the best motors in history .... Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati, Alfa Romeo, Lancia, Isotta Fraschini... Please educate yourself and get tlost moron!
I had 2 Quadrifoglio that I bought brand new in 2018 then in 2019. I really wanted to love them but both go lemon lawed... I hope Alfa will produce reliable car one day. The Giulia is at the bottom of the reliability of consumer reports. A pity, otherwise a beautiful car...

You lucky dog!
Meraviglie del mio paese 💕❤️🇮🇹🍀
💯♥️🍀
Love it, just love it. Thanks for sharing. Just hearing the exhaust note puts a smile. I love it that's it different from the others competition. 👍🔥
Such a unique car. It’s truly a gem and a pleasure to drive!
Just the sound alone is something addictive! I miss a little more growl on my Giulia Veloce!
Watching this with a grin on my face seeing you have so much fun. And my favorite 3 words in your description... no drivers assistance!
The Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio put a smile on your face as I can see in the video.
The engine itself is a symphony!
May be the most desirable sport sedan on the market.
If it wasn't for reliability, both luckily and sadly.

Dude you are so happy! It is a happy review! :) The car is insane! Got a sub!
Alfiste dans l âme, La GIULIA QUADRIFOGLIO 😍😍😍 .... La meilleure berline tout simplement. .

*Timepoint **12:00** . . . ok so like RonsRides **_totally_** played the race card. ;) Anyhoo, thanks for another superb vid, RR!*
Mannnn I think you were having too much with my car 😂.... Another great video!
Your smile really makes me want to have one. Lucky you to already have the Q 2020 at dealerships. In Europe not even the dealerships know when it can be configured, ordered, or delivered. I would have one with the bright technico wheels and a red interior.
Great video for a great car! 👍
Holy sh**t Ron! You had more fun on this video than I’ve seen you have in Months... Thinking about trading in the Stinger yet?
Haha glad you can tell! It was the perfect day!!! I mean a Giulia QV has been on the list for a while now!
At 8:08, I'm like dice this car already Ron😂😂, I mean I don't mind listening to you but right now I'd rather see another happy QV driver. And the funny thing is that we know it's an incredible drive but everytime someone else drive we get excited.
Brutal!
Love this car..the best car out there!
Beautiful!
Drop dead gorgeous!
So glad the steering hasn’t changed!!!!
Still incredible as always!
asr 01 huh? The steering feel. Not the appearance of the wheel ya douche! 😂
Hey Ron, I had a question. In this video you said that Alfa enabled the valve opening in Dynamic mode. Earlier that was only available in Race but now we get louder exhaust also in Dynamic?
Great content! But it can't be started at dynamic mode (exhaust valves open) if I heard correctly. I really wish a full blast at startup anyway...
Is the 2020 Giulia Quadrifoglio damn near perfect?!
Yes!! Not much is needed . Got the looks, comparability, and the Power!!
I think is a little bit overpriced though;you can get a mustang gt 350 r for that kind a money.
Love the exterior look, but the inside is lacking to me. Comparable price to the Maserati Ghibli. Giulia drives better, but the Maser looks better and comes in AWD (for those of us in the northeast). Neither has a great track record for reliability, but both are fun if you have the dollars to spend.
Raul Moreno it’s a sport luxury sedan unlike the mustang is just a ford
Raul Moreno when you consider this is basically a budget Ferrari sedan it’s an amazing price. Especially used with < 10k miles

I enjoyed the video! I really like that car! How is the durability on the Alfa Romeos so far?
Ron are the valves open from cold in D now? If not then Alfa have missed this big time!!! Its amazing especially when it's freezing outside.
What an astonishing machine! If only they offered a wagon (estate) version, like the previous 159. That car would be the bargain of the century.
Woooooow 😍
Awesome car. By the way I think it's great that Alfa and Maserati is keeping the analog gauge cluster. It can be a really attractive just like this. If i were an interior desinger i would keep it.

They changed the engine cover subtly, the silver faux intake runners are a little more squared off than the original cover...
I've only driven the standard giulia and would happily buy one but if I can snatch one of these... waiting till used prices come down I can't justify prices yet
Art car❤️🇮🇹🍀
Compared to your Ghibli which has the better sounding exhaust? Also how much faster does the alpha feel? Ex....twice as fast.....?
I have a Q4 but was definitely thinking about getting this next year.
Ron it's the first time I saw you smile
thinking to trade my M3 for the QV soon . BTW, since the QV don't have the esc off button like M3 , The race mode is it full ESC off ? or like M3 MDM mode 50% off ?
Does it good in snow? I mean with the winter tires installed...
Fantastica, per personalità una spanna sopra tutte
$78k that's a steal! Where I'm from a Giulia QF starts at €118k.
Forza Alfa Romeo!!!
Watching you drive had me feeling like I was in the car with you. That was fun!!
That’s what’s up! Glad I could bring you into the experience!
When my old Quadrifoglio is in (P)ark and your foot is on the break you can shift once up with your shiftpad on the steering column the car willl flip into (D)rive. Using the up-and downshift at the same time the car willl go in (N)eutral. I guess it'll be the same in the 2020 model.
Dirk Cuypers indeed, you never need the shift knob actually
GORGEOUS ISN’T ENOUGH!!! I mean, De gustibus non disputandum est!!!

Why do u drive a Korea car Ron
Glad the have updated some of the interior, especially center counsel so it doesn't have as much of that cheap look. Still don't know if it is worth the $80k.
Ryan Hanseth used ones are almost half price.
The only thing missing is the option to have AWD. If the Stelvio Q. can have it, that option should be available on the Gulia Q. I live in Michigan, and I like this car. If they make one with AWD, I will definitely buy one.
Do they do an AWD version or do you have to switch to the Stelvio to get that option ?
Except for the Giulia Quadrifoglio, all other trims of the Giulia can be optioned with AWD. As for the Stelvio, from the lowest trim up to the Stelvio Quadrifoglio, you can have it in AWD.
It also makes me wonder how AWD will affect the excellent driving dynamics of the Quad.
How to build a sport sedan!!!!!
Ron, can you get into some mods that can be done?
Why the hell would you want to mod it? It's not a modder's car.
I want one.
Here from 413
This car sounds and performs nice but the looks is just lackluster especially for 80 to 90k asking price. I really would expect something "head turning" for that price. Alfa need st bring back the 8c. I think the Guiletta is a nice looking car as well too bad we can not get it in the states.
o.0 i want one ~
That car should be illegal, but they also make a 510 hp suv!!!!! FCA/Ferrari engineers (😅😅) are always pushing performance to another level.
Ever heard of the Jeep Trackhawk ??? 707 hp....
Great video! Check out the video i did with the Alfa Rome 4C!
The car sounds quiter than the 17-19 s
You would not put 6 people in the back? Why?
Lmao stop it 😂
It's Quadr(I)foglio, not Quadr(O)foglio.

This car is much faster than 3.7 seconds to 60, it will do very easily 3.2 seconds. Ron u take Stinger AWD and u will hit 4.2 seconds to 60, easily.
I wouldn't push my brand new car this hard...
Why not? Drive the car like it was made to be driven.... HARD and FAST!
Too many commercials for one video..ridiculous
Dude, you're shifting @ 5 grand! What are you scared of? Truly disappointing to watch you in RACE mode.
