M4 Video going live on Sunday now instead. Also the Giulietta sold before the video went live #ONIT
What’s the website for your dealership I want have a look at the rs3 please.
What about that 66plate 420d you showed briefly?
The fact that you compare the back door handles with a Nissan Juke...the audacity! Alfa Romeo did it in 1997 with the 156, no Juke no nothing! Mamma mia!!
I have had a Giulietta 1750 QV for 4 years and absolutely love it - So underrated as a sporty hatch.
This is the same car only facelifted and given the name Veloce instead of QV; Cloverleaf before that.
The heated bucket seats are the standard seats on all QV/Facelift Veloce models 👌. Same engine as in the 4c too. Keep up the great content! 🇮🇹
I have the QV model too. It's a blast!
The 240 veloce also has a quaife mechanical diff as standard instead of the EQ2 in the qv and the cloverleaf
@@dylanwakley2553 i don’t think that is true (unfortunately)…
@@lukanemanic7507 it is, I own a 2010 cloverleaf with the eq2 system. It's only the 2016< cars that have the quaife diff though
These have the engine and gearbox from the Alfa 4C, so underrated as a hot hatch
Prefiill on the brakes means that when you release the accelerator in a fast move to get to the brakes pedal you'll find the hydraulics system already under pressure, it'll grab the discs faster.
It's not crazy money compared to the equivalent VW GTi which it totally smokes
These cars are sooo underrated, despite maybe slightly outdated interior, they are amazing cars, especially the older ones with the manuals, and those seats are standard on the veloce models
Calvin loving that boost life the excitement this man has about cars in his voice is a pleasure to listen to 👏
I had one of these for 2 years albeit the Quadrifoglio Verde with the TCT. Got mine to 370 bhp and it was a rocket. Pulled off the end of the dial. Really under rated cars but have the ability to empty your wallet when things go wrong (clutches especially at over £1k). Unfortunately had to sell up as couldn’t afford to run it and a house. Definitely want another one day.
I just bought one 15 plate
Mines a clover leaf so very similar spec
The gearbox is amazing in dynamic mode using the paddle shift
Absolutely love mine and it’s red and sticks out from all the others
I’ve had lots of Alfa over the years
To say its not your type of car it certainly put a smile on yer face
I've had both this and a VW golf GTi. The Alfa smokes the golf for acceleration and handling. But the Alfa falls down on the interior and MultiMedia. They were both as reliable as one another. The Alfa was cheaper to buy in the first place
The alfa looks shite
Aren’t golfs known for launching well and handling though ?
Alfa reliable??? When new possibly 🤔
@@conorf8091 they were both good. But for me the Alfas fast steering made it feel like it handled better. I went from the golf to the Alfa and the Alfa definitely felt faster. The golf felt better built but on both cars nothing broke and both were reliable. You can update the Alfas multimedia with a 3rd party screen to give apple carplay and Android auto apparently.
@@neilpike4358 must have been a lucky one 🤣
would love to see calvin do a review on a vw golf tcr , not many of them about i belive but would be nice to see how that stacks up between a gti and a golf r ! love all these quirky cars youve been doing recently! content is amazing calvin keep up the hard work👍🏻 thanks for good content to keep us all going through our days!
I had 3 of these including the Quadrifoglio and loved em!
I will just say amazing I’m driving past four years 2.0 Diesel 170 break hp and I just love any time you drive you always feel special ❤️
Treat it to a wee remap. Easy 200bhp and 425nm.
I have a sportiva 170 petrol with a 200hp remap. Hard to believe its only a 1.4!
Hoping to get this as my second car. Got the smaller Mito at the moment. Glad you got this 🔥
I’ve got a mito, gonna upgrade to the cloverleaf soon hopefully
Always great to see an Alfa on your channel Calv!
The old Giulietta badging looked nicer, just a lovely italic style font under the Alfa badge. Tasty.
the seats are standard in the facelift version that you are in. The other seats you showed were the standerd QV seats for the pre-facelist version. Before the facelift these cars where called QV models after the facelift veloce. Because they thaught it wasnt fast enough anymore to wear that QV badge. As the Giulia and stelvio Q (yeah no V anymore) came out, and only they deserved that full cloverleaf badge (veloce is their mid-tier level). Yeah italians are not that steadfast with their ideas.
Anyway it doest not have a mechanical LSD. They did however add an electric, computer controled system that somewhat mimicks how a LSD feels. Other then that it shares the same engine with the 4C and Formula W cars. That just shows what kind of a masterpiece they created, and you can feel and enjoy that everytime you drive it.
And a stage 1 tune brings it to a healthy/save 280hp/295ft-lbs for a tct and 310ft-lbs for a manual gearbox
When your in the veloce club, its a special feeling :)
I remember that yard, bought a Giulietta from them in January last year, brake pad sensors were cut to hide a problem with a stuck caliper.
I only have the 2litre diesel but even that is fun to drive! Sadly can't realistically insure anything quicker at 22...
Never looked at owning an Alfa myself but yeah pretty impressive
Ah wicked my Alfa GT Cloverleaf got written off in the garage it was being repaired at! Been looking at these! A lot of car for the money!
How did it get written off?
@@sammybaker4767 delivery van reversed into it and smashed the door and the rear quarter, I’m buying it back and repairing but so annoying!
Friend of mine has a
2010 Alfa Romeo giulietta 1.4 multi air turbo 170 Bhp.
He has had it remapped and had a stage 2 clutch kit and dual mass fly wheel installed now hitting over 200bhp goes like a rocket it is a very quick car is capable of over 150mph
I am ALFISTA! really nice car, and your review was awesome. But anyway the video with Mende SRCHATA ("the glass" - his nickname) who crashed the Jaguar is still the most viewed video :)
Always had a soft spot for these, great little review Calvin. 🙌🏼
Hadn't watched one of yours for a while, and a bit....disappointed. The concealed rear door handles is an Alfa thing going back to 1998 with the Alfa 156. Everyone else with concealed handles has copied Alfa Romeo who have such an illustrious racing history, you should read it 😂 Enzo Ferrari started at Alfa Romeo 😂
Like finding these different types of cars not the usual stuff
When you put it into dynamic mode it turns the electric diff (Q2) on.
The Q2 is always active. Check out the media display when the car is in All Weather.
Nice one Calvin. I’ve got a 2010 Giulietta Cloverleaf 1750 TBI manual and a 2010 Brera 1750 TBI manual the Giulietta is 235 horse in the earlier version of this engine and was only available as manual. The later all alloy version was semi auto only and the same unit found in the 4C. The Brera is 200 BHP and just over a second slower to 60. The Brera has a smaller turbo than the Giulietta. I love both, they’ve both done over 100,000 miles and I adore this engine, which is why I have 2! :)
You could get TCT as an option on the earlier cloverleafs, manual was standard though
@@dylanwakley2553 no, TCT was never an option on Cloverleafs.
Cloverleafs were all manual and when the facelift was launched in early 2014 they switched to TCT and rebadged the car Quadrifoglio Verde.
@@Echoes1910 hmmm could’ve sworn I’ve seen some older cloverleafs with tct
@@dylanwakley2553 defo not. 2014 is the earliest TCT QV. There are 1.4 MA & 2.0 JTDM’s that were TCT from December 2011 onwards.
@@Echoes1910 yeah my mistake, just looked it up, I have a 2010 cloverleaf myself, absolutely love it
Had mine for a year now and absolutely love it
Always watch these videos whilst taking a poo. Takes me 15mins these days
I opted for the diesel variant (Sportiva) as I do a lot of motorway miles. It only has 170bhp but it pulls really well and is plenty quick enough to put a smile on my face! Love Aflas - had a 147 back in the day and I'll hopefully be getting a Giulia in the not too distant future.
Cool cars, we had one in at work a few weeks back
I'm on my second Giulietta QV, latest with tct and 8c block. Lovely cars. 😍
Loving that Calvin seems to be the only TH-camr NOT always pushing 1000+ bhp content 🙌🏼
Proper Alfa is an old skool Alfa like a sud, 33, voloce sprint etc even if they were rust buckets, like clarkson says your not a proper petrol head if you haven’t owned an Alfa. Even Nigel mansell had a 164. Cracking video tho 🚙🚀👍
Fun time’s reviewing these cars, Calvin. Coool car 😎giving the Italians some love. Great video..:) 🤟🤟🥂
Compare the bmw with Giullieta… compare it with the Jullia QV and you will cry mate … you will feel ashamed that you are driving the bimmer…
Sometimes just go on calvs videos for the cinematic 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽 great video mate
i've the 2011 green cloverleaf version, same engine but different material (cloverleaf cast iron 235bhp, the veloce aluminium 241bhp) and different turbocharger(cloverleaf has a Borgwarner k03, the veloce one BorgWarner k04)
Galvin nice car. Did you sell it to another trader or did you do a deal on another car. As the alfa is on auto trader for £14500.
It's looking to me you liking the alfas again calvin 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍
I had the GQV earlier version in manual. Was an ok car no complaints. It was very beautiful inside with full custom leather that’s what I liked most about it.
Very curious your opinion regarding giulietta model years 2016-2020 are all models very similar interior and performance wise? Which one of them would be the best?
Calv, would you have a modified company van with the company logo on the side? you know like a parts collection van but also it’s a great mobile advert! be awesome to see a T6 VW powered by an R8 V10 with BINCA down the side of it 🔥✌️🙏
I’ve got the Giulietta qv 2015 model. You’ve got to open the windows, put your foot down and listen to the awesome whistle sound it makes (the turbo) and changing gears is sick. I almost always drive in manual mode and in dynamic. Awesome car overall, and my brother just recently bought the giula QV, I’m so jealous haha
I have just bought an early 2011 cloverleaf in 8C red, with options including xenons's, Pan roof, heated/elec leather seats. They do go well for a little hatch, just doesn't sound as nice as my Audi RS3 I just sold.
Once had an Alfa GT 2.0JTS, big end went with 40,000 miles on the clock... never again!
Had a sideways to your German cars for a few years. Been scammed by the dealer who are really only interested in the big company's and dont give a fck about you and your single car. They even damaged my car and parked it outside in the rain with an open roof. Back to the Italian cars again and a trusted dealer. Never again German cars for me
I had one and it was amazing, but I did spend a lot of time on hard shoulders. Would I have one again.....defo
Have one and they are great great cars and ultra reliable also. Great fun and you always look forward to a drive in one
E46 tourning update please Calvin.
I got a 2ltr diesel giulietta
Sooo underrated cars. Fun to drive
I'm fortunate enough to own one of these cars. They're fantastic, don't see hardly any on the road and they're little sleepers. Would definitely recommend one to put a smile on your face 😊
What the hell is this guy saying? I speak English, Spanish and Italian and couldn't follow what he was saying.
I've got a 2012 Qv 6sp with a novitec powerjet 3, and a basic open air intake. 300hp at the flywheel, she's got 168k kms on the clock now, never had an issue and i drive it like i stole it! I love her. Such pretty cars! 3 years of owning it and i still look at it :) It has a digital LSD. You have to wrestle the front wheel from time to time!
What is a novice power jet 3 and a basic open air intake ? Can you confirm what type of oil you use, what if any, transmission tct issues or maintenance required? I have a Giulietta QV Tct, and absolutely love it
Never seen Cal with so much hair didn’t know him
Don’t worry I still dislike electric cars.
@@CalvinsCarDiary nice to see a TH-camr who also hates them. Seems to be the fashion to like them 😂
Calv, how are u dealing with the petrol crisis
Where's Arthur's golf gone Calvin?
Nice looking Veloce that. Shame the newer ones weren’t manual.
Lovely car! Love Alfas
Calvin where do we get your Onit stickers from? 😁😂
Car sounds nice and gorgeous seats , but the dashboard looks nothing special with that entertainment screen slap bang in the middle, plus not warming to the shape, looks like a bog standard Japanese motor, but like a Honda jazz or likewise, even you mentioned the handles are like the juke. But I any loving your vlogs Calvin.
Love those Alfas!
300th like :)
Your welcome 👍🏻
Hi how do I get in contact with you I have a Couple of cars I am looking at selling a 2015 plate Land Rover discovery 2015
And a bmw m3 f80 2015 tuned thanks
Great Giulietta in England ❤❤❤❤is my car
Have a Giulietta QV. Doesn't do a whole lot for me. Maybe i just don't get it. It's quick, but doesn't seem to have the Alfa character. It just feels like any other hot hatch. These days, you mostly can't use the performance anyway. Previously I has a 916 GTV V6 - glorious, wish I'd kept the bloody thing
Hi. Im buying a 335d. Not sure what the specs are as its a private sale and owner is elderly and npt sure of everything. Whats the best app that would show the optipns of a vehicle. Thanks everyone
Alfa’s are special cars - period. Shame there are so few true petrolheads out there who truly understand the DNA, passion and history of the marque. A Golf, A3 and 1 Series are simply to banal and commonplace when compared to Alfa Romeo.
Most TH-cam video - Italian cars are really bad at depreciating - this video man that’s expensive 😮
Hope you have more success than “Chops Garage” channel is having with his....
Gord Blimey Gov-nah
You sold the Giula for the bm. 😂 😂😂😂
Yes he did 😆
I have alfa also is very fast and reliable. I like the effort and love the put to make the disign look I really like it. When you put as advance mode alfa fly as you would not imagine...
I got the 1.4 TB as my first car and absolutely loving it
as a person who lives in a country with alot of sun ( australia ) the silver V shape on the steering wheel is just horrible when the sun hits it, it reflects back into your eyes and is very hard to avoid, the gear paddles moving with the wheel when turning are horrible, imagine if you had a true manual and the shifter just randomly moved about the center console area, no rear camera on a car of this level from 2017 is just unexpected, especially with fairly low visibility, the seats really are not made for anyone about 6foot/180cm or taller, these are mostly all nit picky things, but whenever i drive mine its the things that get me annoyed slightly
What’s going on with the hair Calv ?? Get it sorted mate , u will have dreads in before long mate 😂😂
No, is not much money. I have a AR Giulietta and is so atractive and powerfull, if you want more powerfull you need a Giulia QV, and this is a masterpiece.
Your face says everything “ why don’t you get it up to VRS for a little pampering 🤔👍🏻 more power 😀
I never liked these to much to be honest. I have always wanted a brera with the v6 though if anyone wants to donate one.
Nice, what about the orange ST Focus you have? you gonna video it?
What you think of 1.4 multiair 170hp?
Would be quicker if you used launch control.....
What do you think about (very) slow steering racks in German cars, especially those that should be sporty?
Cheaper than equivalent GTI is expensive? LOL
Ive got the cloverleaf lovely car but does suffer from slight road noise
How much for that 420d i can’t find it on the website ?
If you don’t know what an LSD is, this car doesn’t deserve you.
lovely car but you gotta be mad to buy one of these lmao
Brilliant vid as usual
Straight pipe , it will sound mental and bangs like a shotgun between gears 😉
Alfa invented this concealed rear door handles.
Yeah, they appeared first on Alfa 147 and then the others started using the same trick.
@@Cane306 156 first before 147
emperor's clothes my friend .beautiful and exotic .its only valued at what people will pay .to be fair if it breaks down and looks like that you will forgive ,as you do .its all about how it makes you feel and smile
Uh?
I have a standard Giulietta and have been trying to get hold of these seats for ages they just look too good!
Also, that exact engine is used in the Alfa 4C, and in W Series racing 😳
the worst reviews of an alfa-romeo
You got one or just hearsay?
Why did you dumped Giulia for BMW?
