I have an Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio specced just like this, I brought her new in 2018. Just performed the 80,000 mile service and I'm still thrashing her everyday, fantastic car.
Little late but I'm in the process of getting one. How's been the servicing and costs on it. Want to keep this thing running well into the 100K mile mark.
I was loving the Alfa but then I read about a detail which nobody talks about ... It has 2.6 bar of turboboost! I do not think that it will survive that for a long time :(
livc444111 my super sport is arriving next week, the best I could afford! would I have had the quadrifoglio??? YES ABSOLUTELY YES!!!! It'll be a 2.0 petrol for me instead haha!
2:50 that made me laugh cause one of the most common stereotypes about the old 60's Giulia is that it was used bye mafious people to kidnap people or hyde corpses. Maybe that's why they put that button there :)
@@2steaksandwiches665 wow is the filter lined with gold??? But that brings me to my next question… how are the service costs, not knowing what your mileage is at?
@@2steaksandwiches665 thank you for answering my questions. I’m coming from a bmw f80 m3, so my servicing costs have been covered by bmw since new, but that is about to expire with my warranty soon unless I extend it, but that is pricey too. Alfas are very rare in my parts, with a dealer ratio of more than 2:1 when compared with bmw, and indie shops that can work on them are even fewer. Back when I bought my m3, I tried going to get a test drive in a QV, but they wouldn’t allow you to even sit in it unless there is a non refundable deposit or a contract signed… I got cold feet and did not follow through and ended up going bmw instead 🤷♂️
Pay attention to what you said. Because claiming that the giulia QV is the best in its class will attract thousands of german fanboys crying and annoying everybody by using the most stupid excuses to show that bmw/merc/audi are the best instead
Have one. 2019. In race mode, dampers on mid on a back road flat out, the car feels more like a mid engined super car than a 4 door sedan. Truly amazing car to drive fast.
159 didn't had a GTA model. 3.2 JTS (GM) engine ;) 156 GTA 3.2 V6 (Alfa romeo) engine is much better looking (and faster) I had a 156 GTA sportwagon, still miss her
The first thing I'd do as a kidnapper would be to deactivate the internal escape latch. I might even repurpose it to add insult to injury to the victim... perhaps it releases a swarm of fire ants into the trunk...
Man this car still looks as sexy and aggressive as the day it was first released! I think this once again will be one of those Alfa's that doesn't really age look-wise, like the 8C. The M3 or M4 just look angular and boring compared to this.
My dad had one for 3 years and while it’s an amazing car, it’s actually closer to 1700kg than 1400kg. Also loves to skid in the low gears which could sometimes be a problem.
Used an Alfa 33... Then moved up to the 168... Currently in transit and hey presto... Just what the doctor prescribed... Giulia Quadrifoglio... Absolutely loving it... The best part... That sweet V8 Noise coming from just a 2.9 V6 🏆 imagine getting V8 performance with just V6 economy... Priceless 🏆🎖
I love the M3 since i was a little boy... but one i saw this Giulia right next to an M3... man the Bmw is gorgeouse... but this Alfa is just something else!
It makes perfect sense! The Alfa is for people who love driving, and the BMW is for people who want to act like dicks. We already knew that. Beautiful car to look at, and even better to drive!
There are to things which stayed in my heart from my childhood. 1st my dog Great Dane and 2nd my uncle's 1980's Alfa Romeo GT 2000. I am so glad Alfa Romeo found their soul again! Just need to sell both of my kidneys and throw my wife down the stairs and make a claim hahaha
Thank you for doing a great honest review with some passion...unlike android man who reviewed it like a smart phone on Redline...that gave me a headache...no a migraine actually.
In this one you could also turn it off but its not just putting in Race Mode. BTW the VDC systems of Alfa's allow side drift till a certain YAW Angle. I have a 156 and it allows a lot of mess before it triggers the VDC.
Hazard lights is to let the driver behind you know that you are going hard on the brake. Allso on highway when there is a traffic upfront,youre driving 120kph and have to break to 30kph the driver behind can not see how hard you brake sinds the brakelights dont have levels to show hoe hard you go on brakes. For that reason alot of drivers put on the hazard lights manualy to show the driver behind that they are hard on brakes so they have to brake hard to. So thats a good option from alpharomeo👌🏼👌🏼
Marco Montano I know I saw that from his enthousiasm but still this is targeted at consumers. Purists will love it but will it suit the average customer/consumer in this category. I definitely think he would've said buy it but I'm finding it odd he didn't put it in the review.
peter halasz I know, I noticed his enthousiasm but generally he states it at the end of his reviews. It's his house style and something you tend to get used to. I know he probably would've said go ahead and buy it but I just noticed the inconsistency and wondered why.
It's not the normal car review format, so there is no 'consider, shortlist, buy' thing at the end. There wasn't a top 5 / worst 5, and no normal driving, infotainment and luggage capacity clip either.
Giulia doesn't like to behave wildly with everybody, if you know what I mean ;). Anyway Alfa hit the mark with this car, at last the good old Alfa 75 has a worthy successor
I think Alphas problem is that in the past they were huge but theyve let themselves down recently and now people would rather buy a merc or bmw or audi as they are "more dependable" or "more of a fashion icon" and as a result theyve fallen down the pecking order even if they still produce a stunning, incredible car like this with such pure italian passion.
I've test driven one and the engine is epic. In Race mode, exhaust is very loud and gives off a loud "bang" on up shifts however no crackles at all on downshifts. Wasn't really a fan of the exhaust sound - became a bit tiring after a while. Nothing like the fantastic sound of an V8 AMG.
It's good like that in my opinion because in the world there are also people who do not smoke like me, or people who will never let anybody to smoke "also me"
My biggest question related to new cars is why doesn't this car sell? Not the quadrifoglio, because it's really meant to grab press attention and be a marketing tool, but Alfa needs to sell volumes right now and somehow, people aren't buying the normal sedan and I just can't figure out why the hell not? Perhaps it's because it's quite high priced for a new player with questionable history and reliability issues, compared to it's rivals. But still, if I'd have the money, I'd get the Alfa. Hands down, the best looking sedan today. And I'm a big BMW fan and owner, yet I'd take the Alfa without blinking. I really do hope sales pick up. I don't want Alfa to vanish into history.
mowglilp Because people want an image where they look richer than what they actually are, and BMW, Mercedes and Audi are just what they want, a "rich looking" car for posers (the majority) unlike smaller brands. If people didn't think like that (and that german cars are just automotive perfection and the rest is nothing) and wanted for real the "best" car for them most of them wouldn't go to buy it choosing by popularity and myths but would consider the rest of it, but of course it is much cooler to have four links on the front grill compared to the historic (and it is historic for real) one of Milano (but I have to say that I can see in my area quite few Giulia and Stelvio and Alfa Romeo in generals, yes it is Milano's hinterland but it isn't like in Torino where a non-FIAT car is rare). Alfa Romeo's history is all but questionable (apart for the 80's, when just the engines won in many racing series), it has a great history, it won the first automotive championship ever in 1925, it would have won the 1950 and 1951 F1 constructor championship if it wasn't introduced in 1958, since they dominated them with the 158 and 159 (with Farina and Fangio); so, it has won in the 50's in F1 and rally, then in the 60's (when BMW copied the first Giulia for making the 3 series) with 6 ETCC titles, then in 70's with the prototypes (dominating the 1977 season), it destroyed the germans on their own turf in the 90's (where the germans kept to change the technical rules to defeat Alfa Romeo, then there's Singen 1994, karma that now DTM is slowly dying) with 155 and 2000's with the 156 again in ETCC; it is a brand plenty of victories since 1913 (still not as many as Ferrari, McLaren, Porsche and Ford), it has produced great road cars through the years and from it two brands were born, Ferrari (from 1929 to 1947 Scuderia Ferrari used Alfa Romeo cars before using in 1948 the 125 F1 and before that Enzo was an Alfa Romeo driver along with Antonio Ascari, father of Alberto Ascari, "el negher" Giuseppe Campari and Ugo Sivocci, the man of the famous quadrifoglio, and considered Alfa Romeo as a mother, infact after Silverstone 1951, with Gonzalez winning on the 375 F1, Enzo said "Today I killed my mother" on Ferrari's first victory) and Lamborghini (that wouldn't exist without Ferruccio being angry at Ferrari). Again, Alfa Romeo's history is all but questionable. Finally the price it's the same as the competitors, and in some cases Giulia is even cheaper than the rest, plus you have to take care of your car if you want it to be reliable, but people clearly didn't do that considering in this years Alfa a cheap car and probably the only fluid they changed in the car was the fuel, but you can hear stories of reliable Alfas as well as faulty cars from trusted brands.
I disagree. People want reliability. Most BMW fans are also ALFA fans as they both stand for raw driving pleasure. I love BMW and I also love ALFA. I'd love to own a Alfa but I doubt I ever will because a) completely unreliable and B) residual loss. I drive a BMW M4 Its not to 'look richer than I am' I can afford the car I own it with no finance. I could just as easy buy this quadrofoglio but I'd be constantly worried about when it would let me down. That's why Alfas don't sell well, nothing to do with financial image that's nonsense.

"The bonnet is also carbon fibre. Obviously you can't see it until you get to that part of Alfa Romeo ownership"😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Great Vid. man i enjoy watchng how u present cars to the public bro your knowledge is exceptional 👌
Design of the Italians + Build Quality of the Germans = 👌🏼
Lamborghini that is!
MahadAli add japanese reliability
Bobo Bebe it's still an alfa
Its build by Ferrari and Alfa together ;) So not a lot of german there :)
@@3381-c5v Exactly its an Alfa Romeo.
Alfa have done it!!
The car is like real Italian girls.Amazing but you have to comply to some crazy rules ;D
Imagine a Giulia coupe... I think it would be my "kinda realistic" goal in life
Such a lovely car. Want!
2:16 who else was thinking of something else 😂😂
Your not suppose to drift on race... You hold race for a few seconds and than another mode comes on... All assists off... Study the damn car please Carwow.....
why?
Well he has a point. Its not in fact supposed to drift on a Race.
Why? Because drift makes you lose time. :)
Drifting is stupid. Period.
Or, you can see at that position, wich it's my; to not destroy the car in your first full throttle in race mode.
If only Honda would have made such nicely styled and solid metal shift-paddles for the NSX
*Amazing car.*
Thanks Mat. Very nice done review spot on
I drive this car in Forza horizon 4 all the time. It's such a good car, easy but fun to drive
I love you review, nice flight by the way!
The hazard light turn on to WARN the cars behind you...that u made an emergency stop...i think
that airborne scene gave me instant goosebumps
