Alfa Romeo Giulia QV: This is why it isn't a bestseller

- The Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio, simply the "Quadrifoglio" or "Giulia QV" is a D Segment Sports Sedan rivaling others such as the BMW M3, Mercedes Benz C63 AMG or Audi RS4, although the latter is only offered in "avant" form.
In my opinion, the Italian car is just as good, or better, than it's aforementioned rivals, and yet, it doesn't sell nearly as well. Why? Well, that's what I'm going to tell you in this video and review by Abriatus of the Manual Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio Verde 2017.
This car, has the 2.9 Biturbo Engine sourced from Ferrari connected to a 6 speed manual gearbox (MT6), one of the few true drivers cars of the era. It was sold in the United States, Canada, the UK, Germany, Italy and Australia among many other markets across Europe and the World.
One thing I didn't mention in the video: depreciation. Surprisingly, and unlike most other Alfas, these Giulia QVs haven't depreciated all that much. Another reason to get one. Thanks for watching and subscribing. Cheers! :)
Never seen one of these with a manual and didn't think they were sold as such. At least not in the US. Where was this filmed?
@@justinmaccreery2490 This was filmed in Spain. The 6 speed manual transmission was a no-cost option for the Giulia QV until 2019, if I'm not mistaken, in all of Mainland Europe.
My impression is the very first early handful of models were made in manual gearboxes - they are quite rare.
no special alfa depreciates. Only diesel models and common models. The 4C is almost double of the price when it was new.
@@Ryosaeba24 Very true
Even the 4 cylinder 2.0 liter Giulia is pretty phenomenal! Best car I have ever owned!
Correct, and you can get a cheap tune to give it 320hp. The AWD version is a sexier Subaru STI. It is a 4 door sedan that drives on rails. No regrets. ❤
I have the 2.2 diesel with only 180ps and it is amazing 👌
Could not agree more! Best car Ive ever owned! Pure drivers car!! 👍👍
100% agree. I’ve had an F30 3-series, Jaguar XE and Mercedes C-class before my Giulia and none of them come close to the way this beauty drives
And it has the perfect 50/50 weight distribution.
Nice review. It may be different where you live, but one of the two big off-putting factors (in the UK at least) is the sparse nature of the dealer network. The other factor, and this is not the Giulia's fault at all, is the perception that Alfa's are unreliable. That reputation has been earnt over decades (not all of it fair) so that now, when Alfa finally produce some very respectably reliable vehicles, not enough people trust the brand. But one other point in favour of buying the QV you are considering other Giulia models (which, in all fairness, are also extremely good) is that you will keep feeling that deep pang of regret every time you see a QV on the road. Unless you are a cat, you only live once - so go have some real fun and buy a QV!
I’m getting the 2.0 because it’s my first venture into the brand and I need a daily driver as well. The tune available for them brings you up to around 320-330 hp which is more than enough for driving around town everyday 😅. It’s more fun to drive a slow car fast especially in an urban area
best luxury sports sedan chassis ever made. A 4 door Ferrari.
Absolutely agree
With a v6 xD
@@Jose-fh7nx what's wrong with a v6 lol
@@Jose-fh7nx you do know that the Ferrari 296GTB does come factory with 3.0L V6 right?
@@D0wNhiLL not only is that a hybrid but it makes 600+ hp unlike this, there’s a reason why it’s under appreciated because it deserves to be
That car is special and I'm a proud owner of one 😎
Have one, amazing drivers car. Power /handling is exceptional , car is also well built and really well balanced. Not too stiff either. Love it
Great summary - I have a 2022 Quadrifoglio and it is the best car I have ever owned. It makes me mad when ignorant people dismiss it as being somehow inferior to the mainstream German sports saloons - it is better than all of them!
Couldn’t agree more as I also have a Giulia QV
❤
You either understand Alfa Romeo, or you don’t. For me it’s the pinnacle. I have a 916 and would love a QV to go with it
German quality is shit
Maintenance costs are just too high for most people. The reason Alfa is losing their footing in the US is because their quality control here is frankly just awful.
I’m a die hard Alfista , I had a Giulia Veloce on lease for 3 years and absolutely loved it . I’m on my 8th Alfa and currently own an 88 Sprint QV and a 06 GT i picked up for peanuts but like all Alfas , once they hit rock bottom in value , they soon start to climb again because there’s something so special about them
I agree! Although these Quadrifoglio Verdes are having a depreciation curve that's very much unlike Alfa
Custom ordered a 2017 Giulia Quad and never looked back. Unfortunately 6 speed manual is not available in the US (nor anymore is Europe I believe). In any event, BEST CAR HANDS DOWN.
As a long time Alfa lover (currently have a 156 GTA and Alfetta GTV), I would love a QV, but they retail for over $150k here in Australia... Even the Veloce 2.0Lt starts at $80k, and sadly, usual Alfa depreciation hasn't yet kicked in. And most Australian buyers hang on to them - there are hardly any on the used market at any given time.
Your observation about "owners not the product" rings true - online and social media is full of disgruntled owners of Giulias and Stelvios complaining. However, the absolute majority of those seem to be from the US ... there simply isn't any comparable level of dissatisfaction evident in any other other market.
Which suggests to me US buyers (who seem more interested in the size of cupholders than checking the oil...) and the appalling reputation of a US dealer network staffed by snake-oil salesmen and Jeep mechanics (made worse by Alfa's 30 year absence no doubt) are the common denominator.
The Giulia has shown that it is not enough to produce a brilliant, class-leading product that gets rave reviews everywhere it goes. Alfa haven't produced a really desirable car in decades and it takes a very, very long time to change established habits. Even petrolheads are a conservative bunch and play it safe when it comes to buying their own car as much as they might admire other products, so they stick to the usual German brands rather than going for something a bit more special. It's ironic when BMW themselves stated at release of the latest 3-series that they didn't benchmark the Giulia because it was too good. I have a GQ on order so I have put my money where my mouth is.
What are you getting? The facelift?
@@nessuno5403 This made sound crazy but I don't know! Apart from the Anniversario special edition the MY23 GQ hasn't been announced yet. It depends what Alfa build when the time comes. Most likely a MY22 (pre-facelift). I wanted a MY22 because I love the classy analogue dials even though the matrix headlights would be very nice to have I don't really want another me-too digital dashboard. Ultimately, either way I just want the car to arrive!
@@memo3872 it's not crazy, but normal with Alfa Romeo 😂 Just beware, the MY22 has a steel roof. The facelift can be optioned with the carbon fibre version again... good luck!
I agree with what you said except the part that Alfa doesn't produce a desirable car. They do. The problem is more complicated and it's not one particular issue. I think in most countries where Alfas are sold, it's lack of brand name recognition coupled with sheer dominance of German marks in the high performance sedan market. It's a crowded segment and difficult to compete. Even the Japanese have a hard time competing with the Germans. Around where I live with a more European derived population, Alfa is well known but the problem then becomes the perception of reliability. People are generally highly cautious of Italian brands, unless they're so well off they don't care and can afford Maseratis, Ferraris and Lambos, etc.
The moment I drove one for the first time I instantly fell in love with car and the brand!
It really is a beautiful car
All I can say is this is absolutely correct - and a travesty. Agree entirely and as a committed Alfisti who owned a 75 V6 and most subsequent Busso engined Alfas, the Giulia QV is the pinnacle of Alfa Romeo ownership and all the car you could possibly need.
I bought a Stinger GT and when I can afford it I'll definitely be finding my way to a QV!
The Stinger GT is a great car!
The stinger GT is still a good and fun car. And the Harmon Kardon stereo sounds great.
It’s not selling for a few reasons:
Early models 2016/17 had multiple issues - all corrected with software updates but the damage was done and reinforced outdated opinions amongst know nothing journos that Alfas are unreliable.
The dealer network is dreadful.
Next to zero marketing.
No meaningful updates since launch, in a market where unfortunately a lot of buyers place more importance on the quality of the infotainment, headlights and back up camera than the driving experience.
Still, the best sports sedan by far and I’ll be keeping mine long term.
The car got two bigger updates. Its one thing to say that its missing infotainment tech stuff but the car got enough updates, maybe more than any other car in its segment.
Should add that I own one and it is AMAZING
The problem is, all the fans of these cars are young and poor, the people with the money to buy it are probably old... so they prefer a less sporty car
I agree with you. Very good video and I appreciate the thought put into it. It really has nothing to do with the car. Never has been the issue. ;) I have owned many Alfa's. I own a Giulia Qv and it has been nothing but reliable and a joy to drive. Best car ever! Most people do not get this brand. It will always be this way and it is why alfa is alfa. Niche market for Niche people or petrol heads.
Good comments which address correctly issues from the driver's car point of view. This is a true driver's car and a probable future classic, especially when the gadgets on other cars have become old and the less favourable dynamics of these other cars have been exposed.
Thank you!
The problem of the Giulia is there are a lot of people who won't buy it:
- AMG or BMW-M won't buy it couse it lacks the prestige
- Tesla costumers won't buy it couse it lacks the gimmicks
- People in the market for a drivers car, not a 500hp track tool
- people who dont have 85.000€
Great Car ❤️❤️ I have bought the Giulia GTA 😉
The car is just next level 🔥🔥🔥 Can‘t wait to be on the track in June 💪🏼
Congrats on your purchase! The GTA is a great great car
Congrats on the GTA. Do you have any info about your LSD? Asking because the facelifted Giulia from 2023 now has a Torsen differential related to the GTA's?
@@nessuno5403 I did not know that. It would be great to confirm. I plan to buy QV this or next year so this is interesting to know.
@@jandolinsky2770 it's 100% certain that the last facelift/update of the Giulia Q now has a mechanical differential. The old setup apparently overheated too much. I am still unsure how similar it is to the GTA (in marketing material Alfa says they learned from this model) and about torque vectoring (I assume that's a software function anyway, and all they did is remove the clutches).
@@nessuno5403 Thanks, this helps and is an additional factor to go for MY2023 or 2024.
5:57 I have a Giulia and it's not called Neutral Mode😂. The 4 modes are
- RACE
- Dynamic
- Natural
- Advanced Efficiency
Kudos to you! I still find it funny when I see Alfa salespeople that get it wrong (even in Italy). It was clear that was going to be the case when we discussed a change of modes at the start of the project.
Read the owners manual
This was an excellent review. I wish I could have the Manual here in the USA. Thank you for your passion 💯
Thank you very much for your comment!
In my view the paddle shifters are better than any manual I've driven. A bit like the steering, you need to get used to some aspects of the Guilia but you won't want to go back once you've lived with them a little while. Light, agile, fast, balanced in corners and really beautiful to look at - what more do people want?
I think the problem in the USA is Alfa has not advertised very much compared to the German cars and it’s a shame they definitely should be more popular brand
Quadrifoglio owner here. Also previously owned a 2.0 giulia and stelvio. Best cars I’ve ever owned! None of them ever gave me any serious issues. All the rumors are exaggerations
People to just need to buy an Alfa and stop listening to Alfa haters.
My dream car
I am the proud owner of a Giulia QV for 5 years now.
The best car I've ever driven and still enjoy every day. A German can't match it. Germans are soulless
As someone who previously owned AMGs... here in Australia I get a lot more comments, a lot more people walking up to me asking "What its that, it's gorgeous!"
Which I don't particularly care about, but it is an observation. The Giulia QV is a car that I can't imagine I'll ever get sick of, and the only plan to sell it would be to get another one.
Oh, and it's been completely reliable. Unlike the AMGs.
Ordered my 3rd Giulia you have it spot on I have had countless Alfas and Fiat’s the Italians always try to make there cars a fun drive from the QV to the 500
Think most people are comfortably num with there German barges
It took six months since you started to review cars to appear on my home, but you picked the right one now.
The Giulia Quadrifoglio is LOVED over the internet of car enthusiasts, and yeah you just got a new subscriber!! Probably this video is gonna get quite some numbers.
Keep it up!!
(I checked the video only to rage against the title tho, it's a little too greedy imho hehe)
Thank you and welcome to the channel! Haha, the title makes it seem like I'm gonna criticize the car, but in reality, I loved it. It's such a cool machine, yet people still don't buy them.
Great review! I’ve been driving a 2023 Veloce for six months and it’s my favorite car I’ve ever owned.
I know about this car and I want to buy one, right now I can’t afford a new one for 80k but I am considering used for 45k. I just recently test drove the Kia stinger GT2 and the price tag is a over 50k with a V6 twin turbo and 368hp, comparing what you get for the money, the used Giulia QV seems like the obvious choice with 150hp more. Thanks you for the great review!
Fernando
Ι know why I didn't buy one: I don't fit (6'5"). Funny enough I fit in my golf, but I could not find a comfortable driving position in a giulia or a giulietta no matter what. And I wanted both.
I think your first guess is correct, most people doesnt care, they’re often even too stupid to pick up on differences between cars.
People don't buy them because they have a reputation for breaking in VERY expensive ways, especially after a few years. They need to get over that reputation first.
4:30 ... this V6 is built from F154 V8 parts so I agree we can say it's a Ferrari (derived) engine, but it's a new design with different bank angle, different turbos (unfortunately these are not twin scroll) and of course completely different engine management. No other F154 engine can switch off one of the cylinders banks as this one does in advanced efficient mode. ...This is what we can learn online from the engine author, the Ferrari, now Alfa Romeo engineer Giuseppe Busso himself.
It's not 'unfortunately' these are not twin scroll. There's an odd number of cylinders (3) attached to each turbo. Single scroll is the most efficient in this case. Twin scroll is for even numbers of cylinders with equal pulses for exhaust scavenging.
I agree with the conclusion: everyone should buy one!
That said, there are some inaccuracies in your review. For starters, it’s named the ‘Giulia Quadrifoglio’ without ‘verde’. So it’s a ‘Giulia Q’ rather than ‘QV’. Then the ‘all terain’ mode you mentioned is in fact ‘advanced efficiency’ - meant to please environmentalists instead of allowing you to off-road your Q. And the title of your video is true when you compare the sales goal of the Giulia vs. the actual sales. However, the Quadrifoglio is an unexpectedly big success. A ‘halo model’ usually accounts for just a few percent of a model’s sales, however, Alfa has at times and in some markets sold more Quadrifoglios than regular Giulias 😮
And I noticed at 7:10 the speedo seems to be broken? 🙈
Haha, the speedo works fine, it's just a small editing trick to avoid fines whilst still letting people know how fast the car is :)
I enjoyed the car for 2 years until the engine blew up at 30k miles. The had to replace the engine which took 45 days and so I got rid of the car afterwards. Prior to that, it was in the shop 10 times for multiple issues. Having said that, it was a magnificent car to drive. Just a piece of s**t to own.
40,000 on my qv never broke down once
@@tsnaha I hope yours never breaks down during your ownership. Best of luck. Just giving my experience so people know about it.
If I could afford one I'd guy it in a heartbeat. The lack of stupid touchscreens etc in the interior is definitely a plus point as well.
The only thing stopping me from buying this car is the lack of money.
Same
Very nice review! Thank you.
The thing with Alfa Romeo is the same with most Italian brands. General people keeps the same mindset from 40 years ago. German's are best and reliable. Italians are worse and unreliable. ...and neither is true.
I own and drive mostly Italian cars for all my life. I prefer them precisely because the way they feel and drive, so I belong to a small minority that knows they're actually reliable and technology advanced on their mechanic solutions.
Getting a Giulia or a Stelvio, will be one of the last opportunities for ourselves, petrolheads to get a proper balanced and fun to drive car (or SUV). ...from now on, they will go all electric and probably heavier and less nimble.
Thank you very much! I've owned my fair share of Italian cars and have had a wonderful experience with them. I hope you'll enjoy other videos on this channel as well.
The actual quality of a car isn't that important, what matters is the perceived quality. The Germans have it, the Italians don't. They only have themselves to blame though.
@@Zero_Ninety Well, the Italian industry, kind of deserved maybe starting in the 70's and through the 80's.
Since them they've kept improving but consumers stuck with the same mindset.
The mindset determines the perceived quality. We go into a German car, look for build quality and find it. We go into an Italian car, look for lower quality details and find them as well. That helps to keep the perceived quality as you say.
However, if we make the simple exercise of reversing the mindset, we also find lower quality materials and poor details in the German cars as well as good quality and fine details in the Italian ones.
This is even an easier exercise in terms of reliability. Many brands share some electronic components from the same suppliers and all suffer similarly from the same electronic problems. As for actual hardcore mechanical reliability and although this changes from model to model, engine to engine, I've been finding Italian cars much better than the German counterparts.
In terms of maintenance and mechanical reliability, the most expensive cars I've ever owned have been Audi and Land Rover.
where did you get a 'manual' Giulia Quadrifoglio? .. This is the most fun car I have ever driven/owned. Feels, handles and sounds AMAZING.. although, in Alfa Rosso, looks better
I have my contacts 😎😂, it’s a fantastic car!
Alfa is the inventor and creator of the sports saloon back in 1955 long before BMW! How things have changed! Alfa was king back in the 1950s & 1960s!
Manual gearbox? What are you talking about? Had no idea it existed. What the QV needs is a convertible 2+2. +2 can be tiny, just so I can fit the dog. It needs to fit the golf clubs in a pass-through as well. Fuck i'd buy that.
It's incredible! They only made a few units for Europe
@@abriatus I'd love to try one. I've not even driven the QV, only the Veloce 😕
Thank god no touchscreen bullshit no i pad junk
Ik you don't love alfa , you don't love cars
If you like Tesla , you don't love cars
Part of an interview of Gianluca Pivetti, Ferrari engineer: A totally new project In this regard, Pivetti would like to point out that this engine is not, as it has sometimes been written, the V8 Ferrari to which two cylinders have been "cut", but that it is a totally new project that has obviously benefited from the experience gained on the engines Ferrari of the F154 series but only to share some peculiarities that we knew would work well: "In reality there are differences, starting with the crankshaft, which has cranks placed at 90 ° on the V8 while here they are at 120 °. So we couldn't just 'cut' a piece ... Clear that has been an active part of the team that designed the V8 Ferrari when I came here I didn't forget all my past! The starting specifications were shared with Ferrari to take advantage of past experiences and shorten development costs and times".
Do you really think Ferrari would allow Alfa to advertise their car as having a Ferrari engine?
Unfortunately while it's a good car but you can't help but say Alfa is still a much smaller brand in terms of presence on the roads in many markets and really many people forget to cross shop it and I believe the company is to blame.
With the exception of the explanation for the A mode (it's 'advanced efficiency' and not 'all weather'), I totally agree with all your comments. I have a 2017 Giulia Q and really love it. Even where I live (northern part of Italy) a Giulia or Stelvio (even a regular model) remains a rare sight, only adding to the occasion if you have one. Let's not forget that maybe 95% of people don't know about cars and just buy a German car to follow the herd.
That setup is intimidating! I can’t wait to own one!
I really like to drive my Honda CRV, but make angry comments online about how if only this or that small detail was changed about whatever sports car, then I would buy it. I want auto companies to launch Supra after BRZ after Giulia after Stinger, just hoping that I would finally buy one, but in the end I want to cravenly waste my disposable income on overpriced apartments and crypto pumps, and I want these auto companies to discontinue these failing sports cars so that I can blame them for the decline of the golden age of driving.
In the end, I will upgrade to a used Tesla Model 3 and start showboating about how gas car owners aren't green enough.
But in the meanwhile, I just want to observe that the fit and finish of the interior of this QV is pretty shabby, and the B pillar is a little too far forward. Also it just doesn't quite have the power of its German rivals, and rear seating room is cramped! Also in the USA there isn't even a manual option, and I've heard it can be hard to get repairs done with a spotty dealer network! If only I could buy one, alas, alas. Driving just isn't what it used to be.
I love specs but I’m afraid that build quality is suspect. I have owned two BMW and ordered a 3rd. This brand isn’t known as quality producing auto manufacturer. And, hasn’t been in the US for long.
Meh IT. Meh reliability. Stellar service costs. No local QV nor 2L manual. It’s beautiful but as a past Alfa owner, pass. A 2L manual would tempt me away from the complete German alternatives I’ve preferred for so many years.
I’d wash the car before shooting a car
video. your tire pressure warning light is ON
This was filmed after a 2 hour road-trip to the racetrack, where the car went round all day, just like it was meant to be used. Tyre pressures were modified for the track, we left the light on as a reminder to inflate them after we left. Cheers!
Ifffff I have the money??
Unfortunately I don't have the money otherwise, God know, there wouldn't be an ifff.
Poor reliability and no dealership networks in America has hurt it reputation and sales
The dealer network is definitely not as evolved, but you're a simpleton repeating cluelessly the "poor reliability" cry. The first production had problems, but no different to say BMW (e.g. S engines' rod bearing failures that affected even the latest G80 Series with other recalls including for the braking system).
Love my QV!
Every car company tries to get as close as possible to german cars because they are efficient, fast, direct with awesome road feel. This dude really said that this Alfa is better than a porsche !? 😂😂😂 Yeah, try again fool.
Great video, honest and factual. I also have a manual one and let me tell you that what I see is that in my country at leas, it is seen as exuberant, an exotic, everyone asks why haven't I bought a Mercedes or a BMW, but they are wrong, all in all the Giulia is the best car in the world still. Its for driving, not a ship filled with screens. Thank you. PS: The dealership is also to blame for having a very poor service,
It’s a money issue. Otherwise I’d not have just one, but at least 2 or 3 green, white and red.🇮🇹🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
I love this car… but it is well beyond my means… and I worry about reliability and upkeep costs… and the difficulty of getting it serviced… I have had several Alfas… most mechanics won't touch them round here… currently have one in fact (159)… it is in the shop… for the second time this year… I rarely get to drive it… and it keeps me poor… but it is gorgeous… but that said… parts are not that much more expensive… and I have found a good mechanic… but he is always backed up… so usually have to wait a month for anything to even get looked at… such is life with an Alfa…
Ever tried a Model 3? My friend (alfa fan) wanted the qf, but after driven a 3, with RWD, he was instantly sold
Love your video style and cant wait for future releases!
Thank you!!
It doesn’t look good in the headlight department, comparing it to models like the Barea, and 159 which should have been rear wheel drive.
No one is going to spend the same money as a m3 on a Alfa while the reputation Of reliability is questionable should of made it considerably cheaper would of sold more units .
You've reviewed a first generation Giulia. After 2019, they've became significantly better on the interior. Better infotainment (with Apple and Android support), more solid, better isolation from the exterior, etc.
That and Fiat I would NEVER consider buying, followed closely by Land Rover/Range Rover!
Very shrewd comment on the involvement aroused by Italian cars , as opposed to the more clinical efficiency of the Germans.
Lovely looking car, got a Guilia too - wish I could have stretched to the Quadrifoglio - it’s next level. Love the rarity of them, the way it handles and looks - shame you can’t get a manual in the UK. Great video, thank you.
Manual...
…..this here is not a consumers car it takes an aficionado to appreciate this beauty….❤️❤️🔥🔥
You better check the statistics upon making such videos. The Giulia Q (not QV... 🙄) is among the best selling performance sedans in Europe. Recently, it was even no 1.
In many Spanish countries, it was referred to as the QV, due to how historic the "Quadrifoglio Verde" name is for Alfa. You can see that for yourself, for example, on Alfa Romeo Mexico's official page: www.alfaromeo.mx/modelos/giulia-quadrifoglio
@@abriatus Yeah, I know this. It stands for Quadrifoglio Verde. Earlier, the top models were called Quadrifoglio Verde. The last one to be called this way was the Giulietta Quadrifoglio Verde. But as a matter of fact, this one's officially called solely Giulia Quadrifoglio, not Quadrifoglio Verde. Hence, Q.
No, l'emblema BMW sullo scudetto, sacrilegio, eresia. No, the BMW emblem on the shield, sacrilege, heresy.😒😒
Looks like a great power house small/medium sedan, but the quality, interior and the rest of the car is far behind my Lexus GS f-sport. Not worth the gamble.
When I need for juice I get a GSF
Nice car. But that's not a drivers car. I'm sure you've read the reviews before buying.
Couldn’t tell this was a new channel. Quality is so great, keep it up!
Thank you!!
Living in Alps, I am looking at it but If it was an awd I will go for it directly but rwd is no go in mountain in winter 😅
Sadly, people want what their neighbour owns. I'm the opposite, I love my QV 😎
Ah the sheep mentality, it's better for us as we stand out whereas BMW and Mercedes is liking owning a commoners' Ford Mondeo in the 1990's
I will buy it sooner or later
Because 🐑🐑🐑 .
This is what you call a car. No nonsense screens, buttons and lights
la giulia quadrifoglia è un'affascinante vettura super sportiva! because of practical reasons I have chosen for the Stelvio Q!
The sheeple follow what the masses are doing and buying and will not think for themselves
The right name is Quadrifoglio, no Quadrifoglio Verde 😉
I can only afford the non QV.
It's still a great car!
Absolutely. Petrolheads talk all the time. But never buy the cars😂.
i love this car but stay true to mercedes for the simple reason that my C is my daily drive and the interior and the working of the options like 360° camera and distronic+ is just a few levels above that of Alfa Romeo.
Absolutely true. I think I mention it in the video, but the infotainment system is the worst aspect of the Giulia.
those functions are useless if you're real car enjoyer
@@shizereg1595 what bullshit is that? those functions are very useful for a car you use daily to go to job... i don't have the budget to buy a weekend only car in that segment...
@@Doa744 yes, without this functions you wouldnt drive forward... ofc they can help, but they arent necessary to drive
@@shizereg1595 lets be clear, for me the C class was more value for money. If you think different that is fine, nobody is stopping you to buy one with your own money
10:02 not gonna lie, it looks pretty cool with a BMW badge, lol
I love mine, but I live in America with the floppy paddles
9:04 would have to disagree! As a Volvo owner, I would say I bought mine because it looks nice and CHEAPER than most European brands - also it’s very reliable. But I would MUCH rather have an Alfa Romeo any day of the week if I could afford it 😂
The quadrifoglio is totally overpriced for what you get….80+ grand for a 6 cylinder.
I mean, that’s true about most of its rivals (M3, RS5), the new C63 is a 4cyl, etc.
Until it breaks down, which won’t take long, accent and all
Burn out mode...
That kind of people don't need to buy it
The stick shift didn't make it to the US what a bummer
Is this Jeff Dahmer really a journalist? Cause I find that hard to believe.
100% verified
Why QV ? It's Q, quadrifoglio, that's it.
It’s funny, you made me check and it appears that it is “just” Q in some markets and QV in others (mainly Spanish Speaking). Historically, Alfa’s four leafed clover cars have been called Quadrifoglio Verde or QV, and looks like it is still called that in markets such as Mexico or Soain. For example, here’s the official Mexico website: www.alfaromeo.mx/modelos/giulia-quadrifoglio/
@@abriatus ok... in Europe, it's only Q, for years. 10 years ago it was QV
This man is so great, must be Argentinian
I’d buy one in a drop of a hat…. If I had the money
By the way it's not quadrifoglio verde, but rather just quadrifoglio. So referring to it as QV is not accurate
Technically true, but Alfa themselves refer to it as QV in press releases and official websites
@@abriatus you will not find a single official reference by alfa romeo as QV. If you do please post the link :)
