So new motors can be good as long as you don't drive them. 😜😜
Scott is the greatest person who l ever lived.
If Scotty designed a vehicle, what should it be called? The Kilmer Classic. CHEAP, has a timing chain, NO BEAUTY ENGINE COVER, 4 cylinder, non-interference engine, A DIPSTICK, manual tire gauge in the glove box, no battery except to start it, no CVT transmission, MANUAL transmission, no GDI fuel injection, fat juicy backup camera, cold AC, clears that speed bump in Scotty's neighborhood, survives the stop sign during lunch hour, manual parking brake, AN ACTUAL KEY to start AND unlock it, made in Japan, no turbo, automatically changes its own oil every 5000 miles, gets great gas mileage except when you drive... like Scotty, has an actual chassis, cloth seats, no sun roof to leak, no plastic stuff, cheap available replacement parts, a GAS CAP, lasts half a million miles, and comes with a trustworthy mechanic like Scotty (with a scan tool). Did I miss anything?
No you did not miss a thing.
Very close to describing an older Mercedes diesel.
NO GDI ENGINE..NOOOOOO !!!!!!
toyota/Lexus badge
Missed fancy backup camera for tree in the driveway 😊
My Alfa Romeo giulia has been FLAWLESS. Viva Alfa!
I had an Alfa Romeo Stelvio for three years. One of the best cars I have owned. I know someone else that has had theirs for two years, not one problem. Give them a chance, they’re great vehicles.
Dude... 2 to 3 years doesn't make them great cars...they probably have hardly any miles....
@@richsweeney1115I don't get the Alfa hate, the first model years of the Giulia did have issues, but 2018 and up their cars are solid. It's pretty hard to find cars that are "unreliable" today.
It's not hate, it's logic. Alfa Romeos are made for people who lease and release. American and European cars are generally totally unreliable and expensive to fix.
@@originalthoth7313 yet BMW is higher than both Honda and Mazda when it comes to reliability ratings now. Cars are more reliable than they ever have been. Fixing cars has never been cheap even with non-luxury brands although luxury brands are still considerably more expensive.
Isn't the Stelvio powertrain pretty simple? I thought it used a SOHC I4 turbo based on a mass produced Stellantis engine and a widely used 8-speed transmission.
My father has an Alfa 156 2.0TS for more than 12 years. 350k km (around 220k miles) with almost zero issues. He drives it daily. I have Alfa Romeo 159 too. : )
Had an alfa 156 also for about 10 year and 256 km. Pretty good car in fact; no rust at all. But maintenance (especially in suspension) needed to be taken care of.
@@henrikvl1704it's because the multilink is a very advanced suspension and requires some special care but is a blessing performance wise
Scotty is the greatest car guy on TH-cam.
By a long shot.
@@andyblank4157 You said it😊
@ThomasKing19933: Beyond doubt;there is nobody that comes even close! 🇺🇸 Roland Singh,Canada 🇨🇦
@@rolandsingh Absolutely agree!
Yup I always take his advice, if only all the mechanics were this honest,,
My wife & I had Alfas for daily drivers for years in the 80's & 90's. As long as you know their quirks & do proper maintenance, they can be wonderful everyday cars! By the way, I still have both my Alfas since the 80's!
ALFA's are wonderful cars - I've had 2 previously, and now have a Giulia.
i currently own both a 156 2.0 jts and a 147 1.6 ts eco. Love them!@@edombre4637
Have had my Giulia since February and put around 40k miles on it. Mechanically speaking the engine, trans and turbo are not the issue, it’s the rest of the Mopar and fiat stuff that has broken and caused me headaches. But at least the Mopar parts are cheap and easy to DIY.
My friend likes his ‘20 Alfa; after a couple of months, it broke and they had to wait six weeks for dealer repairs - he pressured the dealer for $5,000 back and kept the car!
5K BACK AFTER REPAIRS OF 10,K THEY CHARGED?
Italian Junk. 5k Ripoff they got anyway. Junk.
Here in Europe Alfa is getting very good reliability, don't believe everything you ear, Scotty is a nice guy but sometimes speaks to much! 😂
he has a base that he needs to pander to in order to keep the algorithm going.
The ZF transmission plant in Shanghai has been producing automatic transmissions since 2004.
I sure hope I don't have a chinese made ZF 8-speed in my BMW X5 😃
@@mcplutt Better hope you lease and not buy any German cars. A German car is a status symbol of stupidity.
Scotty almost blew the Jeeps transmission at 15:29. No wonder he always talks about Chrysler transmissions failing. Love ya Scotty 😂
I wanted to try something different than a Honda so I went with a Giulia. Great car had it for almost 4 years and put 55K miles on it. I do the oil change myself every 5K and it’s been great!
It's been great because you have no miles.......55k isn't a real test...my fords and hondas have had 250k-370k when I sold them running perfect..my last 5 spd honda accord had about 370k when it gt rearended. My 5 spd civic SI has almost 300k. Runs perfect ..I really dnt feel like you're will g that far, as problem free. They do look nice, and they're fast, I love them. I used to want one till I learned more about them few years ago
@@richsweeney1115 as you can tell from my username I’m a diehard Honda guy. I agree but I’m not going to keep it past 75K miles and that’s pushing it haha Honda and Acura is the way to go
@@richsweeney1115 What kind of driving do you do to put in this many miles??
@@chris4321das I don't buy new....it's a waste of money i got my hondas with about 160k on the accord, and i knew its history because i knew the prson i got it from, and my civic i got with about 230k, i also know the history on the civic. .no matter if I have $300 in the bank, or $50k....I don't like to waste money. But the accord had made a lot og road trips, so hs the cicic so far, the civic is an 09,the accord was an 04
@@richsweeney1115 You aren't the target market for this car.
Me and my Fiance have a Giulia. It took a lot of work to get it back to like new condition at 60,000 miles, and I did it all myself as a mechanic. Fuel pump and module, leaking radiator and coolant tank, oil leak and coolant leak from turbo, some broken interior bits, and it eats through tires like a Tesla because of the torque. I put wider tires in the back to handle the torque. The engine and transmission are very reliable ignoring everything else.
Electric issues, air conditioner issues are typical European car must have problems
Yeah I know a few people with stelvios and gulias, like 3 with over 100k. None of them have had any major issues besides electrical gremlins
Stelvio hates dashcams, or at least mine does. After getting a check engine light I found out the when you turn the car on it runs a check of all the systems and takes about 4-5 seconds. If you have a dashcam plugged in it’ll interfere/interrupt that check because it’s drawing from the battery and will throw codes.
This was likely the 2017 models that had those as common faults but they were rectified in 2018 onwards
I have a 2019 Giulia I bought last year with 29k miles and now have 51k, no issues so far! I don’t plan on keeping it past 120k or so, but I have a feeling it’ll be much less expensive to repair than a similar BMW or Mercedes. A lot of the parts and fluids are shared with Chrysler & Dodge products so they can be found for pretty cheap even though it’s a “premium” car. Just my 2¢.
Bmw n mercedes are still junk built not built good like they used to
Bmw was never good notorious for many failures like British auto manufacturers
Good for you, but 51k miles is nothing
im planning to get a 2020 guilia any advice ?
This is why we love Scotty. Hi Scotty, I'm always appreciative of you, sir.
My neighbours have a 2017 Fiat 500 with over 110k miles since new had only a few electronic issues covered under warranty but mechanically it’s been very reliable.
Scotty sometimes you make a lot of noise for nothing. My 21 stelvio with 62k miles has been a gem with no problems whatsoever. No other vehicle gives me the thrill that this does and I love it.
I don’t believe every review means it applies to ALL cars that he reviews . There will always be most will perform well and some will have issues unique to that vehicle
bro 62k is nothing, come back when it's at 300k
Or even at 100k.@@dragonstalk86
62k miles is nothing......it's amazing what low quality people accept lately......when you have 200k or more..then that's worth bragging about....62k miles isnt.....
@@mrgreenbaypacker529 62k miles is impressive??
I own a 2015 Alfa Romeo Giulietta QV, and very happy!
Yes yes, I had some problem with engine oil pressure sensor and te door grip breaks down.
But you are so happy looking at it and driving it 😁
What was the issue with the oil pressure sensor? I have a QV and it throws low oil pressure warning from time to time.
@@freshjerky1 in my case it was engine oil leakage since the sensor was malfunctioning so did not even get a warning. Replacing the sensor solved the problem.
im currently saving for a giulietta QV. Hope ill find a reliable one in either red or white at a good price when im ready
Hey scotty i have 2015 Buick lacrosse awd with the v6 engine 2 weeks ago drove it from Michigan North Carolina it got 145k miles on it and i was getting 31 miles to the gallon at 77 miles per hour
My stepdad bought a brand new Fiat back in the 70s and bought the extended warranty that included a complimentary loaner car. Because of his purchase the dealership never offered an extended warranty for the rest of the time they ever sold Fiats, and he was always driving a brand new Porsche or BMW as thats all the dealership had for loaners!
18:02 Scotty casually busting out a straight Dr Dre x Snoop Dogg certified classic 🔥😁👌
Love your reviews, Scotty! Keep up the great work ❤
😅
Scotty, can you make a video that teaches us how to find or what questions to ask to figure out if a shop is honest?
There are some People in this world who just have the IT FACTOR and Mr Scottie has an entire mountain of it You can listen to this man all day everyday
Iam thankful for this channel, thanks Scottie. You can explain to us about the cars before we buy!!
Scotty, keep the funnies coming. It keeps my engine running 😂
The Alfa 4 cylinder engine is also available in Jeep Cherokees, so Jeep dealers may be able to work on the Alfas.
in central nj - these alfa romeos are everywhere and everywhere works on them changing oil now.
Mr. SCOTTY i have the same exact model, color and everything. It has 125k miles already and still driving beautifully. I do the oil changes myself every 5k miles. Do you recommend I drain the transmission/axle fluids or just let it be since the miles are so high on it. Thank you
Got to love seeing and hearing Scotty excited for vehicles he normally does not see. 😂
i drove from nc to western Tennessee in my challenger scat pack 6 speed and got 23 mpg. Averaged probably 85 whole way :)
My dad owns a 1980 Alfa Romeo Giulietta, which he had for 42 years now. No major issues over that period except for rust, which was sadly common with older models.
I own a 2020 Alfa Romeo Giulia and it's genuinely the most exciting car I've driven. Oddly, I find that my fuel consumption is lower in dynamic mode than in the other modes, think it's cos the throttle response is better so don't have to put foot down. I get like 9/10 litres per 100km with Shell 95 fuel.
As long as you use the correct oil every 15 000km or year (whichever comes first) and clean or change air filter as well, then there'll be absolutely no issue with the car.
Servicing on time and having a mechanic with good workmanship makes all the difference. Have a 2003 VW Polo for 18 years now with 193 000km with no major issues at all
Hi Scotty, great to see another new video in 2 or 3 days, where others take about 4-5 or a week. I understand that there are other cars than Honda and Toyota that you would try to praise based on your findings. Sure, not a problem. But based on the facts that you laid down its not a daily driver. Thanks but no Thanks. Thank you .
Always interesting videos and learned a lot over the years watching your videos.
I have learned more with Scotty then at any time in my life.
We have a 2013 Jeep wrangler, lifted and outfitted. The Pentastar 3.6 has given me a few headaches over the years, mainly the oil pressure sensors, the oil filter housing adapter and the freedom top leaks when it's rains. Other than that my wife and I daily it, not the most comfortable ride down portlands pothole riddled streets. And lastly the fuel economy, on 35s average 17mpg. All in all, we love our jeep, it's been pretty reliable, but jeep does stand for Just Empty Every Pocket.😅
Pretty reliable? Didnt you say something about a few headaches?
@MrRogvolta considering I have been a mechanic for 25+ years, jeeps are for the most part reliable. The headaches usually stem from the smaller inconvenient items. My wife's wrangler leaks from the freedom tops whenever it rains, although I have changed the seals and gaskets it still leaks from time to time. The occasional check engine light for something that goes away after a day or 2 of driving. I compare it to the early Ford cam phasers, or GMs truck engine piston slap or go even earlier Hondas coil relay that craps out. It's all minor headaches. Unlike European cars that are plagued with electrical problems, overly cramped engine bays and over engineered systems. But each to their own
@modernneanderthal6970 doesn't sound very reliable to me. I get your point, the problem is that you compare american vehicles with European and neither of those are reliable vehicles. Japanese vehicles are the ones you should be comparing when we talk about reliability.
Scotty could you do a video on the top 5 best transmissions and what car(s) has them? Great video!
Any car that has an AISIN transmission.
Had my Alfa for many years. No problems what so ever. Cheap parts. Drove it like mad. High RPM. I think you are living in the past Scotty? And, don't buy parts from the dealer...
I just love your videos.!
Scotty here favored a 4 cy turbo rather than a 6.
Did you see the new 33?WOW..looks great 2 mil..lol 😆
In my Fiat Bravo the German transmission was the worst part.
i really like these cars. something special about alfas that make them worth the pain of less reliability
Driving an abarth right now. Car gives me so much joy, that I am happy to pay the bill of some small extra repair or maintenance things.
$800 just for the fluids? What’s it made of? Unicorn tears? Outrageous price!
Hey, it's our turn to sell you smoke.
We have waited 80 years to have such opportunity while being forced to buy foreign shitty cars that no one remembers.
Most of the things you say on your channel are true, but I do take exception with your assumption that Alfa Romeo is gonna fall apart. My wife and I are on our second Stelvio with absolutely no issues whatsoever. My wife has developed a leadfoot because of, well, you drove the car, so you know. So far, so good, my fingers are still crossed because I am aware of Alfa Romeo in the United States (in Europe, especially in Italy, Alfa Romeo has made extremely reliable cars for decades). By the way, Alfa Romeo was making sport sedans when BMW was making 3 wheel micro cars under license from Italy.
It wont fall apart. It’s manufactured by Chrysler. It wont last as long as a Toyota or Honda by any means, but it’s not a independent company with subpar capabilities slapping together cars anymore. They are owned by a large umbrella company. It’s honestly just a Chrysler product with the name applied.
It’s exactly like the modern Maserati brand. They aren’t falling apart anymore. They are Chrysler vehicles. At least until now. Another manufacturer is taking Maserati over now.
Depends on your definition of reliability. I think Scotty is referring to 100k mile reliability
And if you watched the video he was mainly referring to the cost of maintenence
It never really was a subpar company. It went through some bad times, like virtually every auto manufacturer has at one time or another. The problem was the US market, especially in 1970s and 1980s. Even more specifically, the problem was the company's lack of organization/dealer network in the USA. Alfa was finally bought by Fiat in 1987, I think, after Ford indicated it was interested in the brand. Look up the history of the brand. Henry Ford himself once said, “when I see an Alfa Romeo pass by, I lift my hat.”
"FALL APART FASTER THAN A MARRIAGE". 😂 Scotty is based.
I found a local guy to do maintenance. I bought mine with the warranty. I have an ear to ear smile every time that I get in it. Was worth every penny. I'll buy another Alfa -- but I don't drive a ton.
If you do maintanence outside the dealership the warranty is void.
Besides, the spare parts are not usually available anywhere
@@originalthoth7313 That's not true at all. In fact, that's illegal. The magnuson moss warranty act says that any repairs or maintenance cannot void the warranty unless they are done wrong. Even still, the repair can only void the part of warranty that they worked on. So, an oil change does not void the transmission warranty.
Parts are tough, but retailers like Alfissimo take care of that.
Im a huge mark for those Chrysler Cars, but wish they would do a stripped down version.
Bought a 2019 Giulia Ti Sport last week. Only 23400 miles on her and drives like a dream. She's beautiful but also delicate if not treated right. Theres a time and a place to ride her hard. 😊
pause
Here in the UK my friend and I took his wife's Alfa Mito on a shop trip to a car show. Straight away a warning for the rear shock absorbers came on. They would of been £1800 each if not on a warranty he had!
He bought his wife the top model Quadrifoglio version of the Mito then, produced till late ‘15 so 8 to 13 years old car. They are equipped with Bilstein dynamic shock absorbers that cost around €650 each in EU. An aftermarket set of 4 does around €1000 though. He’d better bought his wife a less complex Mito from a younger age if you’re afraid of high maintenance costs.
@@hape4 yes, I seem to remember some badges on it and him saying it was the top one. Eye-watering, best get rid.
A jeep started up next to me scared me the sound
Hello Scotty, please suggest websites where I can buy used cars. I live in New York County. Thank you in advance.
15:30, he tried to downshift and the car gave him an error lol nothing better than redlining an engine still in its initial break-in period
Enjoy your videos ty Scotty
Would love to hear about the guilia
I’ll listen to Scotty’s words everyday cause he’s the best😊
0:31 We often hear the Italian and German voice when soaking of their cars. We need to hear the Mexican, Chinese, or even Indian voice when referencing them and their “made” cars.
SCOTTY THE LEGEND ❤❤❤❤
18:03 Appropriate song for this segment. Dodge Challenger. . . it's a G thing baby. . . 😉
Someone needs to introduce timestamps to our dear Scottie😁
SCOTTY, Put a 3 litre Milano Verde motor and transaxle in my 1983 GTV6 and that car was awesome! I wish you would do more shows on older cars but love you man💚
I’ve often wondered what Scotty would be like after a few beers.
I got a Jeep Wrangler with the 3.6 Pentastar a year ago and sold it shortly after. That motor is absolute garbage, had to replace rocker arms, oil filter housing, etc. It started having cooing issues, and I said that's it and got rid of it. Worst vehicle I've ever owned.
This Italian almost bought a Stelvio - only problem was the nearest dealer was 60 miles away! Decided on an RDX instead…👍
$80k JEEP LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Scotty it’s 10pm here in Chicago, question is FIAT known to be “Fix it again Tony?” 😂😜🙄
Your good people Scotty really
Hi Scotty,regards from Australia.Terry
If there are no mechanics in USA with knowledge on how to maintain these Alfa Romeos and parts cost 3 times as much as in EU than it doesn’t make sense to buy one.
But they are not bad cars anymore like in the eighties. For little extra money you get a 5 year warranty without limits on miles over here.
your good people Scotty, really
Someone at my job got a slingshot as a daily 😂
That's hilarious
There you go, volume off, now you can listen too me😂
I’ve gotten 26 mpg on my 2017 slingshot SLR 🤷♂️
lol scotty did you just try to downshift at 6000 rpm 15:26?? Thank god for electronic safety systems! That would have been an expensive mistake.
I got a 18 stelvio base q4, has 25k mi. It already needs a new fuel pump and sensor for it. Fr
Wow it gets up and goes dude you pressed the accelerator of course it gets up and goes 15:48
"I'd just drive around and listen that sound all day"... weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Thank s
He said not one bad thing about the challenger but it's in the video titled falls apart faster than a bad marriage lol I know. I know. I must be new here. No I'm not. He does this all the time 😂
Scotty you're m6 favorite youtuber now! 🖤🖤
I never understand why people try to go for high power mopars but when you go Italian that gives you enough eyes not people yelling at you with a loud exhaust.
My Alfa Romeo Guilia is reliable as heck! Not all models of brands are created equal.
Uhh uhhhhh
Lotus, Alfa,, Maserati, all trash!! Don't buy a Mini either...When you test drive you'll love it, but when it breaks it keeps breaking.
13:24 free rent for this week😂
Alfa gets problems after 8 to 10 Year's electrical also some rust starts to pup up if oil changes are not between 7 and 13 thousand miles cylinder rings going bad then oil consumption is higher after 5 years trunk wires going bad mostly broken alfa has only original parts which are expensive it's hard to buy parts online and dealership trying to sell more than you need in 3x Price
Scotty need your help! Got a ce 300 and head gasket blown, should I fix it or not ? Thanks :)
U have to go to his website for questions. I don't think he really interacts much on here
If you can diy? How much mileage?
Does it still run? Price a head gasket set. Do you own a torque wrench and metric sockets and wrenches? Do you own a repair manual for your car?
Can you afford a machine shop to check for warpage on the head(s)and fix or replace? Valve job and guides?
Finally does the car have enough work room to pull off the head(s)in the car?
Or engine must be removed.
Thats about a $2000 question.
Scotty, my guy you failed at the paddle shifters
Scoottttiee Scott maaaaaa man😅
Hi Scotty!! Slow boat?
I used to owned European Car way back in 1980. I really took care of my car and followed the factory maintiance but after 50K everything fall a apart and the parts is 400% marked up back then. I remember the rotor for Volvo 244GL and 760GLE cost $460.00 each plus installation! While Toyota OEM Supra rotor was $64.00 back in 1985. The waterpump of valvo fell apart every 12K as well as muffer! It cost $300.00 for replacement OEM waterpump in 1984 and oil leak were all over the place including rear main seal that took 10 hours to replace and not solved the problem.
I worked with a snob guy who owned a Saab 900 back in 1982. He bragged that he installed remote power door locks and paid a custom body shop to shave off the exterior handles. His battery quit and he had to pay a locksmith to jimmy the door-Hah hah Haa! Then the other shoe dropped. New alternator for $300!
No reman available!
i knew someone who had a Toyota Prius and the hybrid system failed cost ihim around 5k for repairs
Then there was the guy at autozone that was trying to find a gas cap for his 2012 WV Beetle. He did not want the Dealers $85 cap. Hmmm. $18 Chineseium part. The rubber gasket on chineseium gas cap develops a leak in 12-18 months. Cheap Neoprene instead of quality Viton. Throws a low evap code everytime.
@@fromthebackofmymind my brand new 1981 Volvo 244 GL power window fail at 2K when the temp fall at -20F in Cheektowage, NY ! and the car failed to start during the first winter of ownership! I have to pay for flat bed truck. The light bulb failure warning keep poping up and never fixed! The 4th year of ownershio the altnator failed and cost $365.00 with rebuild.
My Arctic Cat Forklift needed a shot of ether every morning in january at -20°F.
Diesels, yup.
highlight 16:09 right there. Scotty is a simple man, who enjoys simple pleasures
Thanks Scotty, he says it as he sees it, calls a ♠️ a ♠️ , no if’s and/or buts.😎
As an alternative profession, he could become a professional conductor with all those hands 🙌🏻 moving all the time.😅🤣
Scotty I can't believe my car major list Dodge Challenger you got me so scared and it's so funny because it's the same color in the same engine except mine is a 2019 with a sunroof I was so relieved that there was no serious problems with the car thank God Almighty amen would love to hear more about the Challenger especially the V6 I also enjoy watching your show very much just so you know🎉
Slingshot made in Osceola Wisconsin 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
What made you move out of Texas ?
Hey Scotty I've been watching you for quite some time. And never knew you were a triplet till today. When I saw your two brother in the corner of the screen at 4:44
88% of the used Stelvios I see for sale in Japan have an automatic transmission paired with a 2,000 or 2,200cc engine. A few have the 2,900cc engine.
Why is the V6 2.9 Bi turbo terrible ?
Alfa is same as fiat and relatively easy to work like a tractor
You are wrong about alfas scotty, nowadays here in europe they are way
More reliable than germans…
