It's all down to where the manufacturer wants to throw more resource at in the end right? I'd much rather have adaptive suspensions, carbon fibre and ceramic fibre over a more refined interior or infotainment system (when everyone's using Apple Car Play anyways).
Couldn't agree more. Nothing worse than a car snob who knows on all that counts that the other car is superior. The only thing they have to critique is the choice of interior plastics... When someone ever says that to me it's normally the first sign that they are a complete tool!
@@vladgradinariu30 On a weekend or track day car I'm in complete agreeance. On a daily driver, I'm not so sure. A solid infotainment for the functions you've got to do outisde of carplay and a nicely trimmed interior will probably matter more on your way to and from work than ceramic brakes and a track ready suspension would. More than that, this Afla seems impossible to recommend based on it's maintenance record. I looked into these while car shopping and it was horror story after horror story. I'll stick with the M3 knowing I'll have little to no issues with it.
wow, hmmmm ... interesting to note as i'm torn between an M2 competition and the QV . I know the QV is more an M3 rival apposed to M2 but still , your comment has made me more leaning towards a QV!!!
@@woutertje026 He's referring what Clarckos said when was driving the Giulia... And he said the car must be seen as human beeing not like a mere object. This is what he meant
I don't prefer Alfa to BMW, since Alfa has been making good looking cars but not good cars the last 20 years. This Giulia is a different story, is a good looking car, but also a great car. And that makes me prefer it over a BMW. But only this one, probably one of the best Alfa Romeo ever made and I am sure it will be a classic and lose less value over the years compared to a M3 or a RS4.
That's definitely a factor. If everybody drove the same car, even a great one, you'd have a clear reason to drive something different, even if slightly less "great.'
Would buy this over the Germans, outside of maybe a AMG Black something. This Alfa just seems to have something special about it. The looks, the passion, the sound. Great car, would love to own.
E63 AMG is the serious woman...she can have fun..but she's serious.. M3 is your ambitious woman..the long term girl with whom you have had three kids and you have tears everytime you see her and think of what she stands for.. Alfa Romeo is that woman you just cheat with..whilst being married with 3 kids and you have no regrets
2 years ago as a 20 year old, I was fortunate enough to be given the keys to a fully optioned 2018 Giulia QV, Carbon Ceramics included. Instantly put it in Race mode & I was blown away, Ive driven some incredible cars ranging in all power/weight tiers. The QV still just had something most others didn't, it was comfortable but surprisingly "engaging" feeling, The 8 Speed transmission was lightening fast, I wasn't expecting the paddle response to be anywhere near as good as it was, the car wanted to slide in low speeds everywhere yet was so easy to maintain or correct the slide. it pushed and pushed and didn't stop, yet you could comfortably drive around town or highway drive without a second thought. One of the greatest 40 minutes of my life.
This car makes me so proud everytime I see it. It's been a long time since Alfa Romeo made such a good car. It makes me very happy to know that this is our answer to other luxurious foreign cars. The Giulia doesn't need anything more. I love it the way it is!
Him and rory should have been the front runners. But I guess they needed the celebrity pull but at least Matt is okay. He needs a little time to get used to presenting.
+paulusgaming bring whatever you can find today that is not a supercar, and try to keep up with an SZ around a track... I know, i have been in one, it is astonishing. That car was not about the looks, it was about the engine, transaxle and group b chassis on which it sits...
Just missed the point completely. The Alfa is more drivable on normal roads and more aggressive on track than an m3. Better than an m3 in both situations.
I have that strange feeling Chris Harris said about Giulia what he had to say, bun not what he wanted to say. This particular review was kind of blurry... Definitely not in Chris Harris style.
Omiros 99 “Giulia QV is a newer car, it took AR years to even keep up with an aged M3”. I’m not sure what point you are tying to make. Are you saying that because a car designed later than an older one that it has an advantage some how? Take the M3. I’ve driven the “aged” F80 M3 that you talk about (only launched 2 years before the QV by the way) and in my opinion it isn’t as good a car as it’s predecessor the e92 M3 ( I owned an 2010 e92 and absolutely loved it but now have a QV and it is without doubt the best car I’ve ever driven). I guess my point is the M3 and QV are both great cars and I don’t get all this “ my brand is the best and your’s is trash”. Anyone who has owned these cars will tell you the same.
Omiros 99 Why are you trying to make your case from other people’s opinions (have you ever driven an M3 or a QV?). The F80 M3 you talk about was only launched 2 years before the QV (hardly aged). Who mentioned looks? I bought my QV for how it drives period although many people have come up to me to say how nice the car looks. And as far as Chris Harris is concerned then for someone who is a German car fanatic, he’s said some very complementary things about the QV. Finally if you want to compare the QV’s engine to anything in it’s class today then bring it on. Reliability wise then 2018/2019 owner survey reports like What Car put Alfa above all of their German competitors (maybe Alfa’s were unreliable 20 years ago but not anymore). With 5 years warranty, 3 years free servicing I’m very happy with my QV and in 18 months it has been totally reliable unlike the e39 M5, e92 M3 and most recently M2 that I’ve owned. None had major issues but all were in the garage unlike the Alfa that has had it’s regular service. Maybe one day you’ll get a chance to drive and own an M3 and I’m sure you will love it (BMW make great cars) but you make yourself look daft by regurgitating other people’s opinions.
Stop disliking the videos cause Clarkson and other Chris. Chris doesn't work with Top Gear anymore and Clarkson was fired for that punch how long ago? Get over it. At this point you're not here for the love of cars, but for the love of drama.
they're getting dislikes because there shit and the reason they're shit is because after Clarkson got fired they never chose a good replacement....but hey that's just my opinion
+StereotypedFilms i strongly suggest you do some research into the history of Alfa Romeo, before making an idiotic statement about Alfa being a shit brand in the past... Just a few fun facts for ignorant buffoons like you, Alfa had a very very successful racing team as early as 1923. Was it not for Alfa, or more specific, Enzo Ferraris extraudinary admiration for Alfa, Ferrari never would have existed. The first cars used by the Scuderia Ferrari team was in fact Alfa Bimotores. During the evolution of the brand, nearly every new model released had at least one innovation unseen on other brands. During the 80's Alfa dominated not only group 1 racing in the GTV6, but also had great success with the same car in WRC. During the 90's, the Alfa 155 TI V6 annialated everything in the DTM races. Alfa not only produced one of the worlds longest produced and most successfull 4 cylinder engines, but also easily one of the worlds best V6 engines, and probably the worlds best sounding V6..
I ended up buying a car from the first batch of QV In the USA in May 2017 and ended up absolutely loving it. It was a lease so I returned it in 2020. Then I ended up buying a Stelvio 2.0 which I kept for 4 years then this year I again bought a brand new QV in Montreal Green and still love driving it everyday. Now I own Huracan Tecnica and 992 GT3RS and I absolutely love driving this as well and not even one issue or trip to the shop in 7 years. It's a once in generation car. BMW M3 is a cookie cutter generic car. this IS SPECIAL
more dull and now he pronounces every word so clearly it is annoying. Big screen voice lessons and then movies or some shite. Maybe he will start rapping ? ;@
I don't have a problem with Harris or anything like that but his youtube videos are full of slow-mos and are meant to be all refined and smooth. Top Gear videos are meant to be fast-exciting and pacy with the presenters being extravagant rather than subtle.
It has the Chris Harris & Neil feel (same as Chris Harris on Cars channel). I like it, I prefer it. Some people enjoy flashy graphics and ADHD syndrome quick camera angle changes mixed in with tired and greying senior card holding jokers wistfully narrating in a comical analogous manner why they do or do not care about unrelated social order. Cheers Chris to bringing something to the table. Something is always better than nothing, aye Clarkson Hammond and May.
Chris Harris "If you look at every single discipline in performence, most of them BMW and Mercedes do it a little bit better, you ask me. [...] So is it as good as BMW M3? Objectively, I think no". Well, Chris, what do you mean by "objectively"? After all, Gulia QV is the only sedan known to the world that did the Nurburgring in 7:32 (TCT 8-speed gearbox).
Triktensap Mirulosu every other review I have read has said the Giulia has better driving sensations than the m3 which loses to even the c63 in a lot of reviews these days. The m3 has come out last in three way comparisons more than either the c63 or the Giulia. It's a crap m3
BMW M3 GTS did it for 7:27... and soon the new M5 will be tested. I rly like the design of the Giulia, it's a nice car but... Alfa will never have the driving pleasure of the BMW. And D - of course M3 may lose on some disciplines from the C63... C-class got V8 and way more power than inline 6 in M3.. but that will change soon
Todor Ivanov that's a striped out 3 door coupe version, why would u put the nurburgring lap time for that car when it's clearly not the competitor for the Giulia Quadrofoglio
+PaganiZondaF650hp I know, Chris Harris is very, to the point. focused on delivering every detail spot on, which makes it good. but it doesn't feel like a Top gear review

Yeah, money is always a matter. Anyways, I don't need a Quadrifoglio. I would be more than happy with Veloce Q4. Unfortunately it's still over £45.000 including options worth of paying for. I'm not a guy who sleeps peacefully while being on debt, so car loan is not an option. Hence, no Giulia for next few years.

Loving that Chris Harris is back on youtube doing what he does best - reviewing cars. This isn't the TV show "Top Gear" moved online, this is a space for a more detailed look at cars (talk about dampers, discuss how much rubber is in the suspension setup, etc.) I don't *want* people to try and replace the old "top gear trio" - they had a unique dynamic that formed the show in a particular way. This new Top Gear needs to find its voice too, and with people like Chris Harris involved I'm excited to see how it evolves.
He used to do reviews for /Drive and was the only presenter that interested me in the new Top Gear when they were all announced. Car people tend to take Chris Harris's opinion a lot more seriously though than other reviewers (like the old trio)
his credentials span a lot more than just drive.. he was a car journalist for a few of the british magazines since 1990 working for auto car.. and evo as a writer.. i used to read these magazines when i was growing up.. then he made the transition to youtube and video. what he knows and how he delivers his information is clinical.. doesnt anyone remember what the old 90s top gear was like before clarkson wrecked it?
And another thing about Chris Harris. His driving skills are beyond epic. Very few can match how me makes Ferraris dance on their edges on race tracks.
I've got this car for half a year - it's outstanding :) 100% agree with Chris. also after facelift Alfa improved a lot in materials and comfort. I really recommend it.
Chris Harris is good in his niche. Non stop chatter about the cars info, specs, etc, on TH-cam videos. But for top gear no. I don't remember clarkson, hamster or cap slow being so chattery, and they made top gear really work.
things change. remember top gear started as a consumer advice show. it was always quite technical to help buyers. just watch some of the retro shows. clarkson changed it to a comedy show which has it's merit but there will always be room and necessity for a technical oriented show. and Chris doesn't even talk all that technical anyway. he is well balanced and touches a lot of emotional aspects of the car in question.
Nour Hasona obviously it was riveting enough to propel you to spend sometime commenting on it. How does trolling pay these days? is it a good alternative to a proper job?
Is it Alfa Romeo-y in person? :) As in sumptous tan or red leather lounge chair like seats and so on? It comes across on video as being too much like an imitation BMW, without the traditional Alfa flair.
Its stunning in person. Especially in metallic red with the deep red brake calipers with the faint white Alfa Romeo vintage - style script written on them. It also looks smaller than the bulky new M3`s. If you like Alfas you will most likely love this.
love the "Chris Harris on cars" editing, its suits Harris's personality doing it this way rather than the regular top gear editing style of dramatic effects and explosions ect ect...

Stop the mith. I had: Alfa 164, not a problem, a 166 ( may be the best car I ever had ) not a problem, a Mito QV not a problem. Mi wife had a Mini S, worst car we ever had, full of engine issues (BMW Peugeot rubbish thp engine) and now she have a Audi a1, steering and ecm already failed.
Sebastián Demaría I think it's all luck, in my family.. 00' 156 lusso no problems at all, 04' 156 Ti every problem you could think of, 08' Saab 93 no problems, 13' Audi A4 no problems, 16' Audi A4 MMI software issues... I really do think it's all a matter of luck how good or bad a car is going to be!
My dad had a 166 and every week a new problem with the electronic. A friend had a Mito and like my dad a new problem every week. My sisters Mito doesnt have any problems. Sometimes youve got luck, sometimes not.
The Giulia Quadrifoglio is an awesome car but it has had multiple issues since it was released. It's reliability has been terrible. It is a great looking car that sounds sooo much better that the current M3/M4. Regarding reliability, it seems everyone has unique experiences. My current car is a 16' Audi S3. My previous cars in order are: -14' VW Golf GTI -12' Audi S5 Cabriolet -10' BMW X6 -08' BMW M3 Coupe The only issues I had were with the S5 Cab. I had a motor for the cabrio top fail which was replaced under warranty. I also had the hydraulic steering fail which was also under warranty. Both issues were fixed quickly. I have not had a single issue with any of the other cars. It is very possible I have been lucky. However, I would not want to own one of these cars after the warranty runs out. This is why I either lease my cars or get rid of them before the warranty expires.
I don't if TG has been paid off by BMW because honestly, most of what Chris is saying doesn't make much sense to me. I've owned and an M4 for a while and have swapped it with my friend's M3 occasionally and I thought the steering was just a bit too light. Also, the exhaust is not very prominent as you would have expected in a car such as that. Due to damaging my M4 and wanting an Alfa for ages, I have switched over to the Giulia QV and I have not been disappointed. The steering is just bang on. It's precise and as heavy as it should be in a sports car of this caliber. I would also like to mention that it feels better in corners, however that is my opinion. The engine sounds magical and on the Nürburgring it set the fastest lap for a sedan, which makes me wonder. I think the whole controversy with Elon Musk was because of something like this as well. Now, I don't know Chris very well but have been told that he is honest most of the time regarding his reviews and since he switched over to Top Gear, his credibility might actually be questionable. Not because of himself but because of the producers and whatnot. Plus, most people that I know who have driven both cars have told me that the QV is honestly better and if you look at several reviewers' thoughts on this, they seem to agree as well. Even if it isn't as good,which it is, as an M3 as Chris says, I think he misses the point. This car marks the revival of a long lost automotive legend and they all have heard them roar.
Alfa is never rubish. All cars break down (except maybe my Saab).. But i would buy almost any Alfa just because of their design. They are unique. When Saab sadly got bankrupt because of GM and the Swedish goverment.. Well, then theres only Alfa Romeo left on this planet that actually seem to have a car designer who design their cars. Evry other car maker looks EXACTLY the same. Boring, boring and boring. Ofc you can name some supercars with cool design and uniqueness. But im talking about cars that evry day people can buy here, in other words. Not supercars. And to me its only Alfa who still make regular cars that also looks good.
Amen; like Jeremy C. said with his brilliant,spot on wit, BMW's etc.look like a businessman's briefcase, meaning they all look alike! Alfa's give and have that inner feeling other hot shot brands do not. Alfa's mainly were for those not needing a S 600 Benze etc, but for those who truly loved to drive. Had my 1st Alfa in 72, a 63 spider. Next 1989 a wonderful 1983 GTV-6 ( 7,000 original miles.). 1 never any issues after some Shankle mods when it was sold it had 155,000 and running fine.Then a 94 spider. My Only problem was finding a true Alfa mechanic (USA)! Like Jeremy always said,you have to own an Alfa if a true petrol head.On a talk show he said the car he regretted selling over all he has owned, was his GTV-6!
I'm clinging onto my 3rd Saab since 1990 and when I finally have to use something else during the week it will be an Alfa. I want a good looking car and the Germans don't know how to cater for that.
I just like it, its the funky look that I like the most, I have seen them in the wild and they are unique and not actually a bad car at all if not excellent. Even the 2.0 Ti is pretty decent if you cannot afford the 2.9L QF.
Nice looking car inside and out. Looks like a Italian designer suit on wheels. Nice sounding Big Beefy engine and it's a modern Italian car. perfecto! Approved!
Yeah, i think some of the Dislikes are just due to the fact that their not true petroheads. Therefore haven't a clue about how cool Chris Harris actually is. So Here's Chris, A True car guy, yes. Knows each model, and characteristic, yes. Can drive like hell, yes. Can talk your ear off, yes. Is a true Car Reviewer, backed up by his fabulous writing. Yes. Has an almost miraculous ability to talk Car company's into lending him their best cars, and they include Tires. Sometimes a crew to make sure He's getting all he can possibly get out of their cars. He Isn't the second coming, but maybe 3rd, 4th? I hope they give him some other personalitys to work with.
Bought a 2018 Giulia TI sport in Competizione red a few months ago.. absolutely in love with the Giulia’s.. kept telling myself I didn’t need a QF - but I do. I need it. I want the power. But if anyone is on the fence between Alfa and it’s competitors, go take a test drive. I’ve never owned anything sportier than a q60 IPL and 08 mustang before this car.. but the Giulia’s handle amazingly. Such a fun car to drive, every day I love it more. And style is subjective but IMO they are gorgeous cars when packaged together the right way. A work of art compared to other manufacturers.. something I think only Italians can pull off 🇮🇹
Dunno if that is wise. I don't mind humor, but they kinda gave old trio routines to the new hosts and rather see them Develop something that fits the character for Harris if that is the case.
No, please not. Chris Harris has his own style of representing the cars. He isn't as good as Clarkson but better than any other. Chris Evans tried to bring more humor, so that he imitates Clarkson and this was awful...
Clarkson's trash compared to Chris Harris. At least Chris Harris knows what he's talking about when it comes to cars. Clarkson was a bloviating buffoon, albeit with a decently funny delivery.
As Italian, finally Alfa has done something top with Giulia and Stelvio Quadrifoglio! Cars to be proud of.... And sorry Germans but our class and ability to make sport cars is second to none.! I get this over Bmw M, Merc amg or Audi RS. This car have soul and is made with Italian passion and heiritage something that German cars simply can't imitate.
The rubber in the chassis that chris talks about is one of the reasons the car is so great on the road. The ride is amazing, yet incredibly planted and razor sharp at the same time.
I must say that the best thing about watching Chris Harris review a car is that he can really drive. His cornering or drifting can make a car even more beautiful! Very good work. (tho his driving position and camera angle in this on makes you feel cramped)
bassoumsamsoum exactly how is it pathetic ? No explosions ? No bad cuts hiding the drivers whilst going sideways because none of the three have the talent ? To many multi syllable words perhaps ? Go get your prime membership and watch the grand tour.
Why is it pathetic? No, not because of the lack of syllables. Its because of just how Chris Harris has been restrained by Top Gear. His quality of work was multiple times better when he was more independent with Drive. Oh and one more thing - I already got my prime membership and I can't wait for the Grand Tour
Joseph Allen. Yes. I agree. As well as being camera friendly, he is very knowledgable about his work. He knows his stuff! Seems like a cracking guy who knows, loves, lives and breathes cars. Top man!!!
I would love it if new tg would manage to be something like early seasons of chm tg. So entertaining but informative. Those first few seasons were my favorite. I still watch them occasionally.
It's Top Gear, not just some random Car Show. There are a million Show's like this ..it was just the Chemistry between those 3 Idiots and the love of Cars that made Top Gear great ..if you ask me, they should change the Name of the Show and all the Top Gear Fanboys will move on ...And i can't wait for GT :))
i know everyone is talking about how people are disliking this vid for no reason but can we acknowledge that this is a 2017 alfa romeo with a 505hp v6 twin turbo that has manual transmission seriously that is probably the most badass thing about this car
I have this beast for almost 11 months now. Not even one issue. NOT EVEN ONE. I had M3 F80 before this one and all I did with it was to drive it to the BMW service center. i would take this one any day of the week.
This is exactly what Top Gear needed to become. We have the Grand Tour coming in a few weeks now and there's no way that Top Gear will compete directly with that. Becoming a more car focused show is a great move, more Chris Harris is needed me thinks.
The feel of that car on the road in every day conditions will be more comfortable that a M3 .People forget cars are form of transport and need to hold comfort about anything else . There is no reason to get a cars ass out at 160kph and drive it like a maniac.I drive my cars hard but aim not hard on them.That Alfa will be amazing and more enjoyable for a long distance drive than an M3 believe me this is because the car has lent more to comfort than the M3 but still has amazing performance.That is the type of car I like I can't stand an out and out performance car.
"If you're buying a car based on the interior materials you're nuts anyway"
There is so much truth in that.
Thank you Chris.
JPThe Hoff i honestly love thr interior on my stelvio
Yeah I never understood that. Like people go around rubbing the plastic panel under the dash and instrument panel.
It's all down to where the manufacturer wants to throw more resource at in the end right? I'd much rather have adaptive suspensions, carbon fibre and ceramic fibre over a more refined interior or infotainment system (when everyone's using Apple Car Play anyways).

E63 AMG is the serious woman...she can have fun..but she's serious..
M3 is your ambitious woman..the long term girl with whom you have had three kids and you have tears everytime you see her and think of what she stands for..

2 years ago as a 20 year old, I was fortunate enough to be given the keys to a fully optioned 2018 Giulia QV, Carbon Ceramics included. Instantly put it in Race mode & I was blown away, Ive driven some incredible cars ranging in all power/weight tiers. The QV still just had something most others didn't, it was comfortable but surprisingly "engaging" feeling, The 8 Speed transmission was lightening fast, I wasn't expecting the paddle response to be anywhere near as good as it was, the car wanted to slide in low speeds everywhere yet was so easy to maintain or correct the slide. it pushed and pushed and didn't stop, yet you could comfortably drive around town or highway drive without a second thought. One of the greatest 40 minutes of my life.
I agree I've owned my 18 QV since April and it's truly an excellent sport sedan..
This car makes me so proud everytime I see it. It's been a long time since Alfa Romeo made such a good car. It makes me very happy to know that this is our answer to other luxurious foreign cars. The Giulia doesn't need anything more. I love it the way it is!
C'mon guys...this is Chris Harris. Best Top Gear presenter.
Ya, he is the king but Clarkson is a god!
nobody cares
L
yeah...poor guy
Him and rory should have been the front runners. But I guess they needed the celebrity pull but at least Matt is okay. He needs a little time to get used to presenting.
Alfa makes such sexy cars now it's unbelievable.
and it drives good, tested the diesel version and even that car was fun as hell to drive. quality is also on point.
alfa has always made sexy cars
+barfyman362 i think alfa has beautuful cars, but they have made some shite ones too tbf, think about the arna or sz for instance.
+paulusgaming bring whatever you can find today that is not a supercar, and try to keep up with an SZ around a track... I know, i have been in one, it is astonishing. That car was not about the looks, it was about the engine, transaxle and group b chassis on which it sits...
namibgtv6 still, nothing for me. i like my other alfas more.
Just missed the point completely. The Alfa is more drivable on normal roads and more aggressive on track than an m3. Better than an m3 in both situations.
I have that strange feeling Chris Harris said about Giulia what he had to say, bun not what he wanted to say. This particular review was kind of blurry... Definitely not in Chris Harris style.
Jeremija Krstić c
Lexus Troller so what did you prefer about the M3 vs the Alfa Quadrifoglio when you drove them?
Omiros 99 “Giulia QV is a newer car, it took AR years to even keep up with an aged M3”.
I’m not sure what point you are tying to make. Are you saying that because a car designed later than an older one that it has an advantage some how? Take the M3. I’ve driven the “aged” F80 M3 that you talk about (only launched 2 years before the QV by the way) and in my opinion it isn’t as good a car as it’s predecessor the e92 M3 ( I owned an 2010 e92 and absolutely loved it but now have a QV and it is without doubt the best car I’ve ever driven).
I guess my point is the M3 and QV are both great cars and I don’t get all this “ my brand is the best and your’s is trash”. Anyone who has owned these cars will tell you the same.
Omiros 99 Why are you trying to make your case from other people’s opinions (have you ever driven an M3 or a QV?). The F80 M3 you talk about was only launched 2 years before the QV (hardly aged). Who mentioned looks? I bought my QV for how it drives period although many people have come up to me to say how nice the car looks. And as far as Chris Harris is concerned then for someone who is a German car fanatic, he’s said some very complementary things about the QV.
Finally if you want to compare the QV’s engine to anything in it’s class today then bring it on. Reliability wise then 2018/2019 owner survey reports like What Car put Alfa above all of their German competitors (maybe Alfa’s were unreliable 20 years ago but not anymore). With 5 years warranty, 3 years free servicing I’m very happy with my QV and in 18 months it has been totally reliable unlike the e39 M5, e92 M3 and most recently M2 that I’ve owned. None had major issues but all were in the garage unlike the Alfa that has had it’s regular service.
Maybe one day you’ll get a chance to drive and own an M3 and I’m sure you will love it (BMW make great cars) but you make yourself look daft by regurgitating other people’s opinions.
Has anyone noticed how stunning this Alfa looks in NAVY BLUE?! Never seen anything like this in my entire life.
And nearly half a decade later it still looks gorgeous- in any colour!
Stop disliking the videos cause Clarkson and other Chris. Chris doesn't work with Top Gear anymore and Clarkson was fired for that punch how long ago? Get over it. At this point you're not here for the love of cars, but for the love of drama.
Exactly
they're getting dislikes because there shit and the reason they're shit is because after Clarkson got fired they never chose a good replacement....but hey that's just my opinion
Well said!
+David McMahon thank you
+moman I will always be a Harris fan though...and while I miss the "big three" Harris is enough to keep me watching...for the moment at least..
I owned a 164 quadrifoglio and i have to say alfa makes the most amazing sounding v6 I've ever heard. Would love to see one of these in real life.

🔱🔱🔱🔱🔱🔱🔱🔱🔱🔱🔱
Fun fact: the alfa has the timing gear on the right end of the motor.
+StereotypedFilms i strongly suggest you do some research into the history of Alfa Romeo, before making an idiotic statement about Alfa being a shit brand in the past... Just a few fun facts for ignorant buffoons like you, Alfa had a very very successful racing team as early as 1923. Was it not for Alfa, or more specific, Enzo Ferraris extraudinary admiration for Alfa, Ferrari never would have existed. The first cars used by the Scuderia Ferrari team was in fact Alfa Bimotores. During the evolution of the brand, nearly every new model released had at least one innovation unseen on other brands. During the 80's Alfa dominated not only group 1 racing in the GTV6, but also had great success with the same car in WRC. During the 90's, the Alfa 155 TI V6 annialated everything in the DTM races. Alfa not only produced one of the worlds longest produced and most successfull 4 cylinder engines, but also easily one of the worlds best V6 engines, and probably the worlds best sounding V6..
The best car in his class.
I ended up buying a car from the first batch of QV In the USA in May 2017 and ended up absolutely loving it. It was a lease so I returned it in 2020. Then I ended up buying a Stelvio 2.0 which I kept for 4 years then this year I again bought a brand new QV in Montreal Green and still love driving it everyday. Now I own Huracan Tecnica and 992 GT3RS and I absolutely love driving this as well and not even one issue or trip to the shop in 7 years. It's a once in generation car. BMW M3 is a cookie cutter generic car. this IS SPECIAL
I actually clicked this thinking it was Chris Harris on cars xD
Effectively, it is CHoC
at the end of the video I was wondering about all the dislikes and then I realized that this was uploaded on the topgear channel
it is Chris Harris on cars but with bigger budget :D
It IS Chris Harris On Cars but only with a different name and a much bigger budget.
No, it the artist formerly known as Harris, now following the corporate line.
I liked before the video even started. How can you dislike a Chris Harris video with a drifting thumbnail?

This doesn't feel like Top Gear, it feels like Chris Harris on Cars. It's a different style completely.
Chris Harris on cars, cool. Top Gear, fail. Alfa..who?
more dull and now he pronounces every word so clearly it is annoying. Big screen voice lessons and then movies or some shite. Maybe he will start rapping ? ;@
I don't have a problem with Harris or anything like that but his youtube videos are full of slow-mos and are meant to be all refined and smooth. Top Gear videos are meant to be fast-exciting and pacy with the presenters being extravagant rather than subtle.
That's completely the point to and the reason he doesn't do these long reviews on the regular show.
It has the Chris Harris & Neil feel (same as Chris Harris on Cars channel). I like it, I prefer it. Some people enjoy flashy graphics and ADHD syndrome quick camera angle changes mixed in with tired and greying senior card holding jokers wistfully narrating in a comical analogous manner why they do or do not care about unrelated social order. Cheers Chris to bringing something to the table. Something is always better than nothing, aye Clarkson Hammond and May.
I'd take that car over any BMW.

@@saidalas8381 Loser statement
@@saidalas8381 why is that you comment on every site that mentions alfa romeo your a joke sad sad man
Chris Harris "If you look at every single discipline in performence, most of them BMW and Mercedes do it a little bit better, you ask me. [...] So is it as good as BMW M3? Objectively, I think no". Well, Chris, what do you mean by "objectively"? After all, Gulia QV is the only sedan known to the world that did the Nurburgring in 7:32 (TCT 8-speed gearbox).
going faster around a track does not make it better, chris is focusing in driving sensations
Triktensap Mirulosu every other review I have read has said the Giulia has better driving sensations than the m3 which loses to even the c63 in a lot of reviews these days. The m3 has come out last in three way comparisons more than either the c63 or the Giulia. It's a crap m3
BMW M3 GTS did it for 7:27... and soon the new M5 will be tested. I rly like the design of the Giulia, it's a nice car but... Alfa will never have the driving pleasure of the BMW. And D - of course M3 may lose on some disciplines from the C63... C-class got V8 and way more power than inline 6 in M3.. but that will change soon
Todor Ivanov that's a striped out 3 door coupe version, why would u put the nurburgring lap time for that car when it's clearly not the competitor for the Giulia Quadrofoglio
Todor Ivanov at least compare it to the new M3 CS or the M3 competition package. FYI there is no M3 GTS of the current generation M3
it feels like a Car and Driver review, not a Top Gear one, really, after 20+ series of Jeremy Clarkson, there is no replacement
it feels like a Chris Harris review, which is perfect. No need for him to imitate Clarkson or so.
+PaganiZondaF650hp I know, Chris Harris is very, to the point. focused on delivering every detail spot on, which makes it good. but it doesn't feel like a Top gear review

It's not meant to be a Top Gear review. It's something much, much better. An actual, proper, review of a car.
This guy just made me buy that car...if i had the money. Very convincing
Rob a bank
Get one on finance it's going to get repossessed but you will have the car for a few months before that happens
Yeah, money is always a matter. Anyways, I don't need a Quadrifoglio. I would be more than happy with Veloce Q4. Unfortunately it's still over £45.000 including options worth of paying for. I'm not a guy who sleeps peacefully while being on debt, so car loan is not an option.
Hence, no Giulia for next few years.

then why do i read in so much car magazines that the M3 drives better than giulia?
Alfa Romeo: The Top.
Loving that Chris Harris is back on youtube doing what he does best - reviewing cars.
This isn't the TV show "Top Gear" moved online, this is a space for a more detailed look at cars (talk about dampers, discuss how much rubber is in the suspension setup, etc.)
I don't *want* people to try and replace the old "top gear trio" - they had a unique dynamic that formed the show in a particular way.
This new Top Gear needs to find its voice too, and with people like Chris Harris involved I'm excited to see how it evolves.
Idk who this guy is but he's way better then the others.
Seen plenty of car videos, I probably have seen one by him before just don't recall his name.
He used to do reviews for /Drive and was the only presenter that interested me in the new Top Gear when they were all announced. Car people tend to take Chris Harris's opinion a lot more seriously though than other reviewers (like the old trio)
trust me dude, search up his old channel he has some incredible videos up there.. the f40 + f50 video was particularly amazing
his credentials span a lot more than just drive.. he was a car journalist for a few of the british magazines since 1990 working for auto car.. and evo as a writer.. i used to read these magazines when i was growing up..
then he made the transition to youtube and video.
what he knows and how he delivers his information is clinical..
doesnt anyone remember what the old 90s top gear was like before clarkson wrecked it?
And another thing about Chris Harris. His driving skills are beyond epic. Very few can match how me makes Ferraris dance on their edges on race tracks.
I've got this car for half a year - it's outstanding :) 100% agree with Chris. also after facelift Alfa improved a lot in materials and comfort. I really recommend it.
How is maintenance?
Been looking at a boxster, but with 2 kids it's a silly idea. So here I am wondering what the running costs are like also with the quadrifoglio?
Can't believe this video is 4yrs old now and im still in love with that alfa
Excited to finally come here as a Quadrifolgio owner 🥳
The car is absolutely amazing.
Chris Harris is good in his niche. Non stop chatter about the cars info, specs, etc, on TH-cam videos.
But for top gear no. I don't remember clarkson, hamster or cap slow being so chattery, and they made top gear really work.
things change. remember top gear started as a consumer advice show. it was always quite technical to help buyers. just watch some of the retro shows. clarkson changed it to a comedy show which has it's merit but there will always be room and necessity for a technical oriented show. and Chris doesn't even talk all that technical anyway. he is well balanced and touches a lot of emotional aspects of the car in question.
Chris is 100 times better than those 3 losers.
Your opinion is not needed since it is obviously a very ridiculous statement.
Nour Hasona obviously it was riveting enough to propel you to spend sometime commenting on it. How does trolling pay these days? is it a good alternative to a proper job?
He use to be a racer so he is incredibly knowledgeable when it comes to pairing the cars specs and characteristics. I like it.
i m 5 mins in the video and waiting for someone to talk about how gorgeous that thing looks!
Is it Alfa Romeo-y in person? :) As in sumptous tan or red leather lounge chair like seats and so on? It comes across on video as being too much like an imitation BMW, without the traditional Alfa flair.
Its stunning in person. Especially in metallic red with the deep red brake calipers with the faint white Alfa Romeo vintage - style script written on them. It also looks smaller than the bulky new M3`s. If you like Alfas you will most likely love this.
I dont like the front at all rear is kinda nice tho
love the "Chris Harris on cars" editing, its suits Harris's personality doing it this way rather than the regular top gear editing style of dramatic effects and explosions ect ect...
Stop the mith. I had: Alfa 164, not a problem, a 166 ( may be the best car I ever had ) not a problem, a Mito QV not a problem. Mi wife had a Mini S, worst car we ever had, full of engine issues (BMW Peugeot rubbish thp engine) and now she have a Audi a1, steering and ecm already failed.
They live of stereotypes those idiots
Sebastián Demaría I think it's all luck, in my family.. 00' 156 lusso no problems at all, 04' 156 Ti every problem you could think of, 08' Saab 93 no problems, 13' Audi A4 no problems, 16' Audi A4 MMI software issues... I really do think it's all a matter of luck how good or bad a car is going to be!
Im Italian i know very well alfa, the old alfa are amazing car but not very reliable, the current models are much more reliable.
My dad had a 166 and every week a new problem with the electronic. A friend had a Mito and like my dad a new problem every week. My sisters Mito doesnt have any problems. Sometimes youve got luck, sometimes not.
The Giulia Quadrifoglio is an awesome car but it has had multiple issues since it was released. It's reliability has been terrible. It is a great looking car that sounds sooo much better that the current M3/M4.
Regarding reliability, it seems everyone has unique experiences. My current car is a 16' Audi S3. My previous cars in order are:
-14' VW Golf GTI
-12' Audi S5 Cabriolet
-10' BMW X6
-08' BMW M3 Coupe
The only issues I had were with the S5 Cab. I had a motor for the cabrio top fail which was replaced under warranty. I also had the hydraulic steering fail which was also under warranty. Both issues were fixed quickly. I have not had a single issue with any of the other cars. It is very possible I have been lucky. However, I would not want to own one of these cars after the warranty runs out. This is why I either lease my cars or get rid of them before the warranty expires.
A m3 would not win against this beast.
This video must be 'liked' just because of Chris Harris :)
me too haha
He's goood
Chris Harris and Rory Reed are the shows life lines.
This video should be taken down and the old top gear should come back
i dislike it because its chris harris...
have u ever watched the real clarkson's topgear?
I don't if TG has been paid off by BMW because honestly, most of what Chris is saying doesn't make much sense to me. I've owned and an M4 for a while and have swapped it with my friend's M3 occasionally and I thought the steering was just a bit too light. Also, the exhaust is not very prominent as you would have expected in a car such as that.
Due to damaging my M4 and wanting an Alfa for ages, I have switched over to the Giulia QV and I have not been disappointed. The steering is just bang on. It's precise and as heavy as it should be in a sports car of this caliber. I would also like to mention that it feels better in corners, however that is my opinion. The engine sounds magical and on the Nürburgring it set the fastest lap for a sedan, which makes me wonder.
I think the whole controversy with Elon Musk was because of something like this as well. Now, I don't know Chris very well but have been told that he is honest most of the time regarding his reviews and since he switched over to Top Gear, his credibility might actually be questionable. Not because of himself but because of the producers and whatnot. Plus, most people that I know who have driven both cars have told me that the QV is honestly better and if you look at several reviewers' thoughts on this, they seem to agree as well.
Even if it isn't as good,which it is, as an M3 as Chris says, I think he misses the point. This car marks the revival of a long lost automotive legend and they all have heard them roar.
I was thinking the same gla it's not only me! Lost a lot of respect for Chris after this!
He's not exactly Clarkson, but with Chris Harris we can confidently say the show is in good hands.
Seriously considering buying this car. Going for a test drive this weekend! Can't wait!!
Did you buy it? :D

Did you buy it?

2 years later still looks so much better than the competition.
5 years later and it still looks so much better than the competition.
Good review, Chris. Car looks incredible.
Alfa is never rubish. All cars break down (except maybe my Saab).. But i would buy almost any Alfa just because of their design. They are unique. When Saab sadly got bankrupt because of GM and the Swedish goverment.. Well, then theres only Alfa Romeo left on this planet that actually seem to have a car designer who design their cars. Evry other car maker looks EXACTLY the same. Boring, boring and boring.
Ofc you can name some supercars with cool design and uniqueness. But im talking about cars that evry day people can buy here, in other words. Not supercars. And to me its only Alfa who still make regular cars that also looks good.
you know nothing... Alfa's are realiable, and this car is ferrari made...
Amen; like Jeremy C. said with his brilliant,spot on wit, BMW's etc.look like a businessman's briefcase, meaning they all look alike! Alfa's give and have that inner feeling other hot shot brands do not. Alfa's mainly were for those not needing a S 600 Benze etc, but for those who truly loved to drive. Had my 1st Alfa in 72, a 63 spider. Next 1989 a wonderful 1983 GTV-6 ( 7,000 original miles.). 1 never any issues after some Shankle mods when it was sold it had 155,000 and running fine.Then a 94 spider. My Only problem was finding a true Alfa mechanic (USA)!
Like Jeremy always said,you have to own an Alfa if a true petrol head.On a talk show he said the car he regretted selling over all he has owned, was his GTV-6!
I'm clinging onto my 3rd Saab since 1990 and when I finally have to use something else during the week it will be an Alfa. I want a good looking car and the Germans don't know how to cater for that.
I have a Saab and I have to take it to the shop all the time. It's a money pit.

Bought a 2018 Giulia TI sport in Competizione red a few months ago.. absolutely in love with the Giulia’s.. kept telling myself I didn’t need a QF - but I do. I need it. I want the power. But if anyone is on the fence between Alfa and it’s competitors, go take a test drive. I’ve never owned anything sportier than a q60 IPL and 08 mustang before this car.. but the Giulia’s handle amazingly. Such a fun car to drive, every day I love it more. And style is subjective but IMO they are gorgeous cars when packaged together the right way. A work of art compared to other manufacturers.. something I think only Italians can pull off 🇮🇹
Not that I have the choice but if I did between this and an M3 I'd be picking this. Gorgeous looking car.
Beautiful landscape and beautiful car.
This isn't half bad. However I would like a bit more humor.
I agree with you.
Dunno if that is wise. I don't mind humor, but they kinda gave old trio routines to the new hosts and rather see them Develop something that fits the character for Harris if that is the case.
+psyku yep. its a shame that. the show should be completly rebooted.
No, please not. Chris Harris has his own style of representing the cars. He isn't as good as Clarkson but better than any other. Chris Evans tried to bring more humor, so that he imitates Clarkson and this was awful...
Clarkson's trash compared to Chris Harris. At least Chris Harris knows what he's talking about when it comes to cars. Clarkson was a bloviating buffoon, albeit with a decently funny delivery.
now, i miss the humor but THIS is a car review
As Italian, finally Alfa has done something top with Giulia and Stelvio Quadrifoglio! Cars to be proud of.... And sorry Germans but our class and ability to make sport cars is second to none.! I get this over Bmw M, Merc amg or Audi RS. This car have soul and is made with Italian passion and heiritage something that German cars simply can't imitate.
The rubber in the chassis that chris talks about is one of the reasons the car is so great on the road. The ride is amazing, yet incredibly planted and razor sharp at the same time.
Just as a site note:
this car holds the record-time for limousines on the Nürburgring.

Yup, you're the only one

*Jeremy
yup, this. jeremy never fails to summon a perfect analogy to describe the way a car "feels". Chris anaylses in a more technical, quantifiable manner.
This must be the mildest Chris Harris' review I have ever seen. On an AR Giulia QV. Seriously?
I must say that the best thing about watching Chris Harris review a car is that he can really drive. His cornering or drifting can make a car even more beautiful! Very good work. (tho his driving position and camera angle in this on makes you feel cramped)
We had one of these a few weeks back, it is RIDICULOUS! Sadly no drifting in our vid review though, just five lads living the absolute dream!
pathetic that people are disliking just cause of a new crew of presenters. Get over it Clarksons gone.
Yeah, especially because they can however watch him on Amazon.
no it isnt
Clarkson is not gone. And we're disliking because the video is pathetic. Your comments included.
bassoumsamsoum exactly how is it pathetic ? No explosions ? No bad cuts hiding the drivers whilst going sideways because none of the three have the talent ? To many multi syllable words perhaps ? Go get your prime membership and watch the grand tour.
Why is it pathetic? No, not because of the lack of syllables. Its because of just how Chris Harris has been restrained by Top Gear. His quality of work was multiple times better when he was more independent with Drive. Oh and one more thing - I already got my prime membership and I can't wait for the Grand Tour
Please don`t consider this as a car. This is a pure art
Good job, BBC. You've hired the right guy.

i know everyone is talking about how people are disliking this vid for no reason but can we acknowledge that this is a 2017 alfa romeo with a 505hp v6 twin turbo that has manual transmission seriously that is probably the most badass thing about this car
Nice video! Good presentation! And what a machine!!!
This car is amazing
ciao BMW
I have this beast for almost 11 months now. Not even one issue. NOT EVEN ONE. I had M3 F80 before this one and all I did with it was to drive it to the BMW service center. i would take this one any day of the week.
Brilliant review Chris
Lol, the advert before the video was for the Grand Tour on Top Gear's channel 😅
This is exactly what Top Gear needed to become. We have the Grand Tour coming in a few weeks now and there's no way that Top Gear will compete directly with that. Becoming a more car focused show is a great move, more Chris Harris is needed me thinks.
The feel of that car on the road in every day conditions will be more comfortable that a M3 .People forget cars are form of transport and need to hold comfort about anything else . There is no reason to get a cars ass out at 160kph and drive it like a maniac.I drive my cars hard but aim not hard on them.That Alfa will be amazing and more enjoyable for a long distance drive than an M3 believe me this is because the car has lent more to comfort than the M3 but still has amazing performance.That is the type of car I like I can't stand an out and out performance car.
The sequence of the break light illumination is incredible! I want it for that alone!
Love Chris Harris. The King of Car reviewers in the English speaking world. Entertaining. informative. Passionate. Ticks every box.
Chris Harris is the only man in the planet who can drift a 500hp manual sedan while calmly telling you about how good his grandmas cookies are
Please bring back the Trio
Car looks good from behind and the sides, but the front is a let down in my opinion. A little 4Cish.
The 4c looks great, so I can't get what's wrong....
It's an Alfa, of course it'll look like that.
grill is too small
I agree while it's not ugly it just doesn't look as great as the 159 at the front.
I get goosebumps looking at that car! Alfa is the law.
Stunning car, I want one. Never thought I'd want an Alfa.
