Best handling car I've ever driven. Took it into Beverly hills one night and put it through hell, but the car had other plans. After 10 minutes almost every light on the dash lit up like it was new years
Subscribed. I like that this was informative, you weren't forcing yourself to kind of shout at me in an upbeat way (90% of videos now), and you have a voice suited for presentation. Definitely going to watch more.
@@shemshonbenjaminesrael583 I have 11k on mine with 0 issues. No weird lights, no issues whatsoever believe it or not. The audi, Jag, and GT350 all gave me at least some sort of electrical issue in the first 10k. And i don't baby it. I drove it's first 600 miles through the storm/snow....I floor it multiple times per day. I slide it around in the rain for fun. I will say it bottoms out more easily than my gt350 which is surprising. The auto start stop feature is incredibly annoying because the button isn't in a super open place so sometimes you forget to turn it off. (it stays off in race mode but sometimes dynamic is the better option because you want ESC.) The passenger seat occupancy sensor is pretty sensitive so if you have a 20 lb bag it thinks someone is there and gives you seat belt warnings so you have to adjust the bag a little. So very minor gripes with the car. If you've owned a GT350 or something as loud, the exhaust noise in the cabin may be underwhelming because its meant to be a luxury cruiser, but it's loud outside, and if you want louder there are some pretty affordable fixes.
Appreciate the feed back my brother, right now I am currently torn in between a 16 CT’s-v3 or wondering if I should wait to see what bmw has to offer, I hear they should have a m3/4 with manual trans and selective awd, still love the thought of the Alfa but I hardly hear much about them being tuned or modified reliably
ours quadrifoglio has 52k miles on it. We daily drive it and push the car when we can, not a single problem. It is the stock quadrifoglio and has none of the upgraded features. got it in the Vesuvio Grey and it gets plenty of attention and people always come up and ask about the car.
Pain freaks all of you.Over complicated unreliable junk that cant outperform American sports car for double the price.And yet some Americans still buy them.PAIN freaks.
Ron, you're definitely representin'! Very good and insightful review. The cost of ownership seems to catch some people unprepared, as can be seen by the state of some used premium cars one sees on the road. Some such cars suffer from bypassed regular maintenance, let alone not being repaired because the deductible isn't affordable. Life lessons when buying a car; any car new or used. You've nailed it quite clearly. Also, I see that your head is in a good place regarding preparing for your future self. The 65-year old you will appreciate your efforts. Keep it coming!
Thank you! Thats why I post these videos, especially the ones of maintenance. So folks can be prepared. The advice we needed when we were younger kind of thing. A lot of life lessons are learned the hard way, trying to help people in any way that I can. Appreciate the kind words!
Good job, Ron! Theses cars offer more smiles per mile than any other affordable car in the market. 2017 QV's came with different springs than the newer ones. This is why many owners of 2018-19 Qvs ordered 2017 springs. The difference in length is just over an inch. I like the standard wheels better than the 5-hole because they are lighter, and I think they look more aggressive, too. This is a perfect spec and a decent price. Offer $50K and I bet they would take it.
I saw one in this exact spec pass me on the eway two weeks ago. In person, this car has a very agressive and mean profile. From behind, it is probably one of the best looking cars I have ever seen.
Alfa is going to have a tough job trying to 'improve' the looks on this if they ever do a refresh or updated model because the exterior is damn near perfect!
When Jeremy Clarkson drove one on Top Gear/ The Grand Tour (can’t remember which one), he got out of the car and declared that of all of the cars he has driven over the thirty years or is the first one that he went to buy for himself. Enough said. Clarkson. Bought one. Immediately. The word is passion.
Some people just don't understand how good this car is. It gives you everything you need- speed, nice design, comfort, and excitement when you see it on the street :)
Hey @Ron! Really dig your videos, my Man. I’m with you 100%. I actually bought my 2017 QV with only 4,200 miles on it. The first and only owner went and bought a Porsche GT2 RS, and traded this in. Let’s just say he has plenty of cars. Essentially, I paid +/-$60K for it OTD. Really thrilled with my decision. It is the Trofeo White color too. Plenty of smiles per gallon, that’s for sure. However, just because I enjoy modifying my cars, I added a Centerline Alfa X-pipe, BMC Air Filter, and had a Fabspeed ECU upgrade completed. I am right at 600hp and 535lbs of torque. There is a local Alfa dealer and he takes care of all of my needs...it’s great. This thing MOVES. I only have just over 9K miles on it now. These QVs drive like no other. The handling is so amazing for a sedan...for any car really. Just wanted to thank you for making this video. It instills the very reasoning for my purchase in the first place. So long as you do your HW, you can get yourself a great deal.
Jess man you're doing it right! That tune has to be absolutely incredible and I have a soft spot for Trofeo white as my last two cars were a pearl white. You got a great deal my friend and the fact that you haven't looked back solidifies this. Hope others here will read your comment and see the potential smiles per mile they have when searching for their perfect QV! The pleasure is all mine man, be safe out there!
R A , haha, appreciate the vote of confidence. I understand what I’m getting into. Not an average “yank” over here. I accept the responsibility of what I’ve done, and anybody who cannot has no business doing it in the first place. You run a risk modifying virtually any European cars. Mine is under full warranty throughly January 2022, and I’m very grateful to be working with a wonderful local dealership. ¡Viva Alfa! ;-)
R A , I understand and appreciate your opinion. Also, I respect your tenure in the industry. I was well aware of Alfa’s reputation as it relates to reliability. Yet, I took a shot at it. It has given me no issues up to this point, but it also has less than 10K miles on it. My dad and three of my buddies who have had Mercedes here in the states, some with AMG models, had some serious issues that needed attention. My friends with BMWs tend to not have as many issues from what I know of. Have you taken the QV for a spin? Curious as to what you think, since so many companies and auto review sources have been comparing the Giulia QV to the C63AMG, M3 Comp., and ATS-V. Appreciate your thoughts.
My brother took his into service for the "Driver Assist" stuff a few times. Then replaced something in the computer/transmission which caused the car to jerk while shifting sometimes. All this happened in less than 2 years. He now bought a Lexus RC350 and loves it.
Ive driven one of these beauties nothing comes anything near it as sound wise there’s a dealer up the road from me when there start one up I hear it I love it
My favourite colour of the Alfa is Monte Carlo Blue... My spec would also include the carbon fibre seats, not the rotors, plus the lighter brighter wheels look more handsome with the blue body IMHO 🚙
You save a lot of money with your spec and it would look amazing. I love the CF seats. I love the look of the CF brakes but unless you're tracking it, they are not needed. So you'd be in a great spec!
Rear seats folding - depends whether you order the four seat stiff version or the five seat ‚family‘ version. Five seater folds, four seater is designed as a pure racer.
You are quite an expert in Alfas! Thank you for your reviews. Question (on a different subject): can the sport seat cushion (bottom part) in earlier 2018 models that doesn’t “tilt”, be upgraded so that it does tilt?
@@RonsRides I subd after seeing your Alfa content and ended up buying a Giulia, would like to see content about tunning eg you tunning a Giulia QV to 600+ Hp..
@Pedro yes the Kia stinger is amazing especially since you can get a 2018 gt2 for around 30k. There's no better car on the market at that price. , Period. Also personally I really like the look.
Being previously stationed in Europe for a long while, I find it weird seeing these cars in the states now....I remember driving Alfa Romeos while there, pretty swift cars.
Amazing looks, sounds, and performance. Literally the perfect drivers sports sedan. But unless I had a huge fund for upkeep and a separate backup daily I wouldn't touch it. Maintenance is what you'd expect but I don't know one owner that hasn't had issues with it. Definitely has the reliability of an actual racecar which is a shame because I'd love this over the F80 M3.
hmm i really tempted to get this car as my daily driver, cuz the price been dropping so much that its in my range, but so many ppl complain about the reliability of this car, see i personally don't believe in those cuz i got a dodge challenger and dodge been known for poor reliability but i haven't had any issue other than my radio which got replaced in first 6k miles, no issue since then... anyone else can tell me their experience with alfa?
Had a stelvio for 2.5 yrs..in the shop for months at a time.. Chrysler shop no less, waste of time and garbage. Fun to drive and beautiful when it's accessible.
Yeah there are a couple BRAND NEW 2018 in Van Nuys Calif right now with full spec sheet (sparco seats, carbon ceramic) close to 90k msrp, going for 64k.
Ive been driving the alfa romeo 164 back in italy when i was a young one best car in my opinion great car i have 2 Giulias and one stelvio best car to own
I love this car it’s sporty but functional. Can ride around with ya buds but catch a mustang slippin. Although not cheap but used is affordable, and it’s a pretty good looking car if you ask me
Decent price but would stay away from the 17 and there are a couple 18s in that range already. My ti sport lease is up next yr and a used quad is def top three right now. Also considering a 17-18 4C.
Most cars will be like that if they arent made with extreme precision. It's because the front bumpers are plastic while the body is metal and the paint will look different on those surfaces.
Just wanna state that there is a company that makes an external controller for the exhaust system so that u can open the valves independently from the drive modes, so u can keep the Giulia in Dynamic mode and have the valves open.
In one way it sounds reasonable, 505 hp pretty nice design, and interior. A name brand for 55K. But remember. It is a tough sell when I look around a bit and I can purchase a certified 2017 BMW M3, M5 Audi S4 S5, Jaguar F type, a bit older mercedes cls63. You would have to convince me further to drop 55K on this car. One of the problems is that to an untrained eye this does not look much different from it’s 30K brand new brother, and there are many of them riding around town. So it is not necessarily on “making heads turn” territory, like a 2014 porsche 911 that you can buy for the same price. Its cool. But its tough sell.
My buddy and I were instructing at a track day at Summit Point last year. His student destroyed the brakes in two sessions. Drove 100 miles to the nearest dealer, got new pads and rotors, and destroyed them after two more sessions. He was a new student, not exactly pushing the car. Not exactly track ready.
Total Fluffinez Well it’s not a very popular car and the local autozone stocks no rotors or pads, so your stuck with factory. Most auto parts stores never stock parts for Porsche’s, BMW M cars, AMG, etc. when going to the track you should always bring a spare set of pads.
Added premium on maintenance costs is what makes me hesitant on getting a used Quadrifoglio. The normal Giulia would be much more in line within my budget.
Me either. Not sure if Alfa didnt first intend on it being such a great daily in the beginning so they skipped over the 'practicality side' of the design or what...
it is i have sold four of these at Todd Maserati of Danbury Ct in my 5 months here as a sales girl, people come from far and wide for these, my customers come in to look and end up driving out in one next day.
Excellent car in good condition. A good deal for anyone looking for a Quad. The owner swapped it and spent a lot of money basically just to get a blue one with better brakes? It could have been "wrapped" any color for around $800 to $1,000, or so :)
Im stuck between buying a CPO 2016Cadillac CTS 2.0 vs 2016 Maserati Ghibli Base.... can I get your insight on this? I plan on keeping the vehicle long term. And my concern is reliability... ! But these are the two im in the middle of.
este carro novo custa em torno de 100 mil euros ! usado é uma boa opçao sim, ate porque um dia ele torna a valer mais ,vai ser um belo classico daqui a 20 ou 30 anos !!
With any car like these high performance European beast,you best buy a Full warranty,like i did for my low miles 2012 Jaguar XJ L Super Sport 510 HP. Warranty cost about $3400.00 from CNA with a $200 deduction for 36,000 miles and 4 years. Only had to use it once for a super charger bearing noise. Awesome car. Now I'll find a low miles 2018 Alfa like the one this guys selling, but keep my Big Cat luxury limo race car that handles like a sports car with 0-60 in 4.8 seconds!
i was looking at quadrifoglio then i got an audi rs3 instead, when i was test driving the alfa romeo a CEL popped up when i gave it some gas on the freeway😂
Great video Ron. I just love the QF but honestly that car would be a money pit. Even with the massive initial depreciation it still has a long way to go down. The dealer price is WAY above(more than $5k) what they would give you on trade in for the car. Anyone who buys this car will be under water for a long time. As cool as it is it just isn’t worth loosing all that money. The much more sensible thing is to get the Stinger you have. That is a great car that has held its value very well already.
Of course the price is higher than trade in value. Car dealerships are for-profit businesses and have to make money somehow. And who ever said buying a 500+ hp Alfa Romeo was sensible ;)
OMAR LUNA you have to consider the depreciation from actual selling price not MSRP. They are discounting new GT2 Stingers $14k now. They have only depreciated about $16k-17k. That is great depreciation.
Noah Hernandez certainly they are going to make money. I am just saying that are still making a ton of money on these cars and they are still rapidly depreciating.
I've heard these cars portray a legendary level of unreliability lol. I saw a guy with one at the gas station and i talked to him a little bit about it because these arent that common in my area and NOPE NOPE NOPE.
@@RosserNFT stay faaaar away especially if you're black because y'all like to scrape the bottom of the barrel budgeting for the highest car payment possible with zero room for maintenance or repairs.
@@isaacc3307 good thing I'm an educated black man and I look up yearly cost to own, and stick to a budget. But thank you for your concern sadly you have a point. I won't be wasting my net worth away! Worked to hard.
That QV has been lowered and is NOT stock. I just came out to see my car and there’s a decent gap between tyre and wheel arch. Compare with others in your showroom Ron and let me know. Unless it’s a UK thing...
Never buy a used Alfa Giulia. I have 2018 and go to the service center every other month for something. It has electrical issues/ the media screen shuts down out of nowhere. I changed the tires every 3 months / all of them Sunroof shake to just mention a few

These cars have really grown on me. Didn’t like them so much at first, but they are a surprisingly nice and unique car.
I love these cars. From what I see they are pretty reliable. Depreciation is bad but that’s a lot of luxury cars.
Kwezzy they arent even close to being reliable

Front bumper is a different color shade you can tell at the headlight washer too
Yeah its darker and very noticeable on camera
Most cars will be like that if they arent made with extreme precision. It's because the front bumpers are plastic while the body is metal and the paint will look different on those surfaces.
@@bryanmasis1595 not what I want to see with an $80k "low mile taken care of car my car's paint matches"
Just wanna state that there is a company that makes an external controller for the exhaust system so that u can open the valves independently from the drive modes, so u can keep the Giulia in Dynamic mode and have the valves open.

Someone please condition those seats! It's killing me! 😂
In one way it sounds reasonable, 505 hp pretty nice design, and interior. A name brand for 55K. But remember. It is a tough sell when I look around a bit and I can purchase a certified 2017 BMW M3, M5 Audi S4 S5, Jaguar F type, a bit older mercedes cls63. You would have to convince me further to drop 55K on this car. One of the problems is that to an untrained eye this does not look much different from it’s 30K brand new brother, and there are many of them riding around town. So it is not necessarily on “making heads turn” territory, like a 2014 porsche 911 that you can buy for the same price. Its cool. But its tough sell.
Love the look of these
Damn you convinced me, I'm going to go buy a Camaro ZL1.
Great car bro!!!!!🇮🇹
Gottdammn the car is so good looking!!!
Do you think the price difference for a used 2020 vs a 2018 will be worth it next year?
My buddy and I were instructing at a track day at Summit Point last year. His student destroyed the brakes in two sessions. Drove 100 miles to the nearest dealer, got new pads and rotors, and destroyed them after two more sessions. He was a new student, not exactly pushing the car.
Not exactly track ready.
racekar80 he should just have bought after market rotors , wouldn’t that have been smarter?
Total Fluffinez
Well it’s not a very popular car and the local autozone stocks no rotors or pads, so your stuck with factory. Most auto parts stores never stock parts for Porsche’s, BMW M cars, AMG, etc. when going to the track you should always bring a spare set of pads.
Added premium on maintenance costs is what makes me hesitant on getting a used Quadrifoglio. The normal Giulia would be much more in line within my budget.
For the 2020 do the valves open up in D or N or is it just race still?
My leather sit they have 3 year too but there is no one scratch at all!!! That’s normal for you maybe!
This is my next car for sure , I have a Maserati Ghibli but I love this car to much too. 🔥💪
Love your best life and be able to experience both 💯
It’s definitely on my list
A perfect spec! I'm looking over a four-leaf clover...still don't understand why the trunk pass-through does not translate to the Giulia!
Me either. Not sure if Alfa didnt first intend on it being such a great daily in the beginning so they skipped over the 'practicality side' of the design or what...
2019 and some 2018 have the pass through
Ya, 2019's have the split rear folding seats with latches in the trunk like Ron said in the video.
I liked it since I got in nfs heat. Nice sedan 👍
i ABSOLUTELY agree.
Two questions,
Why is the push start button on the steering wheel?
Do they come in Manual ?
Modern day cars 0-60 in 4.5 seconds or less can’t be had in manual. Those closest to that speed is the focus RS or golf R/Audi s3
@@KING0SISQO Fun driving a automatic, cant be had
U can get them as manual
it is i have sold four of these at Todd Maserati of Danbury Ct in my 5 months here as a sales girl, people come from far and wide for these, my customers come in to look and end up driving out in one next day.
Excellent car in good condition. A good deal for anyone looking for a Quad. The owner swapped it and spent a lot of money basically just to get a blue one with better brakes? It could have been "wrapped" any color for around $800 to $1,000, or so :)
Well he did get a fresh set of miles, and a new warranty. So pretty much like hitting the reset button lol.
Im stuck between buying a CPO 2016Cadillac CTS 2.0 vs 2016 Maserati Ghibli Base.... can I get your insight on this? I plan on keeping the vehicle long term. And my concern is reliability... ! But these are the two im in the middle of.
A. Dragon I’d get the CTS 3.6
este carro novo custa em torno de 100 mil euros ! usado é uma boa opçao sim, ate porque um dia ele torna a valer mais ,vai ser um belo classico daqui a 20 ou 30 anos !!
With any car like these high performance European beast,you best buy a Full warranty,like i did for my low miles 2012 Jaguar XJ L Super Sport 510 HP. Warranty cost about $3400.00 from CNA with a $200 deduction for 36,000 miles and 4 years. Only had to use it once for a super charger bearing noise. Awesome car. Now I'll find a low miles 2018 Alfa like the one this guys selling, but keep my Big Cat luxury limo race car that handles like a sports car with 0-60 in 4.8 seconds!
Which one Better to buy MASERATI Granturismo vs this one?
Love your intro bro. Great content keep up the success! I'm just now getting into youtube and tryna grow my channel if any advise please let me know!?
An engine bay that cramped is going to be expensive to work on in addition to parts that I bet are expensive
I dunno about these cars. In Cali there are waaaay too many of these used for sale. Makes you nervous because why?
Matt Ziggy they fail pretty bad.
@@nizmo370z4 which is a disappointment for me. I almost got one, but heard about the QA issues.
Such an excellent car. I hope to drive one one day. Love the vids!
I’m on my way to your dealership. $46k cash!!
Good luck lol
Good luck
rip :/
Bless your heart
Bruh just go put 20% down on a rental property instead.

i was looking at quadrifoglio then i got an audi rs3 instead, when i was test driving the alfa romeo a CEL popped up when i gave it some gas on the freeway😂
Watching while actually living in Daytona...
Great video Ron. I just love the QF but honestly that car would be a money pit. Even with the massive initial depreciation it still has a long way to go down.
The dealer price is WAY above(more than $5k) what they would give you on trade in for the car.
Anyone who buys this car will be under water for a long time. As cool as it is it just isn’t worth loosing all that money.
The much more sensible thing is to get the Stinger you have. That is a great car that has held its value very well already.
Of course the price is higher than trade in value. Car dealerships are for-profit businesses and have to make money somehow. And who ever said buying a 500+ hp Alfa Romeo was sensible ;)
OMAR LUNA you have to consider the depreciation from actual selling price not MSRP. They are discounting new GT2 Stingers $14k now. They have only depreciated about $16k-17k. That is great depreciation.
Noah Hernandez certainly they are going to make money. I am just saying that are still making a ton of money on these cars and they are still rapidly depreciating.
I hear ya but some would say 'If buying a Quadrifoglio is wrong, I dont want to be right.' Lmao
OMAR LUNA not if you have to pay close to sticker for it.
Had mine for a year it’s cool I just think I would have been happier with a Maserati
I've heard these cars portray a legendary level of unreliability lol. I saw a guy with one at the gas station and i talked to him a little bit about it because these arent that common in my area and NOPE NOPE NOPE.
Unrealiability myths from the 80's. Nowadays they are fine
I work at an Alfa Romeo dealership and yes we see them a lot
@@whoischxse really? Basic things? I'm a car guy so I can ignore lill things.

@@isaacc3307 good thing I'm an educated black man and I look up yearly cost to own, and stick to a budget. But thank you for your concern sadly you have a point. I won't be wasting my net worth away! Worked to hard.
has it been lowered? Looks lower than other Gulia.
Looks like he threw some sport springs on it.
chiwaawaaa definitely
No, suspension has collapsed 😂

@Steve Lyden-Brown you are lucky to have that car dude. I would save up to own one someday
@Steve Lyden-Brown where the content at tho?
Fuck you im not liking shit
After reading a lot of the comments, it is a beautiful car that needs a full LS swap!
That QV has been lowered and is NOT stock. I just came out to see my car and there’s a decent gap between tyre and wheel arch. Compare with others in your showroom Ron and let me know. Unless it’s a UK thing...
There is a well documented ride height difference between years. People complained about scraping.
They changed the springs between 17 and 18 models , so the 18s are higher FYI
I drove a Giulia once because a friend of mine owns a Diesel Giulia and what can I say? It drives sweet
X to Doubt
Are my eye bad or did this owner lower it and add window tint?
Never buy a used Alfa Giulia. I have 2018 and go to the service center every other month for something.
It has electrical issues/ the media screen shuts down out of nowhere.
I changed the tires every 3 months / all of them
Sunroof shake to just mention a few
Artyom Ghazaryan I’ve been saying this forever. Can’t wait to return mine. X out the days.
