Stef... Another great video! I own a 2020 Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio in Rosso Competizione and a 2018 Porsche GT3 and the two things that surprised me with the Alfa is: 1. How compliant the ride is in "Normal" mode or in "Bumpy Road" mode when in Dynamic and Race modes. The ride is compliant over rough roads without feeling "mushy" or "soft". This is a great at long road trip's, daily driver and a back road fun weekend car. My girlfriend hated long drives in my past M3's but loves the smooth ride of the Alfa. 2. People of all ages have positive reactions to this car. It turns heads, people point, smile and wave. People will approach you complimenting the car or asking questions about it. I NEVER experienced this in any of my past BMW's. My Alfa has been absolutely flawless unlike my last BMW M3's... Never Again! And I don't understand why people are complaining about the lack of technology. My car has Apple Car Play, Wireless Charging, Back Up Camera, Heated seats/steering wheel, Remote Starting and a decent stereo. What else do you need? I don't want my car driving/parking itself or talking to me. This car is for people that enjoy DRIVING! Stef keep making these videos on these Italian cars.
Could you compare the QV to your GT3 please ? I own a stelvio QV and am shocked by how good it is . I’ve owned a lot of cats and a few 911’s I know the GT3 is more focused just wondering how they compere to you ?
Comments like yours should be quoted in every ad of this fabulous car. In spite of the many idio** that still think Germans make the best cars. They’re no longer the most advanced and reliable. But most people think the opposite. And just believe that the more frills they have in the touchscreen the more advanced the car is. For that sake they might as well stay home and play with a gigantic touch screen. I fully agree that a car like this it to drive. Not be driven by it. And the new gadgets that come with MY 2020 are absolutely adequate....
the looks, the sound, the simplicity on the interior, the driving experience... there's not a single bmw, audi or merc that's gonna give the same feeling as this car does :)
When Italians builds a sports car they breath life into the engine the heart of the car to provoke auto emotions, this car is spot on! Thanks Stef for sharing!
That sound is so beautiful! It's a symphony and the design of the Giulia is stunning. It's still the best sports sedan on the market, even versus the new M3 Competition.
These sport sedans are the king of the road. Anyone who enjoys actual driving, not sitting in an Uber, or behind the wheel of the self driving Tesla's, will appreciate the dynamics, power, and above all, looks of this iconic automobile. Great review and I'm still enjoying my 2019 Veloce!
Still in love with my 18......just over a year into ownership, still delivers everything I want, this car feels as much like a saloon version of a 458 you could imagine, I love the 458 as well , that also is a riot to drive :D My 14yr old daughter has driven mine, its the first car she ever drove as well, so ease of everyday use - I completely agree.
Hopefully you can laugh over the rattles. My Stelvio QV rattled me into another car. But I do love Italian cars so I also added the 124 Abarth and with the roof down you can't hear anything.
I’m one of the guys that sent one into a bush as you say, though it was a fence. I had a Lotus and a 4C before this, but that doesn’t prepare you for this monster. If only I had changed those tires out... the Corsas are a death trap.. what a car though...
The Ferrari engine is 8 cylinder and the Alfa is 6 cylinder. Apparently the engine is based on the 3.9t V8 from Ferrari minus 2 cylinders and with some Alfa DNA.. 19 model year cars start about £45k. A 17/67 start at £37k..
I got the Ti sport and by far the best sports car I’ve owned! Who cares that it has 4 doors? The perfect balance in corners while being comfortable over broken pavement is a revelation.
Another great video Stef......editing is brilliant. When the weather is dry and temp is 10 degrees or above the QV is awesome. If driven in Race mode in cold temps it will be a bit lairy but you drive to the conditions. Picked mine up in Dec and it's been difficult to put the power down so far. I'll replace the Corsas with something else when they're worn down but until then I'm hanging on for spring for really give her some beans 👍😁
Alfa Romeo Giulia is an object that gives the driver car-like sensations. The real problem is that users today want to perceive home appliance sensations from a vehicle.
100% agree with you. I had my Giulia Quadrifoglio for nearly three years and I absolutely loved every minute of ownership but for UK roads (especially the B roads where I normally drive), using all 500BHP safely was an issue. Everyone has their opinion but for me around 400BHP is where I think the sweet spot is.
AC and heat will demise the car Stef - love this car as its the only choice for me shopping in this class of vehicle as its just so much more interesting than the German options
Que decir de Alfa Romeo que no sepamos los que nos gusta el motor y estamos puestos en el mundillo, aunque por lo visto hay mucho profano que le gusta hablar de oidas y poner a parir a la marca sin tener ni idea, sin haber tenido uno o ni siquiera a ver probado alguno. Las malas lenguas.... Yo he tenido un 33, un 75, un 156, un Giulietta QV y ahora sigo apostando por la marca y tengo este Giulia QV y sin duda el que ha cumplido todas mis expectativas. El coche es sencillamente increible, nunca habia probado un coche con una dirección tan directa y lo que vale para la direción, vale para todo el comportamiento en general, agarre y aplomo, pero es que ademas es una autentica bestia. Un pedazo de Alfa Romeo. Con este me sobra el trio Aleman, asi de sencillo. En diseño les pasa el trapo. Ademas a mi personalmente me sobran las pantallitas y tanta tablet, este es analogico y deportivo, como le caracteriza a todo un Alfa. Saludos.
So many good deals on used ones 🍀😍 I wouldn’t consider a first year (2016) but between 2017-2019 the Quadrifoglio s are superb! And if your lucky enough depending where you live you can get a manual transmission one 🤘
There's simply one change that makes me want this or even a veloce - the centre console by the gearstick surround! Excess plastic removed. And the auto drive stuff tbf
Hi Stef Looks a fantastic exceptional car. But being rear wheel drive - it’s a shame you can’t use all the 510BHP without ending up in the nearest hedge
Awesome video as always. can't wait to get my hands on a guilia. Even though i love my 595 comp 2019, there is nothing like an alfa. And like @fskof said, when ever i drive my dad's guilia veloce people are turning their heads of give me the thumbs up
As the owner of a Giulia Quadrifoglio I have been petitioning BMW to change the rodent teeth on the front of the new M 3 / M 4 as they are always in my rear view mirror and looking at them is making me nauseous while driving.....They said they will take it into consideration....
@@SteveMiguel ..Enjoy your rodent teeth and keep drinking the GERMAN KOOL AID... HANZ and FRANZ are pouring !!! Like that Tipo 33 Stradale huh ? BMW WHO !!!!
A RHD Alfa Romeo trend needs to be started out here...this way they are more bonkers, and the barges make a nice cut, avoid Suez Canal at the moment...😬🛢
Good Video... but it’s a little bit sad in some points of view that one gets always one part of the Alfa show: Race or D-Mode. Never one sees the N or A mode... But these are also interesting not only for potential buyers... As the author rightly say: the Q is Jekyll and Hyde. But you only see one part of the show.
Hi stef would be interesting to see you and your mate Joe Achilles drag race each other in your respective Guilia QV and BMW M4 i think that would be very interesting hmmmmmm.
My favourite car, wowwww England is so lucky "Oh it starts at 67,000 pounds" ooooof, I WISH it was $67,000 Australian hahaha. But still 67,000 Pounds is $123,000 for me, which is $33,000 below the MINIMUM drive away price in Australia. Maaaan I got so nervous when he pulled over right next to that big fallen tree.
@@StefABtv Hi mate. No? I know the US market did not get manual but didnt know the same happend in the UK. Many people do prefer the automatic over the manual gearbox though. All car that have manual and auto, I go for the manual. Not as fast shifting but, its not a race car. Haha. Keep up the good stuff mate.
I love this, I just got a my20. The only confusing thing for me is in the DNA explorer, the valves say its open in Dynamic but its not. Apart from that, its the best thing since sliced bread :D
In Dynamic I believe the exhaust valves open above circa 3-4K rpm. You can get a remote control for the exhaust so you can open the valves in whatever mode you want.
@@azamchaudhri Thanks for the advice but i have a second set of wheels with pirelli sottozero winters but didn't bother to put them on. Don't use it as daily driver anymore. Where I live the it's full of Speedcams and trajectory control. Just a disaster.
Lol can just leave it in dynamic. Gives you more confidence. I used to only drive these in dynamic when I first started driving them. Slowly moved into race when you get more of a feel for them
Excellent video, Stef. Thanks for showing us the 2020 updates. Do you know if it is pot luck whether you get the Pirelli Corsas or the Michelin’s or does the GTA always get Michelins and the QF always gets the Corsas? (Not that I’m buying.)
Great car and would love one of these, but just don’t understand the crazy deposits and the monthly’s I know it’s not a cheap car I get but.... also dose the new 20 model have an opf filter but the sounds of it in your video no and no stupid fake sounds through the speakers!
Despite you like the car, you still don't know the specs😃 -1620kg with auto gearbox, 15xxkg with manual gearbox -in race mode full power everywhere -in dynamic first, second gear limited power. It's easy on the throttle below 3000rpm. Active traction control and allows drift for a certain degree. -150ms gear change time -body, chassis updated to reduce some vibrations in model 2020 -extra noise isolation in model 2020 -updated hifi in 2020 model
@@StefABtv - haha, I think I'd run out of skill when least expecting it. I had my M2C in MDM mode on a relatively cold day, and nearly lost it. I've never gone back to MDM since 🤣 I would want the safety of the TC if I get overly exuberant with the right foot. Any word on a new Giulia (apart from GTA/M)?
New m3 XDRIVE is a brilliant car. This still feels more connected. M3 is heavier but it’s a weapon. More soul on the Alfa but as an everyday car the m3 does wonders with the XDRIVE
the way the front end grips and turns in...the way the rear differential pushes the car forward in curve exits...The car is a blast....Not many car give this level of pleasure..However, please have the wheel alignment done with the proper alfa Romeu parameters... Most wheel alignment machines will say to set front convergence to zero and the car become awful with that...it needs the real values from Alfa Romeu to behave properly...and the difference is huge...the best steering wheel feeling of modern cars....with wrong alignment... a lot of pleasure lost
The CarbonFiber roof is a scam :) I tested mine (MY2020 QV - EU market, Germany) with a magnet and it sticks to the roof. Tried it in multiple places all across the roof. The magnet doesn't stick to the bonnet (real carbon) nor doors (aluminium). So everything else is probably tin :)) So the MY20 cars equipped with ,,Exposed Carbon Roof" are the only ones with an actual carbon roof. Another change is that ECUs are not branded Ferrari anymore. They have an Alfa logo. Another change is (don't know how real this is, sources were shady; couldn't verify it myself) that the gas intake is no longer only direct injection, they added port injection too. One more nice change is that now there is PilotSport 4S available in the OEM wheel size. Probably 'cause of the Alfa-Michelin partnership for the GTA_m. You're the only reviewer that noticed the power limiter in the first 3 gears, even in Dynamic mode. I'm impressed. I really hope you're right about it only activating when it's cold outside. I only use Race mode when the streets are completely empty and I'd really love some more power in 2nd and 3rd gears in Dynamic mode. Couldn't test this either, 'cause I bought the car in late Octomber, and it hasn't been more than 10degC outside since then.
I love this car and had to choose between this and the new M3. I took the M3 because of mainly 2 reasons: 1. Reliability 2. Manual Transmission. As much as I love Alfa as an Italian, but they still have to improve on various things...altough no car in this class has so much soul and emotion than this. And it looks absoloutely awesome !
Improvement towards the epitome that is ‘best of class’. You know what.. the Alfa does not need to improve so it can comply with the Germans. Alfa is Alfa. The reliability is not bad for this car. Mine had nothing since I bought it. I do treat it sensible because I like it and I want to keep it. Many people take chances and when it takes a turn for the worst they blame the car. Evidently this happens also with the so called ‘best in class’ German cars. Just take a look in the forums or Facebook. i tedeschi sono più intelligenti degli italiani, sosterranno sempre un prodotto tedesco, è il loro orgoglio.
@@sebastianbrajkovic sicuramente hai raggione con quello che dici. Ma cone detto, sono vari raggioni perche ho preso la M3 e non la Alfa, e la maggiore raggione e che me la offrono in manuale. Purtroppo Alfa non lo fa piu...
New infotainment with widgets, enhanced safety systems active blind spot and lane control. Level 2 auto drive. New rear lights. Different colour options, Akrapovic exhaust option, new interior centre console. Performance and chassis remains the same
Even compared with the G80? I know people have been saying the F80 is very good but not great, but I thought the G80 might have just edged the QV. Pity about the G80's front grille though.
@@mbarn you could always but rears were 295 not 285. Michelin just released PS4S' in 285s before Christmas. Got some on my MY20 Quad now. Waaaaaay better than Corsas 90% of the time 👌
It looked as if the steering wheel was trying to buck you off at times! Not sure how much was weather conditions and how much was the driving mode you had it in or if it was a combination of both. Not a car I see in the states, which is a shame.
@k c These cars come with summer sport tires which are not good in the cold and snow. My Porsche GT3 are even worse in those weather conditions. And yes these cars are sold in the United States and I own a 2020 Quadrifoglio in Rosso Competizione. Amazing Car!
I got same wheels that in your video and its worth mentioning that they stick out from the edge of tire instead of beeing protected by it. My wife scatched 4 od them in no time

For now its Petrol power.
And if the English grow a spine petrol will not be banned by 2030.

-in dynamic first, second gear limited power. It's easy on the throttle below 3000rpm. Active traction control and allows drift for a certain degree.
-150ms gear change time
-body, chassis updated to reduce some vibrations in model 2020
-extra noise isolation in model 2020
-updated hifi in 2020 model
Pls do another abarth punto vid
Did they sort out the Race mode, as in you can have the full exhaust note but still have traction control? It's compelling all being said.
Still not. No fully open exhaust unless in race. I drive this car in race only now though lol
@@StefABtv - haha, I think I'd run out of skill when least expecting it. I had my M2C in MDM mode on a relatively cold day, and nearly lost it. I've never gone back to MDM since 🤣 I would want the safety of the TC if I get overly exuberant with the right foot. Any word on a new Giulia (apart from GTA/M)?
@Stef ABtv some guys have reported in some markets that its available in dynamic however i doubt it has the same effect as race mode.
Hi Stef,
so what is it compared to the M3 CS?
You did that review also.
New m3 XDRIVE is a brilliant car. This still feels more connected. M3 is heavier but it’s a weapon. More soul on the Alfa but as an everyday car the m3 does wonders with the XDRIVE
Thank you Stef!
But I meant the F80 M3 CS 🤗
What mic are you using outside the car at the exhaust?!
2 GoPro cameras mate. One facing forward one by the exhaust and sync the rear cam sound in the edit
@@StefABtv I guess urs the newer GoPro mine sounds sh1t.(doesnt do justice to my qv exhaust sound)
Nice vid
Rear cam is a GoPro hero 7 mate
@@StefABtv mine is 4 ,thx for the response
the way the front end grips and turns in...the way the rear differential pushes the car forward in curve exits...The car is a blast....Not many car give this level of pleasure..However, please have the wheel alignment done with the proper alfa Romeu parameters... Most wheel alignment machines will say to set front convergence to zero and the car become awful with that...it needs the real values from Alfa Romeu to behave properly...and the difference is huge...the best steering wheel feeling of modern cars....with wrong alignment... a lot of pleasure lost
6:30..... I want that key chain. Where can I get it?
NLO ❤
The CarbonFiber roof is a scam :)
I tested mine (MY2020 QV - EU market, Germany) with a magnet and it sticks to the roof. Tried it in multiple places all across the roof.
The magnet doesn't stick to the bonnet (real carbon) nor doors (aluminium). So everything else is probably tin :)) So the MY20 cars equipped with ,,Exposed Carbon Roof" are the only ones with an actual carbon roof.
Another change is that ECUs are not branded Ferrari anymore. They have an Alfa logo.
Another change is (don't know how real this is, sources were shady; couldn't verify it myself) that the gas intake is no longer only direct injection, they added port injection too.
One more nice change is that now there is PilotSport 4S available in the OEM wheel size. Probably 'cause of the Alfa-Michelin partnership for the GTA_m.
You're the only reviewer that noticed the power limiter in the first 3 gears, even in Dynamic mode. I'm impressed. I really hope you're right about it only activating when it's cold outside. I only use Race mode when the streets are completely empty and I'd really love some more power in 2nd and 3rd gears in Dynamic mode. Couldn't test this either, 'cause I bought the car in late Octomber, and it hasn't been more than 10degC outside since then.
Summer soon so you will get a chance to test it properly :)
Hi stef we’re can I purchase your car stickers from thanks
What color is this?
Your optimistic about getting a 19 plate for 37k,i would say 45k? But worth every penny.
Is this the best sounding V6 there is? This or the F Type?
It’s a tough one mate. I think the ftype sound amazing and more high pitched than the QV
Could I sell my E39 M5 to get into one of these and love it just as much?
I think so mate. But the M5 is a beast
Would you say the Giulia QV or the Cayman GT4 is the more sporty / more fun car? ... Which one is faster? (In your opinion, not on paper.) ;)
Giulia is faster GT4 more sporty
So which has been - after all - more fun to drive?
is the uk version has the OPF filter?
I believe so for new cars
I love this car and had to choose between this and the new M3. I took the M3 because of mainly 2 reasons: 1. Reliability 2. Manual Transmission.
As much as I love Alfa as an Italian, but they still have to improve on various things...altough no car in this class has so much soul and emotion than this. And it looks absoloutely awesome !
Improvement towards the epitome that is ‘best of class’.
You know what.. the Alfa does not need to improve so it can comply with the Germans. Alfa is Alfa.
The reliability is not bad for this car. Mine had nothing since I bought it. I do treat it sensible because I like it and I want to keep it. Many people take chances and when it takes a turn for the worst they blame the car. Evidently this happens also with the so called ‘best in class’ German cars. Just take a look in the forums or Facebook.
i tedeschi sono più intelligenti degli italiani, sosterranno sempre un prodotto tedesco, è il loro orgoglio.
@@sebastianbrajkovic sicuramente hai raggione con quello che dici. Ma cone detto, sono vari raggioni perche ho preso la M3 e non la Alfa, e la maggiore raggione e che me la offrono in manuale. Purtroppo Alfa non lo fa piu...
@@Massimo_U purtroppo davvero. una cosa che la m3 non ha. questo è ciò che mi ha affascinato, migliore aerodinamica
the german cars has better quality. especially Audi. but where is the soul?
@@snkcorp.502 soul is a quality that Audi lacks
How about a compare with the M3 BMW specialy in the handling?
Video on that is on my channel now
Can you speak to any improvements with the MY2021?
New infotainment with widgets, enhanced safety systems active blind spot and lane control. Level 2 auto drive. New rear lights. Different colour options, Akrapovic exhaust option, new interior centre console. Performance and chassis remains the same
Thank you for replying! Just to be clear, though, do you mean they did all of these changes between the 2020 and 2021 models?
@@curtisdeansmith2626 I have a MY20, there are no differences between the 20 and 21. Think Stef was referring to MY20 changes 👍
@@mattbottrill6020 Yes, that is what I was thinking. Thank you!
Even compared with the G80? I know people have been saying the F80 is very good but not great, but I thought the G80 might have just edged the QV. Pity about the G80's front grille though.
Got the G80 coming so will be a good comparison.
The Poorelli tyres are just not fit for anything but a hot day, and even then they are not the best
Yeah I found once you get heat into them they do a decent job but can’t beat some Michelin PS4’s on this
@@StefABtv can you get the Michelin’s on the quad? Always thought (maybe wrongly) the sizes were incompatible
@@mbarn you could always but rears were 295 not 285. Michelin just released PS4S' in 285s before Christmas. Got some on my MY20 Quad now. Waaaaaay better than Corsas 90% of the time 👌
@@StefABtv be good if you can find one with some Mitchelins on and do a comparrison
Auto express would disagree mate.
Yep but everyone is entitled to their own opinion ;)
Great Review Stef. M4 .. great car but sorry it is orrible.
It looked as if the steering wheel was trying to buck you off at times! Not sure how much was weather conditions and how much was the driving mode you had it in or if it was a combination of both. Not a car I see in the states, which is a shame.
Was 0 degrees outside with summer tyres lol
@k c These cars come with summer sport tires which are not good in the cold and snow. My Porsche GT3 are even worse in those weather conditions. And yes these cars are sold in the United States and I own a 2020 Quadrifoglio in Rosso Competizione. Amazing Car!
It does look brilliant, but I think the BMW M3 comp version is better than this. It sounds good though. My opinion of course .
Getting the new m3 soon so will be great to compare
A word to the wise don't curb the wheels! The paint Alfa use does not have a paint code and is very difficult to match! 😞 Found this out the hard way!
Haha defo! Not cheap to fix!!!
I ve managed to find paint to my veloce rimms but it was rly hard. Ordered it 3 times before i got right one
I got same wheels that in your video and its worth mentioning that they stick out from the edge of tire instead of beeing protected by it. My wife scatched 4 od them in no time
@@mjarowicz Where did you get your paint from?
@@mjarowicz 😢 I feel your pain!
I'm trying to choose between this and the stelvio. Giulia is just way too twitchy I think.
Stelvio is easier to drive fast let’s put it that way lol
