My plan was to keep it until the factory warranty ran out then replace with something else. Well, I still have it and love it more and more, I don’t think I’ll ever get rid of mine no matter what she throws at me, it’s just an awesome car to own and drive, experience is bar none!
yeah as much as this car talks back to me at times and says FU! to my face I am still attached to it.
Good luck when that engine lets go man.
Hope it never happens but good luck
@@autofanaticcars This ! I just spent $2200 on 2 tecnico wheels because of inflation and didn't even bat an eye. Parts are getting really expensive for these cars, local dealerships are charging like 1800 a wheel nowadays . (Forgeline money )
@@jacobporter7140 forgeline?
What do you mean by saying "what she throws at you" ?
Error codes ? I think it's one of the most trouble free, trusted engines...
This is one of the legends of our era. Attainable and something unlike anything else on the market. It's a work of art.
Alfa ROMEO is something else... Doesn't matter which model you'll choose, you will be amazed 💪
If the 159 had the Giorgio Platform, with the 2.9 v6 engine and the ZF8 gearbox... Man, it would have been the best sedan in the world
Lasa ca merge si 1.9 diesel manual😂😂 , As schimba o doar cu o giulia sincer
sounds very unbiased assessment there buddy
Owned 2 Alfas. I'm just on minute 2 on your videoclip and I feel my love was never gone for this awesome brand . Thank you so much man !
Hi Phil just wanted to thank you sincerely for your passion and awesome Giulia videos. It was from watching one of your videos 3 years ago that inspired me to take the plunge and buy 2017 QV in Trofeo white. 3 years later, it still puts a big smile on my face every time I start her up. Cheers from Australia 🍻🍀
My pleasure! and glad you took my advice and bought one because they are so rewarding to own and drive. Keep enjoying yours
I live in Taiwan,bought GiuliaQV last year.
It’s my dream,a wonderful car❤
Good choice!
"M3 makes me want to puke everytime I look at it." "I would never buy one a new M3." Goes on to buy an M3 and then back to a QV. Lol. Hope your new one treats you well.
Your content is second to none. I’m currently looking for a pre owned QV, in part because of your quality videos and enthusiasm. I’m an Alfa lifer and can’t wait to find my next one
Awesome, thank you!
OMG... it’s been 4 years? Wow did the time fly by.
Keep up the great work!
I know!! the sad thing is the last 2.5 years was a blur for everyone and you know why. yeah i still can not believe 4 years have passed by insane how life move faster than the clock on the wall at times.
I sold mine and I miss it dearly. Really special connection with that car. Nothing like it out there!
Thanks so much for all your content over the past four years. You are the reason I bought a 2019 Giulia QV. I've never regretted that decision. It's been the perfect car, no issues, still using the original battery. It's been a great car, these are special and are a "once in a lifetime chance" to own a really special car. I'm sure Alfa Romeo will soon be discontinuing this car, they have already significantly reduced production numbers. That's why I'll always keep mine, even though I've got a new Lucid Air arriving in a few weeks.
thanks Paul for sharing your ownership experience and happy to hear my enthusiasm made you take the plunge to buy such an amazing car. Keep enjoying it.
agreed, i think this might be the first car that i might want to get. thank you for this video
I had Alfa Romeo 159 jtv 3.2 it’s amazing car, what distinguished it from a bmw or Mercedes, is no matter how long you own it, you’ll never feel boring even if it became olds I regret selling it, I should have kept it , that was naturally aspirated 6 cylinders engine
I drive a C7 RS6 ABT and a Golf 7R daily, both heavily modified, but the QV will be added at some point to the stable. It caused me a big impression since the day it came out, and even though it would be my first performance Italian car (I prefer ze Germans), I’m sure I won’t be disappointed according to your videos and the testimony of some friends that tested one. Leaving how brilliantly it drives aside, I like how understated it is (especially in a dark color), the practicality of having 4 seats (5 from 18) and a decent trunk. Another perk for me is that in Europe you can already find a good unit for around 45-50k. Keep up the great content and enjoy your Alfa. Regards from Spain.
thanks Rick hope you get one soon you will be thrilled with it.
I agree with everything you’ve said.
I have a Q4 Ti sport with race mode, downpipe, and a tune, as well as KWV3 coilovers, and all the carbon bits……
I am in race mode 24:7. Like you said, the experience when driving this car, even when doing mundane tasks is next level. I absolutely love the damn thing. It turns heads EVERYWHERE. Especially here in Germany where everyone drives Audi and Mercedes
You ever going to go electric?
very cool, as for me going EV i do not see that happening anytime soon to be honest.
Damn good video Phil. I was smiling ear to ear watching you enjoy this machine, you hit on so many key points and car enthusiasts all around the world can relate. I've had nights where I couldn't hardly sleep because I couldn't wait to get up in the morning and drive my Mustang GT and year after year. It never got old and I can't see a day when it will, this was fun as hell!
Mustang lol
@@SteveMiguel?
What a car...and owned by a man of the true faith...this is all about soul...and this car has it in spades...I could never part with such a car..as we inexorably slide towards electric cars that sound like hair dryers and the ever growing world of SUVs that look and are about as exiting as a wet Monday morning in November...congratulations on fabulous upkeep and whatever you do hold on to that glorious machine...
it is a shame that most new cars today suck in all areas of style and fun factor it seems the transition to boring cars and overpriced EV is too much for my personal taste.
There are very few cars that stand out today and so many conform to the same boring design and are competent enough..but oh so boring...this Giulia is timeless...I have three Alfas..one housing the famous busso V6..with a sound to die for..
I have a 2018 Q4 and it is one of the best cars I have ever driven. Whenever I encounter an issue I come to these videos. Thanks for the great content, keep up the greet work! p.s. I learned how to properly clean a car from you.
Great to hear!
I have a 2018 q4 Ti sport as well. Favorite car in the world
I have a 2018 q4 too amazing I love it! Just to much problems it brings me 😩😩 anyone else have problems?
Can't wait for the 5th year ownership video
IMO, its best car for the $$ (under 100k - new). I have the Nring limited edition, with a tune, and suspension software tune. I love it, and it's RARE, unlike lots of comparable cars out there. 2 friends of mine clocked 0=60 in 3.07 sec/ 3.1 sec, and one of them hit the 1/4 miles in 10.02 sec (just with the same tune mine has). Grande Alfa!
Couldn't agree more!
Unless he did It on a prep, there's not way a qv can do 10s 1/4 mile. Even with more power, it traction control is not good enough
I love the passion of all Alfa Romeo owners share, the car is a great joy to drive. I have 93,000 miles on my 2020 and enjoyed every mile. no concerns just maintenance.
How much has maintenance be (compared to German or Japanese cars)? I’ve seen reviews where basic maintenance and repairs cost a fortune
I currently have a stage 2 Audi A6 Competition, and love it. With that said, I am really looking forward to owning this car as my next car. Absolutely beautiful.
went from a 159 diesel to a mazda 3 gasoline. Very happy but I will never forget my Alfa!
I am an international student in Italy, this car is my love at first sight. God willing, I will update this comment when I buy it in the near future. ❤❤❤ Fantastico❤️🔥
I love all your A-R content. Your Julia QV may be the best looking sedan on Earth. I have a '21 Stelvio Sport Ti Q4, can't take my eyes off it's beauty and have complements from people far and wide. Thanks for your informative videos.
Wow, thanks! We get stopped every single day for our Blue on Red Stelvio Ti people fall in love with these cars because of their great design and uniqueness. Keep enjoying your Stelvio we love ours.
Feel the same way about all of my Alfas. Don’t have a Quad but have a 4C. Just smiles for miles…same for the ‘74 Spider, ‘82 GTV6, ‘88 Milano and the daily driver 2.0 Stelvio. Will have a Quad someday, the 4C needs to have that sound or the gtv6 Busso v6 sound.
I agree I love the 4C still want to get one of those one day kinda wish they put a manual gearbox in it and a NA engine it would have been even more awesome.
I just got my first ever Alfa Romeo 🔥🔥🔥 🏎️💨
Enjoy
This channel is treasure for Giulia owners.
thanks for watching the content
Alfa is indeed and heart decision am an Alfa owner from more than 10years and i understand that feeling
Nice video..
Almost 3 years owning my sexy Rosso Competizione QV. Still puts a smile on my face when I fire it up..
awesome
Love hate relationship is correct. My Alfa dealership, Des Moines, went under so now I have to drive to Minneapolis or Omaha or Kansas City.
wow you must really share the same passion I do and Iove hearing that. Do they offer pick up and delivery options? Sometimes when something is so good you appreciate and embrace it because the grass is never greener on the other side in life as much as we try to convince ourselves it is.
@@autofanaticcars since my dealership closed down I will go to my local Lexus dealership for most basic services.
@@autofanaticcars I got rid of mine at the beginning of the year for an Audi RS5 Sportback. It’s not as lively and it’s heavier but it’s a lot more fun to drive at low speeds because it has much better street traction. I was going to order a spare set of wheels but it’s just easier to load tires up and drive to the tire shop and have them swap over from the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tires to my cheapo but decent Wintrac Pro tires.
I just bought an Alfa Romeo Quadrifoglio from the dealership in Omaha! Ask for Keith! Great to work with!!
Your car has the perfect stance and exhaust sound !
i agree it is so rewarding to drive and puts a smile on my face every single day.
it truly is an incredible car and a real shame that FCA did not commit to this platform as it should have. thank you sir for sharing your love with us :)
Couldn't agree more! the management of the brand and Stellantis ruined the namesake of a legendary iconic brand for the Americas.
@@autofanaticcars I think they expected to sell 500k units per year as soon as they re-entered the American market after god know how many decades of absence (4C aside). Once they saw the numbers were not there, and more akin those of Jaguar sales, they pulled the plug after investing 8Bn euros on the platform. They could have done so much with it and spawned D,E,F segments cars for both Alfa Romeo and Maserati. Giulia only took two years and aside from the help of Ferrari there were hundreds of young engineers on the project. It's a real shame. I drive lots of BMWs for my side job and they just don't compare. I'd love to be in a bimmer if I was to be in a crash though, as I wouldn't be sad about the car :P
Thank u for the 4 years of effort. It's been a journey and looking forward to more Giulia QV content from u! Could do with less f bombs tho...lol
This is one awesome video. I love Alfas. I see more people are buying them now. Great job great video and great car.
This video put a smile on my face. Hope to get one of these at some point in the near future.
I owned a Ti Sport for a year. The most beautiful car I ever owner, inside and out. The drive was incredible. But I had so many problems with it and such a horrible dealer experience that I sold it last spring. Thanks to the used market craze I sold it for what I paid for it. I still look at them when I see an alfa on the road, but I know it was the right move.
yeah bad dealer service will make you go nuts owning any brand car these days we simply do not have patience. For what i went through and still own this car after 4 years means i love the experience every time i get behind the wheel and realize there is not better car in this segment that would make me happy so I just roll the dice and keep enjoying it as much as possible.
What year was your alfa
Looks gorgeous and menacing in black 👊😎
I’m more of a Mercedes guy, but I really love the sound! Thank you for the awesome review!
the AMG are awesome and have their own unique sound and personality but the Alfa feel, sound and quirks along with the sharp handling is unlike anything else out there today.
@@autofanaticcars I can imagine, the video was very convincing! I love the crackles when upshifting!
Great video once again. I definitely agree that cars like this will be a thing of the past unfortunately. Still waiting for the day that I get my QV. Keep us informed the day you're willing to sell yours.
3 weeks ago I was in my Viper messing around with some young guy in a Quadrifoglio. Started watching your vlogs again and now I end up with a Quadrifoglio. Thanks you're a very bad influence. Hearing you talk about the brand and listening to the car I couldn't take it, I cracked.
Welcome back! What year and model Viper you have I want to buy a 15-17 GTS or GTC
Amazing Video!! 100% agree with You. Same for me with My 4C. The car is super and after my modification it is Mega. Last week I met an other owner of a 4C. He has also a M5 competition, but he loves his 4C (Bmw is ok for him but Alfa is bring You something special in yours heart ❤️🍀)
I am so tempted to grab a 4C soon but the few on the market last few months have too many miles and no records i am waiting for the cream puff example in black or red
As I’ve followed your four year journey with the Quadrifoglio I’d like to say I was cross shopping this car with an 2018 BMW F80 Comp pkg. at that time but ultimately picked up the F80. I can unequivocally say my love hate has been only love through my last four years. But I will say I’ve truly enjoyed your journey as well.
I had an F80 when they came out, cool cars and way nicer looking than the new Ugly G80 the BMW just lacked the insane razor sharp front end the Alfa QV has and the sound of the Alfa is really exotic in nature which I love, sounds like a coffee machine about to explode with a hint of Ferrari in the octaves.
I been owning my qv for over a year now, I wanna thank you for make so much detail videos about this car, I love this car. She's a perfect daily driver.
Glad you like them! and keep enjoying your QV
I’m new to your channel and just saw the M3 video! I love your take on cars and I have always liked the the Giulia QV! It’s so Italian and it being a love hate relationship makes so much sense! I definitely need to go drive one!
Just your content alone makes me want this car great video man
Inspiring to see how much attention to detail you have put into this dream car. Wondered if you had ever considered the Koshi GTM body kit, especially since the only blemishes you mentioned were some speckled small chips to the front bumper. Love Italian women and Italian cars. Hope to drive into the sunset in a Quadrafolio with passion fruit crem brulee in shotgun soneday. Anyway. just subscribed and am looking forward to check out more of your videos.
Has 4 years just flown bro....I remember you getting this and following your journey
Great update as usual. Glad you went with the POV perspective this time! Love my QV and I share your enthusiasm!
Thanks again!
I take delivery on a 2019 2.0 l turbo Guilia next Friday. I have a ton of twisty country back roads with 55 mph speed limits. Just a lower middle-class guy that's about to have his hands on a piece of racing history and pedigree. ☘️
Congratulations and enjoy it
I've been thinking about getting one of these since I heard about them in 2005. This video might of helped me make my decision lol. Great content 👌
I do love hearing talk about the QV. Your passion comes through in a tremendous way. It makes me remember what I loved about mine when it was running well. It makes me build one every time on Alfa. Lol
you should get another one, sometimes cars can be lemons other times you get lucky
@@autofanaticcars it's a risk, and I put 43k miles on my macan in less than 2 years.
yeah youll need a spare car most likely like myself ha ha ha
To me the best looking exterior in the car industry so far. Perfectly suits for a single confident man with a bunch of fleeting connections 😊
Couldn't agree more!
RIP that "new m3 take" 🤣
Great video, love the little bit where you said “in the foam insert” so caring for your cars😀👍
Glad you enjoyed it
watched the last video 4 year ago & now this . i will be getting one soon
I want to say thank you for this video and all the content you do! I can’t appreciate the QV content you provide and all the experience insight or opinion through the years !!! I still always come back to your videos and content ! But I got to ask if you had to do it over again, would you ?! 😊
Yes I think so because I really do not like anything current from Audi, BMW or Mercedes the only amazing comparable driving sport sedan is the new Cadillac CT4V Blackwing but i just hate the styling and the brand just does not excite me at all which is why nobody cares about those cars on social media. the Alfa is special and always will be especially with manufactures going to EV now on everything.
@@autofanaticcars would you put the ATSV then right behind this 😌
I posted an old ATSV review on the channel few months back it was filmed in 2018 right before I go my Alfa Romeo QV. I was seriously considering getting one but they were hard to get with a manual gearbox and the automatic was horrible. That car is excellent overall the steering, brakes and handling however the engine was not special, had no soul like the Alfa therefore an older BMW M3 E90/E92 I would chose over the Cadillac today if the Alfa was not an option.
they aren't looking at you because you're loud, they're looking at you because you're going 45 through neighborhoods
Getting mine very sion! Can’t wait! Thanks for the video!
Someone on TH-cam buying A car, liking A car and keeping A car for more than 1 year. Crazy!
yeah god thing I do not buy cars for TH-cam i buy cars for me and then decided to share with you guys.
Awesome video!! This was very enjoyable to watch!!
I honestly see these cars appreciating with how new m3s, c63s, and rs5's direction have been going. Anyone else? Thoughts? This is a pure enthusiast car minus a manual.
absolutely typical Maserati & Alfa cars always dropped like bullets but the Alfa Romeo QV variants are really holding strong in todays market and will only get better as the are rare and limited models. Audi, BMW and AMG produce far more of their performance models in numbers making them not as rare on the road or open market in reality.
@@autofanaticcars exactly my thinking. I own a 2017 QV and it's an absolute thrill. Most reviews I've seen on any new product from the other 3 have only complaints which strayed me away from even generating interest in purchasing. Interested to see what happens in the next few years.
Top G of the Alfa quad world 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Really debating on trading my 2014 mustang GT for one of these. Love the mustang but this is just a next level experience
Beautiful. I want a green one with bronze/gold wheels to keep as a garage queen so I don't have to deal with the reliability 😅☘️
Fortunately it's '24 and they're still selling them in the uk, sadly the Quadrifoglio interior options have been removed as in leather colours, stitching etc, crazy that you could never option a sunroof for the Quadrifoglio but could on other models.
I love them, people slag off the infotainment system. For me the car is the pleasure. I only ever use the radio or MP3 on boring cars. Cars that stir you don't need gimmick electronics or piped in fake sound.
Not gonna lie, your channel made me mildly obsessed with one of these, I plan on owning one within 9 months ish
do it if you can find one there are not many of these out there, let alone exceptional ones with low miles do not buy a worn out beater get the best you can afford and enjoy the hell out of it
This entire Giulia range is legendary. If Alfa put some money into advertising a great product the sales wouldn't be so poor.
Your content is second to none
thanks for watching and the kind words and support. AF
I was close, a year away from purchasing a QV Giulia. Turns out I'm becoming a daddy. Baby funds, saving for a home, plus student loans made me back out and be responsible. Got a 2020 Giulia Ti Sport AWD. I love it. Too bad by the time I can afford a QV again, everything will be electric and soulless.
at least you still have a Giulia on the Giorgio platform which are fun regardless of the engine, we love our Stelvio Ti Sport as a daily.
Another great video Phil. Love what you did with this car and appreciate your constant yearly updates. I have a 2019 Stelvio and will keep it around for years to come. Question: what is the opening/closing song you used?
thanks man, song not sure a friend sent me the file no idea who it is but seemed perfect for this video
@@autofanaticcars please send soundcloud/mixcloud link or title!
PS. The song must be some king of remix of "V O E - Fall". But I cannot find using Shazam.
Hi Phill can you make a video of the red tool you were showing us please. From the Alfa team in Germany. You make great videos thanks bro 🇺🇸🇺🇸👍🏽♥️
Masterpiece
Kills my soul seeing you drive in second and third gear on 5k rpms without accelarating 💔💔 Besides that, car looks amazing!
if you actually owned this car you would know exactly where the power band is on backroads FYI. plus it sounds better driving it up the redline on upshifts and downshifts. this is a performance car not some economy car and if i cruised all along like grandpa at 2500 RPM how boring would that be.
@@autofanaticcars I know very well where the power is and understand your standpoint but that only applies when the car is driven hard. Cruising through neighboruhood in second isn't that :D
I want this car so bad ! I drove the regular stelvio ti sport and i was already impressed. SO light, handling is amazing, only thing is seats may be uncomfortable long term , pretty hard seats
What cost of maintenance like? I'm considering getting one, but dont want to break the bank for upkeep, heh.
Keep that beauty and beast, like you said they're probably not gonna be around, it'll be a collectors car and worth A LOT. Thanks for the tips, very helpful!
That's the plan for now
Fantastic channel, one of the best on TH-cam. If you sell it you will regret it forever
Glad you enjoy it!
Thanks Phil - great content - appreciate the risks you have taken with your baby by modifying her! I have had my QV for 3 years now, I bought it used - it was a steal at almost half sticker price with 6k miles on it. I love this car. I haven't had many issues with it, and I drive it hard here in Texas where you can drive fast on the highway and no one really notices. I have had 3 maintenances done, one major, for a total of 4,400. I have had repairs done after warranty expired (UGH - a whole other story) for another 2k. So maintenance and repairs over 3 years have been 6,400. The ECM was reprogrammed to eliminate a throttle response error, the radiator was leaking and replaced, and a piece of the headliner along the windshield popped off. Thus far it has been reliable, have never been stranded by it. I have purchased 2 sets of tires for 2,800 total. I'm planning to keep this for a long time. I have minor complaints, but that's what they are - minor.
thanks for sharing Paul did you finally opt for the extended warranty yet? I did few months back just for peace of mind. Still deliberating if I keep the QV or sell it right now but not many viable replacements for this car
@@autofanaticcars I haven't pulled the trigger on the extended warranty. Who did you go through - Alfa or a third party? Yes, it would be nice that have that peace of mind for the bad things that happen. I'm planning to keep it and eyeing a Lotus Emira for my next daily driver. How does the warranty work with your modifications? I only want to lower my suspension a little bit, maybe do some spacers to improve the stance. Any, thanks for the great ideas on what the car is capable of if one is industrious!
visit Mopar Extended Warranty Only and call them directly for the options only thing that does suck is there is a deductible for warranty work but its not much
@@autofanaticcars Thanks, will investigate!
@@autofanaticcars Hi Phil, I did get the extended warranty for my Alfa - 4 years 60k miles, which will take me up to 100k miles. By then I'll have another daily driver. Glad that I purchased it because I recently had the rear passenger side suspension started clunking. Think it is a bad drop link? I should be covered by the warranty, but the car makes awful thumping noises when driven and feels unstable. So it is in the garage waiting to go to Alfa Romeo for warranty work - they are backed up for two weeks. They will also be looking at some codes my scanner picked up, fuel rail issues and throttle, and a shudder I had in the engine when I got the throttle error. Every 6 seconds the engine would shudder like it was going to die but the RPM didn't change. Thanks for the insight, so glad I bought it and the Chrysler inspector who came out said the car was in perfect condition.
I’m sitting here drinking coffee watching you drive in our area; unfortunately I may be in a position where I have to buy 2 cars this week as my older cars may have given up the ghosts. Cesspool of NY? Couldn’t agree more! However your statement below that “but quality control is what is lacking today in all service industries” couldn’t be more accurate; hence my loathing of car shopping. Keep up the good work- an Alfa may be one of my replacement cars….
thanks Paul it is such a shame even today to try to buy a car absolutely ridiculous how dealers and sales staff just do not care. People need to stop this lazy work ethic and give a damn to help customers today too many bailout checks being mailed has decimated the US work force in every single industry sector.
Owned the m5 f90 since it came out, never had to have the car towed, i drive it like i stole it. Italian cars are and will forever be, italian cars.
Cruising at over 5k rpm is insane 😂
i love the giulia, owned the base model once and that car was awesome. i might be in the market for either a veloce or Quadri in the future. The only thing i'm worried about is the winter, did you still drove yours during this season and if so, whats your experience with it?
Hey AF subscriber from Philippines, detailing enthusiast, havent tried your products but i will soon, already found your local distributor. Just wanna say keep ng Alfa Romeo
Welcome aboard! and our Asia distributor will set you all up with our latest amazing products. Have fun.
Glad I came across this channel great content… I agree with everything you about being a car enthusiast some people won’t relate.
thanks for watching the content
Good advice, ive got a QV im collecting soon!
Nice video man 👍🏼 I own a Alfa Romeo Gulia and had my sunroof function mess up recently, I was wondering if you’ve ever had an issue with that?
4 years of ownership at the time of this video and only 15k miles...safe to say you don't drive it very much😁
My dear
if you have been driving for 4 years like in this video
cruising for dozens of minutes at 4500 rpm in low gear at 50 mph
and irrationally shifting gears
Well then no doubt , this car is truly rock solid !
But anyway I am convinced that such a powerful and sophisticated car should be treated much better and not like any hyundai
I definitely wouldn't buy a used car from you
you need a better camera, looks like you're driving into heaven
I’ve been waiting your channel for quite some time I wanted to get one but In the past it wouldn’t fit my life style. I’ve enjoyed watching your journey with the car and appreciate all the work and effort you put into. If you are really going to sell it what would you take you to part with it? If I was going to buy a used one it would have to be yours. Thanks for another great video.
reach out one day to discuss if your interested
I genuinely believe if Alfa would make a faster version of the quadrifoglio that was slower than a gtam around a track but made more power and had the updated interior and infotainment systems, it might actually sell better, it’s dated compared to everything else technologically
i agree I was forced to sell the Alfa 3 months ago due to continuous electrical issues that made the car unbearable and unsafe to own. Picked up a new M3 for the time being and love it and the tech is so advanced the Alfa feels like a dinosaur. Alfa builds a killer looking and driving car but their electrical systems as a huge problem and dealer techs have no clue how to fix these cars which makes ownership stressful
Awesome video awesome car, was surprised to see the Mopar sticker on the fuse panel, I didnt realize these we're part of Mopar ☺
yeah Alfa is part of FCA which they put the stupid Mopar logo on parts for Alfa and Maserati so weird to see.
have very much appreciated your passion and sharing of this car - one I really, really wanted and almost bought - until our local DFW dealer turned out to be a crook and was shut down. The remaining dealer was simply too far a drive for a car that clearly was going to spend time in the shop and I just couldn't justify the risk. Still think the QV is a peach and would love to own one, if I can ever feel confident in finding a good, reliable place to have it serviced.
dealer network is the biggest issue on North American and beyond and this is the only reason for me to even consider selling the car since relocating puts me more at risk of not having any local dealer support.
i always wanted one in red competizione but black with red interior is also an amazing combo. what a car, only needs a carbon diffuser and thats it.
I had a 2021 Alfa Rosso QV last year as well but I prefer black on most of my cars but both look amazing
@@autofanaticcars i know, you sold it, it drove differently you said.
What a machine. Thanks for the video and sharing your thoughts on the car. Sorry you're considering selling.
car is awesome my only fear is moving sand not having any dealer to support it in the near future and that is my only reason to consider selling it otherwise i would never let it go.
Love the channel and this car, Ill be in the market for a QV in about a year but i have a reservation as I live nowhere near a Alpha dealer for the just in case scenarios.
Have you had a chance to drive the new Maserati MC20? I wonder if it’s as exciting to drive as the Quadrifoglio since it shares the engine block. I also read that the MC20 was originally was to be an Alfa Romeo.
i have not no dealers will allow a test drive up my way yet the sales girl has pestered me for 3 months now to buy one for 75K over sticker and I just laugh. The MC20 should have been an Alfa Romeo if you look at every review there is zero buzz or enthusiasm for Maserati in general let alone the MC20 which is such a shame how they diluted their brand by having sub par cars for so long. It is a great car but is not getting any love in the real world today because for over 300k owning a Ferrari is just more special in the end.
@@autofanaticcars 75k over? They should be arrested. Thieves.
MC20 have engine "Nettuno", the lone with pre-chambers combustion, 3000 V6 turbo with 630 Hp 730 Nm.
F1 technology engine + Know-how Engine Giulia QV and many hours reserch = Nettuno engine
What a beautiful ride, gotta love an alfa, art on wheels...
Definitely!
Love you Enthusiasm .Car people will appreciate your experience
thanks Scott
Awesome video, awesome car!
