( www.alltfl.com/ ) Check out our new spot to find ALL our content, from news to videos and our podcasts! The Alfa Romeo Giulia is among the best handling sports sedans you can buy, and the Quadrifoglio drives that point home with a 505-horsepower, Ferrari-derived V6 engine. However, at well over $80,000, it's not what you'd call "affordable". However, there's another car in the Giulia lineup that uses some of the Quadrifoglio's tricks, and it's $25,000 less expensive to boot. Check out the new Giulia Estrema!

The Q4 is faster when launching due to the AWD; 5.1 vs 5.6 claimed by Alfa with a lot of owners getting into the high 4s. Plenty quick. Items you’ll be in the shop for are electronic such as infotainment or a leak on the timing chain cover that’s repaired around 20-30k. Get a MOPAR MaxCare warranty that covers the vehicle up to 8yrs/125k miles and enjoy the drive with peace of mind.
20-30K for leak repair? Did you really mean to say at 20 to 30,000 miles when it needed repair?
What is a phenomenal suggestion
I live in Colorado and have a 2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia and even as “old”as my car is this is pretty consistent with what I’ve seen, it’s great to see Alfa Romeo keeping it fun even in the newer models
Tommy and Andre, Thanks for bringing an interesting version of the Giulia!! It has plenty of zip, great breaking, and all of the suspension goodies for a lot of fun in the canyons. So many people want to be blown away by a car, but this version calls on skill to make the full use of what it HAS. Sweet look, great dynamics, and a motor that baits you into working with it. Thanks again!!
One of the best sport sedan. Handling and design are the best of class in my opinion
The 4-cyl is the best all around Giulia. In AWD form, you can rip to 60 in 4.8/4.9 and cruise at 75 on the hwy for hours getting 36 mpg. Telepathic handling that is second only to Porsche and real butter soft Italian leather seats at a price Benz and BMW only give you vinyl.
The sound of the quad whatever you call it is fantastic though.
I have the RWD TI Lusso with the wider QV wheels, and I've found that the best rpm to launch from is about 2,500 2,800 without the ESC kicking in, I usually average just over 5sec 0-60 mph. Because of all of the electronic nannies, you really have to be adept with the car to squeeze out optimum performance.
We have a '21 Stelvio, and so far it's been great! In Dynamic mode it will hold gears to redline and keep out of the higher gears until you are cruising.
I also read somewhere that it's limited to 5500 rpm because of emissions according to the engineer being interviewed, otherwise it could make well over 350 hp.
Loove this spec. I have a 2021 ti sport Q4 in Verde Visconti and have never ever seen my car on the road.. im definitely getting a Quad next tho.
I know everyone likes to focus on the exterior, but in my opinion the interior is where it really blows away the Germans.
The 2.0L excels in the bends, not the drag strip, with a much more lively-feeling front end than the quad.
Better than the Quad? No. Definitely not. They're similar, but the 2.0 just feels lighter weighted. The Quad steering is a bit heavier, but has more feel. Once to get used to it, you trust the Quad more at the limit. I've owned both.
I think these are beautiful cars.
I'd be curious to hear how it compares to similar vehicles on a track than 0-60 times. Isn't that what this car is all about?
Beautiful car
Great content and I love the Alfa Romeo brand 🍀🇮🇹🔥
I chose between this and my Cadillac ATS 2.0 turbo ATS was quite a bit quicker maybe due to weight and there are tuning companies ZZP and a few other ones that help with the addition of power however I did like the offer Romeo Giulia interior quite a bit more
I had a 2019 QV and it was an amazing car. Drove and handled like a dream, but had an addiction of spending time at the dealership. Constant misfire codes and electrical issues which was such a turn off.
For a car that bridges the gap between the base model and the high performance model, one would have expected that it gets more power and a different engine. Maybe the 2.9 V6 detuned to ~300-400hp. The lack of extra power makes this look like an appearance package, and we've had too much of appearance packages with luxury car brands these days.
No we haven't.
My thoughts exactly. The car should have 330-350 horsepower at least.
I say drive the car and we'll talk. The base engine is all you need on the street. As much as I'd like a QV, the base engine versions make more sense.
I agree in some ways - but I test drove the Audi S5 Sportback, M340i and C43 and in the end I'm getting a Giulia even though its down by 100hp on the Merc and BMW and 70hp on the Audi. Drive one and you will understand. Unless you are launching your call all day long 0-100 times don't really matter, and even though the BMW will pull from say 80km/h to 120 km/h faster, it's not enough of a difference to erase the incredible driving experience of the Giulia. The Alfa also just looks so much better.
Must be frustrating with no O2.
Sea level and a jb4, 12's in the 1/4 with mid 4's 0-60.
The trouble with this car for me is the Cadillac CT4-V. Truck motor blah blah, the Cadillac is a sleeper in the segment. I was really impressed with the acceleration and ride.
Launching my LC's sweet spot is 1800-2k in sport + manual. New scat pack roasted TWICE.
I’ve got a 2wd veloce, put a tune box on, I’ve got 4.56 for 0-60 mph..!
Always surprised I don't see more of these on the road. Great looking car. This trim just needs a manual!
I wanted one so bad but ended up getting a Lexus because of the possible reliability issues
@@audiguy28
A Lexus instead of an Alfa? Are you kidding?
Seems like a pretty sweet car but I’d be terrified of the dealership prices for wipers blades and up ha.
What is the steel on the knifes and any idea of the heat treatment ?
I think he said they were carbon steel. That’s the only kind worth getting.
I'd like to see this vs the Jaguar XF
I do like the perfil of the car, not a big fan of the gril tho, I gotta love those wheels!!
Have a 19 Q4, people hating on the reliability must not own a 2.0 Giulia. Excellent daily driver.
Get back to us at 90K miles and let us know how it went.
Matt - what has your (reliability/dealership) experience been w/your Q4 now that it's 3 years old?
@@atastefortheroad4475apart from usual consumables and maintenance, just the EVAP canister having issues, which just throws the maintenance warning but doesn't affect drivability (save the DNA selection), 40k kms on it now. Going to try for the 90k miles...
@@mattshewchuk7182 Thanks for the feedback.
@@davidmccarthy60612018 with 61k miles. 0 issues.
Alfa Romeo reliability issues are in the 90s under
Nothing says a car review like a commercial for a knife set in the middle of said review
I have this model Alfa, identical car except in the UK we get the leather and Alcantara seats from the old model QV. Have to say that this review is testing this car in a very strange way. The Guilia is all about how it handles, especially on twisty roads, it is not a drag racer. Disappointing review of an absolutely fabulous driving car, something that was not even touched on.
It does well in a straight, but thats not the true way to test a car from alfa romeo. Find a windy road and you will see what the car can really do. drive the car with the column paddles around turns and you will forget about straight aways all together. You could also get a simple chip tune and a downpipe for the giulia q4 and get aruond 4.5 0-60 for under 2k total.
Didn't help any on the 60-0 braking test when you hit the brakes 20ft past the cone :) !!!
I feel like you get more for your money in these cars vs the Germans. I also feel like unless you get the Quadrifogllio, maintenance will still never be as expensive as the Germans, especially since they're owned by Chrysler now... The only real big thing to "worry" about in these cars with the 2.0t is the $250 oil changes.
So, does this replace the Ti Sport? 🤔
It's actually positioned above the Ti Sport in features/price.
@@rlsedition
Wow interesting, now my Ti Sport has been demoted 😕
Nice car, but I noticed there's a lot of tire noise inside the cabin.
Pirellis are notoriously noisy. Replace them with Michelin Pilot A/S and the noise drop is really noticeable.
No, it's quieter than my wife's Buick Regal GS on the highway.
It's funny my 89 ae92 Levin would a quarter in 15.05 at 91mph
It sounds like a vacuum cleaner, pretty though
Tell me which base engine competitor sounds better.
you would probably get better times driving it manual mode
Sharp car. Probably a lease vs keeper
It's still nice looking, but this FCA product is getting old without a refresh., especially against its competitors.
If you do the design right in the first place you don't need constant refreshes.
The new Grand Cherokee 4xe does the 1/4 in 13.9 lol
That’s at sea level… this ran suck a slow time due to altitude and it’s the rear drive model
I respect anyone who has one of these simply for being diff. Ive never driven or rode in one. I tried to and the dealer told me they needed a credit check. Ok no. I mean i just test drove a 911, M5, E63 i love these dealers who think they are hot shit. Like the Honda dealer saying your not good enough for this Type R. Bitch please. I can buy and sell you like THAT! I ordered my LC instead. And they did let me test drive it. C'mon guys.
For the love of god i test RODE my V4S, RSV4, SP! Those are high level liter bikes FYI. Dont buy what they wont allow you to test. NEVER!
This sounds like a dealer problem, not the car's issue.
57k? lol WRX, Kia Stinger both better and you save money. M3P does 11.5 1/4 mile and is only slightly more expensive at 63k. This is like what the STI and Evo were a almost 20 years ago.
Lost me at single turbo, k wanna like these cars .. thanks for the video
Very nice looking car reliable well maybe not so much !
Until you actually own an Alfa please stop making spurious comments about reliability. My Giulia hasn't missed a beat so far.
I have my Alfa 2020 problem free. No recalls or warranty items at all. Over 45 thousand km and running perfectly. So much for Alfa deniers. Really fabulous car.
@@nicksobolta717 Its a nice car best of luck with it .
@@nicksobolta717 2022 J.D. Power Vehicle Dependability Study has Alfa Romeo ranked #30 out of 33 total brands with 256 problems reported per 100 vehicles. For reference, #1 was KIA with 155 per 100.
Kia has one of the largest recalls of all makes with over 300,000 cars on recall for the last 5 or 6 years. Their four cylinder engine can fail due to metal debris in the engine. They can't even replace the engines because of cost so they fit a sensor that is suppose to tell you if your engine is blowing up. Lot of good that is going to do. @@jacobw6811
You do not give this car justice at all.
I can’t trust a review of someone is sponsored by kitchen knifes.
The Toyota Camry is the same in the 1/4 mile just saying .
Get real. This Alfa will eat the base engine Camry for lunch. These guys are not the pros we read about from the car magazines who know how to get the best performance times/speeds.
Kamikoto knives...handmade in China using Japanese steel.
They need an engine in between base and Quad.
No one is interested in this trim, without more power.
This is true if you only read spec sheets and don't drive the car. The base engine is perfect for the street without fuel economy or maintenance problems.
I’ve driven the base Giulia and it’s acceleration and handling will blow you away!
Thumbs down for direct injection. No manual transmission.
I,d rather have the G70 2.0 over the 2.0 Alfa
OK, and I would not.
That's not how you do it
Why didn’t you guys pull the traction control fuse and actually launch the car?
I was really hoping Dodge and Chrysler were going to use this platform for a new charger/challenger/300 but we got electric crap
Beautiful car but i'd still never buy one new. I really don't care for staggered wheel and tire setups either, and I'm sure this thing would get better braking if it had a square setup with the 255's up front as well.
beautiful car...sucky knife sales pitch
They are well known to the service department. Haha that’s where they live
Right next to the rest of the Stellantis family. lol
Not uh!
And you would know this how?
Tommy, I’m gonna have to stop you at 280hp, sorry 😂, I’m out
Yeah, like we all need over 500 HP on the street.
ur basically paying 50-100k for a accord lmaooooooo
The Accord is a good car, but the Alfa looks and performs better, as it should.
Not impressed at all there are so many better options at 57k plus price range
Oh really? Like what? And you don't have to purchase the Estrema model; the Veloce has most of what you need.
I see they're still using those godawful hazmat symbol wheels, lol.
Disagree totally. These wheels say "Alfa" and are unique in design.
@@rlsedition No denying they are unique, lol. To me, they scream "Hazmat"...it's all perspective 👍. Happy Thankgiving 🦃.
@@zohaib876 I don't turn to you for my aesthetic decisions.
@@rlsedition Umm...ok? I never said you did, lol.
2.0L , no launch control, no traction control opt & 200 hp 91K ??🤣🤣 what a waste id rather go with a M4 Or M3
Sure, the M3/M4 are great cars for only $80k or so.
It's appealing but they need to offer a trim named reliable.
And how would you know the Giulia isn't reliable? Do you own one? I didn't think so.
Who even buys alpha romeos?
People who are uneducated 😅
@@AntLive29 Well, that’s quite a troglodytic answer.
People that want something different from the usual suspects.
People educated enough to spell...unlike you
People with a extra money for extra repairs lmfao so he was right....
No it’s not the one that I want because it has less power why would Anyone rather have the less powerful car they wouldn’t they were going to settle for the less powerful car
Because it's not a drag racer. The base engine still makes 280 HP, 300 lbs ft torque, and the suspension and chassis still drive great in the mountain twisties. Not to mention it starts at almost half of what the quadrifoglio is and that's important when we're dealing with Italian sports car engine reliability.
Just so you know, the 500+ HP QV version costs some $25k more than this Estrema, but that is in line with its German competitors.
Not worth 57k, specially when you factor in the depreciation of Alfa Romeo, there are much better cars out there for that price.
Oh, like what is "better" for a base engine version if you prioritize looks and vehicle dynamics?
Stick to 4x4 please.... let sports cars alone. It s better for you and the cars...
Overpriced car
Slow and not reliable. Exactly what consumers want.
It's not slow and mine has been perfectly reliable so far. Read performance numbers from the car magazines, not these guys.
Disappointing as usual, the Alfa should be ashamed. The Alfa is gone for good. I don't know why abroad is so considered. It was, but a long time ago. The price is not good either, let's say that it is aesthetically desirable, but it is not enough. You buy one and then you will start paying, until you decide to sell it, because you are desperate. Just my opinion, and experience, of course. Thanks for the video.
I'm sick of non-owners making negative comments about this brand. Unless you have owned a Giulia/Stelvio your comments are nothing but uninformed opinions, not facts.
I was in love with my Giulia and Alfa Romeo as a brand, however, I will never again buy/recommend another Alfa Romeo in my life. I had the brake by wire system fail on me and it caused me to crash and total the car. They sent someone from Bosch to diagnose the vehicle and in the charts it clearly showed that something malfunctioned (brakes were slammed 2 seconds before the impact at 40 MPH and it took more than 1.5 seconds for the speed to start going down.) Stellantis told me that they were not going to take responsibility for it and that I needed to have my insurance pay for the vehicle. Absolute garbage. I will never recommend this car brand to anyone again! Buy an AUDI, BMW or Mercedes instead!!!!!
Aaron C you are a *TROLL* who really needs to stop spamming every Alfa Romeo video! If what you claim even happened, there's always 2 sides to every story and you cry because you didn't get what you want (full replacement instead of insurance market value?). You're alive... think of fatalities due to proven engineering shortcomings in any car unfortunately, like Audi TT (aero instability) or Tesla (erratic autonomous driving) as examples. Again, if true, you crash a car and *blame a system used by other manufacturers* which is not known to have caused problems to anyone else. Who says you didn't crash due to your inadequate driving skills? GROW UP AND STOP SPAMMING, TROLL and be ashamed you've been dismissed on Alfa forums too.
Your full of shit. I have seen this comment several times now from you. You never have owned a Alfa or any car probably.
@@nicksobolta717 Not as full of shit as you! You're just an alfa lobotomite who can't handle any negative criticism from a brand that literally does not give a damn about you. lmao! What a simp! Be gone imbecile!
You post this on every alfa video.... its getting old dude
@@shauns06rubi Stop reading what I post then. I'm not stopping.
The worst brand on the market for reliability
BS. Where's your data (not opinion)?
Alfa Romeo Guilia have the least amount of recalls of any European cars.
Not as peppy as the competition but better styling 🤌
Not true. The Q4 Veloce will hang with any of the base engine competitors.
15 sec 1/4 mile is quick? My 1999 civic SI with 160hp was in 14s and that was over 20yrs ago...... Pretty sad for the alfa
In every other test, the giulia does 13s
Let's have these guys test your Civic and see what times they'd get.
@@rlseditionmaybe they'll get into the 16s haha
@@kayo1265 It's the guys doing the performance runs who are the problem here; the car is plenty fast for a base 4-cylinder. Who else in sport sedans offers 280 HP for their base engine?
@@rlsedition actually I think the new civic type r is quite fast I heard
Slowest times i have ever seen
I NEVER come to this channel for performance specs as they keep testing them under useless scenarios….🤔🤨🤦♂️
