This review to me carried a lot more weight than any of the ones the motor journalists do, because it comes from a real person, with real knowledge from a mechanical perspective, and clearly a down to earth honest person. The gold standard if you ask me.
Enjoy! You deserve it! Maybe I will someday to.
Go for it.
@@ItaliaAutos no money, no honney, no funny...
Italia, would you buy a 2nd hand QV with 45k km on it if it was serviced by Alfa? Am between new or 1y old Veloce or 2nd hand QV. Veloce economy is almost as bad as QV's. QV will be more expensive to maintain down the line but the gas mileage between the two will be very close. Greetings from Germany.
@@chupachups24 ppppppppppppp
What a brilliant review on your new car like you said who's bothered about entertainment systems when you've got a alfa guila. As for your wheels buy some garage therapy wheel shampoo which is brilliant stuff to look after those wheels.
Glad you like it. Thanks for watching
A nice line, but two hundred miles into the journey, the radio is on.
159 is looking better
Would be interesting to know what services it has had done throughout the 50k and how much it all roughly cost. Also if the service history has any extraordinary work done to it
Lovely colour! Picked up my Quadrifoglio from Saber a few weeks ago, awesome car and loads of content my channel also 👍
Awesome
Congrats! What a beauty, enjoy driving it for many, many effortless miles :)
Finally snatched a second-hand Giulietta myself 2 weeks ago (the 1.4TB 170hp version), after looking for a decent one for well over a year. So, can relate to the sensation of getting a new Alfa, albeit one which might not be as epic as this Giulia :D
Well done Neil, I had a massive smile on my face when you rev'd her up 😃
Not bad. The engine on mine blew up at 30,000 miles and less than 2 years ownership. One of the best cars I had ever driven as a daily driver up to that point. 😉
Interesting, would you like to elaborate a bit on that? Did you find out what caused it - are there some precautions a person can take or something to look out for?
Motoring journalists complain about dashboard plastics because they are a bunch of corrupt idiots who take money from VAG. Maybe I am just weird but in 20+ years of driving I have NEVER started touching parts of the dashboards in my car and musing that they were cheap feeling.
It's coz Motor journalists are jaded by all the cars they review. 2nd, everybody wants a car to be as solidly built as a German car but forget that there is no free lunch. A big part of the budget needs to go to the extra margin they need to make coz Ferrari had a part in building the engine. Simple as that. They want a German interior? Would they pay up for it? No. They all expect it for free.
Congratulations!!!!, on the purchase of your Giulia QV, look after it, its a collectors item!!
Beautiful Giulia. I have the same year and spec - minus the red trim. I’ve added cf mirror caps and front grill. The front grill can be picked up very cheap as the installation can be expensive, the front bar needs removing. I’ve also order a Larini centre pipe and swapped the P Corsas for GY F1 Supersports which are awesome. Don’t need winter tyres in Sydney. Looking forward to see your new content!
Awesome
Where did you get the front grill from? I want to buy one for mine but can't find a good place to purchase
Hi.... I see you have ordered a new centre pipe..... Did the same mod on mine and afterwards I gained a very strange, really annoying vibration between about 2,200 and 2,800rpm....
Took it back to the Garage that fitted it and they had to modify the brackets a little bit because the pipe was rubbing against the floor every now and again.
Hope you don't get the same issue. But if you do you will know what to look for.
P.s.... You can get an ecu mod to have more power ( if you really need it????....) and exhaust valves open to loud mode if and when you feel like it.
@@mariuskukosh2562 I bought it from my local Alfa dealer here in Sydney.
Congrats! Looks amazing, great spec on it. Definitely my dream modern car!
The Giulia QV is for me the coolest and most interesting car we'll see from Alfa, at least for a few years judging by FCA-PSA plans. Also, with the hybridisation and electrification coming this might well be the very last "pure" Alfa. I reckon it'll surely be a future classic.
i will be the last of a dying breed.
Most desirable car at the moment, that put a smile on your face that you haven't shown us yet🙂
Sure did. Thanks for watching.
You are an intelligent car enthusiast to own this. Its the finest of the class these days. Wonderful car, enjoy! (I own the Veloce 2.0)
It’s sure is and the veloce is a fine car too.
@@ItaliaAutos Thanks! I have added a full carbon fiber trim pack to the interior and exterior of my 2019 Veloce, so it looks very much like a QV, just doesn't have that fantastic V6 engine however.
@@23Piccolina very nice,
I am thinking of getting one .. looking at a modded Giulia ti with interior modified to look all qv and then also looking to test a qv before I make my decision .. and hearing you talk I feel the same.. want to get my first v6 and it should be the QV
@@kalpeshsanatani If the QV works for your budget, I recommend it. I like the 2.0 veloce because of the gas mileage it gets, along with 280 bhp it is fast enough for me. ha ha Good luck in your search for one. I know you will be happy with the Giulia car.
Absolute stunner, well done
Cheers
Check out the AutoFanatic web site and video for a set of CF mud flaps designed for the Giulia. He is located in the US and has these on his web store.
brilliant! watching your work on the busso v6s and then you owning and driving this beauty is a total alfisti highlight. i’ve owned alfasud 1.5, giulietta 1.8, gt bertone 2000, 156 2.0, 159 2.2 jts and 159 3.2 jts. 💜
Wel this is briliant. Congrats on this beauty.
Auto journalists are anything but objective. I am thinking about Veloce petrol, however some people said that engine is bad, it does not last over 70k km. What do you think about it?
Engine is good. I can’t comment on it’s longevity I’m afraid
Well done, stunning car. Real Alfista :)
Thanks a lot!
Lovely car Neil, and well deserved after the shifts you seem to put in back at your workshop.
There's something of the junior supercar about the Giulia Quadrifoglio which you will probably come to feel when you drive it around. People stop and look at it when it's parked and pedestrians stare at it as you pass them by. It also happens to be brilliant to drive!
Turned lots of heads already. Such an amazing car.
I totaly agree with your choice, money you save on buying Veloce is not worth...when you getting Alfa, heart is ALWAYS right!
cheers
Love this car wow ...Alfa wow
"Sticking to the speed limit at the moment. Very busy, out and about."
*floors it 10 seconds later :D
It’s addictive lol
@@ItaliaAutos tell me about it. I've got a 2018 Veloce Q4. It's a hoot.
Tenkte jeg kunne finne deg her LOL
@@jonathanpettersonbredesen6675 jeg er overalt 😁
Giulia QV.... My dream!
My dream car. Looking to buy ASAP. Ti Sport fits me like a glove and feels like it was made specifically for me.
WOW OMG ALFA ROMEO GIULIA 🏆🌟👍🔥🍀 🇮🇹
Wow Neil, didn't know you were thinking of getting one. I'm jealous but if anyone deserves such an Alfa it's you!
The best Alfa of new era!
Congratulations, and great video!
Sure is and thanks
I heard the engine blows up as soon as the warranty is over? is that true? after the 4 year warranty
I’ve only heard of one case in America. I’d assume that was because it was nailed all of its life.
Great video! Would love to see a buyer's guide for the guilia.
One day
Amazing car, Neil, congratulations! 🍀❤️👍
Thanks
Congratulations on your purchase! what a beautiful car Neil, sure to give you years of enjoyment!
thanks
Congratulations! definitely my dream new car
Very good choice
You seem like a chap that works hard and it's nice that you share your knowledge, it has certainly helped me working on my GTV so I say enjoy the Giulia you have treated yourself too. Don't enjoy it so much on public roads you lose your license though!
Great to hear!
Very nice in white
I'd most like to see you do the £1300 4 year service yourself. It'd be great to see what's involved and if some indis, like yourself, can offer at a better price. Cheers
It’s already been done but the main expense is changing the auxiliary belt I believe.
@@ItaliaAutos that's one inaccessible belt 😅
It’s £115 an hour labour lol
E una bella macchina Neil!
Id like to see how it looks underneath after three years, that would be interesting.
I'm sure it will be okay if you half decent clean and maintain it regularly. My 2008 Bravo with 200.000 km on the odo is still rock solid
In another video.
Congrats Neil, lovely car. Track day beckons. Also get it on the ramp for us, be good to see it underneath.
Probably pretty good, not like a BMW.
Do you base your knowledge of Alfas on car magazines from the 90s?
Congratulations on adding a modern Alfa Romeo to your fleet! You chose the right engine and the two tone interior looks great.
thanks
Superb choice and spec. Love it.
Thanks
That's a beauty!!! Have fun and congratulations with the Giulia!!!
Thanks a bunch!
I was wondering when you were going to get one, congratulations!!
no mods, good, just loose BonJovi from the sound system, it will instantly improve
no more wondering lol
I'm sticking to the speed limit........ at the moment 😂🤣😂👍
Good luck with that.
@@ItaliaAutos that's what you said in the video lol!
@@ItaliaAutos 00:03:25
@@ItaliaAutos Great video btw, and congrats on the purchase!!
I bought a Guilia Veloce July 19. It was 3 yrs old 1st Sep. No faults so far and enjoying this special car so much. Turns heads, practical,
Very nice car Neil. You are right, the plastic quality is second to none are but the majority of the motorjournalists complains about the Giulia's quality because they are german oriented. If you like the pure drive ( the very expensive double wishbone suspension and the carbon fiber transmission shaft are only two examples) so the Giulia is the best choice on the today market. If you like infotainment gadgets (with McPerson suspension)....yes...the germans are better. I agree on the fact that in Alfa Romeo they are very weak in the marketing; they are uncapable to emphasize the dynamics quality of their cars. It is also true that the motorjournalists are very good to underline the build quality and the navigator, and other gadgets rather than the dynamics quality.
Great to see you in one of these, enjoy, you deserve it!
many thanks
Did you do a stonechip repair video please, I’m about to start on my biancospino mito, and would welcome a how to beforehand 👍 and gorgeous car.
what a car ! , Just how quick is it 0 to 60 4 secs? will your diagnostic equipment cover it? , any chance of doing a quick under body vid of the suspension would love to see if you get a minute.
your ideas on exploring the design intentions of alfa with the giulia would be amazing! comparing the alfa v6s and this ferrari-alfa engine design would be brilliant. thanks for a superb body of youtube work.
Ill get to more videos on it in 2021
They must be good because there aren't any on the used market around here. I've wanted one since the day they first showed it but I just can't afford one. I do love my 156 2.5 SW but it's 16 years old now, would love to have something newer. I guess I'll have to settle for a used Veloce, not that there are any used ones on sale of those either. :)
amazing. thanks for watching
Thhis is probably stupid what if I saved 40k and then put that down for this vehicle?
Mustang, utter garbage. Over a QV? Give in lad.
And stop messing around, Neil; get it flat.
I do love my American muscle
I once considered the latest shape Mustang. I didn't get past sitting in one as it was deceptively tight inside and the interior design was a bit naff, which didn't really suit me. I still like to see other people driving them though but that'll be where I leave it.
This Giulia though, one day, I'd like to make my third Alfa.
Fabulous video Neil and a lovely car. I bought my 2017 QV just before lock down and totally agree with your comments. Weirdly, I traded my Audi S5 in for the Alfa for just the reasons who had for not going with the German. I also was hoping for a QV coupe but sadly that's not to be and I also considered a 5.0l Mustang but they are just too big for the narrow roads round here.
Many thanks again for sharing your thoughts. Enjoy!
thanks for watching.
Nice car Neil .Enjoy many hours of great driving. We have one but it's the mundane diesel one. Great car. Absolutely love it. Regards from Ireland.
Thanks 👍
Brilliant , keep it as it is , it needs nothing , I would have the wheels back to light grey but that's taste . And that's all the content you need - more videos on it , maintenance , what it cost to own , can we do the basics ourselves , things like that , you had some pretty good ideas yourself .. One more thing Neil , does the Quadrifoglio worth the price difference with a normal Veloce ? If you don't realy that much power ?
yes totally different car compared to veloce. thanks for watching
Congrats, saving money myself, but then the standard model.
Not envious. At all.
:)
Even your face look different! Haha, very happy for you.
I’ll have to have one too, prob a manual, living in LHD country.
Thanks for watching
Top car
thanks
XDDD finally i decided to buy 159 but then 2 days later i saw 1 on side of the road driver was frustrated lol idk now..
oh dear.
great content. please get a microphone, its hard to hear u at times.
I thought it was a new car but look at the exhaust it's filthy
Very nice Neil .
I have driven one 3 years ago on a test drive , What a machine they are.
I would like one but it will take a load more years & saving to get one.
Awesome
Neil, when you touch up the stone chips look up AMMO NYC - Larry has a super detailed video on how to make them look seamless.
Watched his stuff before
Best car in the world, worst camera in the world :)
Epic car! The others you considered buying, you didn't really have a hard time choosing...
She is so worth it!
Enjoy mate!
Not really but I had to make sure I made the right choice.
Congratulations! You are driving my dream car. I'm obsessed with a QV but on Veloce money! It's gonna be a while. Great colour and interior too. Enjoy!
thanks for watching
Stunning mate and well deserved. This is the reward for hard graft! Hope you have many miles of enjoyment!
Hope so!
Thanks for the update! One word though: the engine in the Q isn't a Busso engine. Bussos are the 2.0, 2.5, 3.0 and 3.2 V6 engines Alfa used from 1979 to 2005-ish. It was the same engine with varying bore and stroke. The Q engine is a very different beast ...
I know its not a busso. I was comparing the engine sound to that of the giulia 2.9 engine.
C'mon: Rice it up!
But yes I am envious. They have not done a classic Alfa and dropped like a lead weight in price. I am envious.
thanks for watching
Where are you going to take it for servicing? :D
It will probably get done myself.
Absolutely gorgeous car love the interior great colour choice are you going to paint the calipers a different colour or are you sticking to stock. You deserve it for all the hard work you do so enjoy jammy git😁
Cheerem sticking to black.
Thanks so much for this video...grinning from ear to ear!😊😁....Great choice of a fantastic car and love the colour. Cheers.
So glad you enjoyed it.
Super nice car! What a step up from the 156GTA which used to be the fastest modern Alfa youcould buy.
Where did you get that Michael Franzese soundtrack?
youtube royalty free music. its an awesome car.
@@ItaliaAutos Thnx and enjoy it! Like that soundtrack as well
I see Alfas around and they all look cheap, like plastic. Also, this model and the other cars of this class are all boring looking. For the price, they should be better looking than they are. Not even 14 minutes into the video and there have already been 3 commercials? Thumbs Down
the commercials are down to youtube putting them in not me.
Great video, some observations from me. 100% agree with you about the interior, I think it's amazing & I even prefer the old style carbon finish which is not in the MY20 model. Looks like that QF has had a life of car washes and both the calipers and the rear diffuser have had some harsh chemicals on them, my QF similar age doesn't have faded calipers probably because I hand wash it. Curious about your brakes as mine as not that grabby, still running OEM as well. For video ideas, which has not been done before. You could do one about the water ingress issue, and maybe how to remove the pitting from the exhaust tips haha (same as mine now). Oh, and definitely get the exhaust valve mod, that's the only mod you need for the beast!
Thanks.
Here's mine cold start valves open with the AHM mod - th-cam.com/video/RUEB6NEjhE8/w-d-xo.html Just you wait until the winter with the valves open...EPIC!
nice review, I agree with everything you said. I have a Giulia Veloce since February 2018 and I can only say again that I agree with you!
Cheers thanks for watching
Congrats Neil, lovely car. Track day beckons. Get it up on the ramp also for us to see the underside.
It’s on the list
Loved the channel already and now you have a Giulia as well, even better! I have a Speciale but the QV is the goal
awesome
I don't like white cars in general but some just show up well in it. And that interior with the red looks great. You scored my friend!
Did I miss you saying how many miles it has?
thanks 50k miles
A way better car than a Dodge Challenger
Fair play! Looks good in that colour. I hope you managed to find a pre April 17 on to miss the road tax hike ?
It’s the higher tax but goes down to £150 in 2 years
Congrats man! I hope (and trust) you enjoy every second with the QV. Tbh I've been drooling over for one couple years now and have the exact same thoughts about other cars I'm interested of as well. Guess I gotta pull the trigger once the right QV comes to sight.
It's been a fun 8 months. I'll be doing an update video soon.
@@ItaliaAutos can't wait for it. Have you been driving the QV through mud and snow or has it been in the garage during winters?
Bravo, good choice! I agree with you, it is an amazing car; I had mine for a while and every time I go for a ride she puts a smile on my face...enjoy!
thanks for watching.
Nice one. Take it to the Nurburgring. Be awesome there!!!
It sure would
take it on a road trip to italy Neil
Woooow! Congratulations! I am very happy for you. Did you check whether it got the upgraded scuttle so it does not drain water onto the ECU and engine wiring loom? As far as mods go, keep it original. The only thing I see that it needs is a nicer set of exhaust tips, maybe Akrapovic style carbon ones or just polish up the originals. I hope to see it on a ramp and showing the mechanicals. You do not see a lot of mechanical stuff about the QV on the webs. Best and enjoy it as much as you can! Check out the Michelin PS All Season tyres, read up on them and they seem to be perfect if you do not have snow in your area.
Yes I checked with saber on it’s recalls. I need to do something they all seem to go like this saw a 2019 one that was the same.
@@ItaliaAutos Yes, that is a major problem. Saw examples online that went through dealerships 4 times and they never fixed that.
Congrats, you made the right choice, an audi will not suit you from what I see, not special enough for you, especially after seeing your reaction to the 4C. Even the Challenger is a bit "meh".
i need a rare sight on the the roads too. hate having a car everyone's got
@@ItaliaAutos Yes, otherwise you'd feel like a clone of "mr no one" :/
How much is the road tax mate working all hours pays off in the end like the car a lot
Yeah it’s not cheap £475 until it’s 5 years old then it’s £150.
Have fun driving this beautyfull piece of kit...!!! 👍🏻
already done 700 miles
Beautiful car .. can't wait for you to strip the engine down!
You’ll prob be waiting a long time lol. Why would you do that....
Congrats on the new Alfa... I test drove one & thought it was ace. Great addition to your channel too
cheers
Saber is a great guy, bought my Giulia Speciale from him a few weeks ago
sure did a great job
Beauuuutiful! 😎👌🏻 I love these cars. I was looking at these Alfa giulia qvs for a while but I really needed a station wagon so after almost 3 years of saving and looking about I picked up an E63 S AMG wagon a month ago (w212 facelift) 😄👍🏻 cheers!
Ps more on the Fiat coupe please! 😁
I had one of these. Brilliant car, well worth it
Fantastic purchase! Love it. Happy for you. But for the love of god please change your handposition on the steering wheel. 500hp in a quick steering Gulia and you handling the steering wheel like its a american cruiser...
Previous owner likely had a set of fancy aftermarket wheels with summer tires, and ran the stock wheels with winter tires in winter.
Great point!
I always knew you was a cool guy but now i am sure. Very nice color to!
Lol. Thanks
I own a 2017 2.0 (280hp) and I'm absolutely in love with it.
Can't even imagine what it's like to drive the QV.
Beautiful machine brother.
Hows the reliability so far? You got base or Ti? Awd?
@@vincentv1790, 28k miles and not a single issue, apart from software updates.
The build quality is not like the Germans but it makes it up in performance and styling.
I own a base AWD.
Age isnt how you measure how well a car has held up , milage is , im not sure if i missed it but , whats the milage on this car when doing this test?
50k miles.
