Love that Alpha is keeping their old school hooded gauge cluster. Too many cars are looking the same these days...a 2 foot long continous flatscreen in front of the driver simply lacks soul and excitement. Of course a big part of the excitement with driving an Alpha is going a few days in a row with no warning lights or other things going wrong😂
Does the steering suspension provide feedback (stiff)? It feels like most modern sports luxury brands are pretty non responsive in terms of steering feel. All feel like a Camry
Make sure you change the oil every 5K miles or so with that motor. I drove it aggressively, and listened to the factory intervals. Learned my lesson the hard way. Had a 17, had 72k on it when I traded it in, and it had random misfires and shit because of that. Traded it in for a 2019 Giulia with less than 5k miles on it.
If I had the disposable income to easily afford either one I'd also choose the Alpha against my better judgement. The Audi is more likely to last past the warranty period, but the Alpha would make every drive feel special.
The only manual ones I’ve seen is if you get the Quadrifoglio. It has the twin turbo V6 that I think Ferrari had a hand in on developing. This trim fetches a way higher price tag too.
Been looking for an upgrade from my Gulietta 1.4 multiair to perhaps this. But there are basicly no manuals on the second hand marketplace shop or extremely expensive. All the others are automatic.. If i would get one I would always use the paddle shifters to make up for it. Just never drove an automatic and it seems boring to me so that's holding me back. Need to have some alternatives which are manual but don't know which ones
In Greece Giulia is anything but economical/cheap ! They re starting at approx 55k euros 💶 and I am fearing reliability problems past 60k miles … I ‘ d rather buy a Hyundai i30N at 39k euros which is very fun too and way more reliable…. Same with Megane RS , Mini Cooper, Type R , Focus ST , GTI/ clubsport and so on
By your comment you know nothing about cars same old crap reliability a car is as reliable as its owner try looking at German garbage if your talking about unreliable
Funny that you list so many options that are known for their unreliability (apart from the Honda and Renault). But even for the Honda, you have to stay away from the later turbo engines. The Alfa from this bunch is #2 in reliability, right after the Renault.

@@alex_b_9850they're a steal on the used market. One of the few cars that seems to still depreciate. You can find low mileage 17-19s for less than 25k.
I own a 2020 Giulia. Has 32,000 miles and no issues other than a n occasional infotainment center glitch which resolves on its own quickly. It’s a real Italian sports car. It’s an Alfa Romeo so it performs and drives beautifully.
How does paddle shifting make it more aggressive. It has a medicore engine and drivetrain and boring transmission. The interior is extremely outdated. It’s the worst option in the luxury sports sedan segment. Your reviews are terrible
@jbm0866 The biggest complaint I have is the infotainment system. It isn't user-friendly at all. I have to return the car tomorrow due to a check engine light. Car only has 3k miles on it. As far as comfort,power, and handling, it's a nice car. 👌
@@WVCUR77 infotainment is common sore spot in many different cars these days, but unless there are functions buried in there (like a/c or heat) I really don't care about the center stack.

Was the engine/chassis/steering at least pretty good? I'd never go for the base anyway, I'd have to have the full fat Quadrifolio🤘😎
Have you seen the price of a 330i today? The Giulia is 44K and comes standard with leather heated seats and many other features. Comparable 330i is 48-50k. Saying it is just a Fiat is stupid because and factually wrong because it shares nothing with the Fiat platforms.

Okay people time for some hard facts.... This is a glorified Fiat.... Loses 70% of its value in the first 2 years.... I have been a Master mechanic on this garbage for years and believe me they are not worth it and will be constantly in and out of the shop contrary to what this man says 😂😂😂.... suckers purchase 😮
I bought the same exact Veloce you test drove at Boston Motor Sports 😂
Update?
i love how unbiased you are got my sub
Forza Italia!!!!🇮🇹
ALFA ROMEO ist luxury Premium Benchmark!

Good prices used better make sure it’s under warranty with how much power that 4 cylinder pumps

@@NOrlando952 common sense.
@@NOrlando952it probably just needed plugs or coils at that mileage. Can happen to any car.
@@NOrlando952 are they good cars? I’m thinking about getting one. ?
@@NOrlando952 Multiair failure. Switch that up and then do shorter oil change intervals. Mechanically the engine is good for at least 250k miles.
I’d certainly take the Alfa v6 over an Audi s5

There are some manual models made but they rare

When will it be aviable?
It’s been available for 5 years. If you have the budget, go lease one (never buy a car like this new.) You can likely get a killer deal on it.
@@alex_b_9850the used are going for like 25-30k which seems pretty fair. The Evoque is going for much more despite their reputation (2020+)

I like the Giulia, but I heard many times that Alfas are not reliable. And that makes me skeptical about buying one of these.
owned two for the last six years with absolutely no issues.
Too much alfa hate I want one tho Im not listening to what people are saying 😂
Alfa its not reliable only in balkan...
45k, so far so good.

Well...
1) Not cheap
2) Not the most reliable
3) Quite low stock of aftermarket parts
Check the used market, these are a steal. Low mileage examples for less than 25k. Brand new the price is too high compared to competitors.
I think you perfectly described audi or any other German car
Perfect description of the majority of the Alfas ❤
If you buy it you will never get that money back. No value there.

WTH does this have to do with a car review?
My god pumps your god in the pooter.
as an Italian i don´t trust our cars =)
As an American, I don’t trust our cars 🙃
Delusion for Sale, better known a mechanic
Just say it has a ferrari engine
It does not, V6 is ferrari based engine, 4 cylinder is not
Is 60,000miles too much
What????😢😮

Tell me you know nothing about cars without telling me you know nothing about cars
I prefer Afla Rómeó over German luxury sedans. The German cars have way too much technology that will break and cost a fortune to fix.
Germans are too expensive to maintain and not worth the price tag
Italians are 2x times more likely to break down than the Germans
Currently have one as a rental, and it's the worst car I've ever driven.
In what way?
