I own this car, in this trim. It is a beautifully engineered thing. Everything is functional, everything is perfect. My first non-sports car and I am thrilled. I have never enjoy driving as much.
Bought the Giulia but I got to drive the Stelvio for a day. Happy with my Giulia but I sometimes wonder if I should have gone with the Stelvio for the road trips!
this is at the top of my list right now. Any issues with your ownership? How long? How many miles? Thats my only concern is the unknown factor long term
@@francesco3207 i own one since 2017, I already drove 90000km and no problems at all. I just made the revisions every 15000km. And I’m still smiling every time I’m driving.
Spot on review. Absolutely endorse this based on my own experience. Replaced my old BMW X3 with the model reviewed and what a difference! Brilliant all rounder and cheap to buy second user because Alfas depreciate fast due to out date perception of the brand. Buy one you won't be disappointed it's a hidden gem.
I have an 18 stelvio ti sport volcanic black metallic. It changes colors and sparkles in the sun. My wife loves it. I just got the 2018 gulia ti sport Silverstone metallic with the crema interior. Love them both.
Bought one last week. Truly this thing handles and carves turns effortlessly and it feels SOOO much lighter than the competition. About 500lbs lighter than the Porsche Macan base suv. I drove a Macan back to back with the Stelvio. I'd rather drive the Stelvio....it's that good. 0-60 in 5.4 seconds and the Macan is 0-60 in 6.3 seconds.Keep in mind that when you option the Macan like the Stelvio, the Macan is at least $10,000 more dollars. If you love to drive... get the Stelvio.
if you have one or planning to buy one I would recommend buying a 2-2 cm widener for the rear axle. It made a huuuuge difference in cornering and high speed driving. With the upgrade it really is solid on the road.
I first had the gulia ,after 50k I traded for the stelvio and allready have 53k both were q4s , in the beginning of September I drove from l.a. to cabo san lu cas , Im going back soon . What a pleasure.
Just drove a diesel Stelvio in South Spain. What is blast! Best steering, power delivery but slow take off due to diesel. Hardly used brakes. Used the paddle shifters to control it. The infotainment seeks dated but it is a driver's car. Putting in order for the quadrifolio.
Parker, the production on those cinematic intros you've been doing has gotten so good, just another great factor in your awesome channel! Keep killin it
Isaiah Martinez it's been called a modern muscle car by pretty much every reveiwer. Almost all AMGs pretty much. It's not a pony but it's got muscle for sure
Mine is stunning to drive. Very fast. Handles like like a sport sedan and hard to believe but with only 300 on odo at 75-80 it got 30 mpg and 500 mile range!!
Question. What's the opinion of e84 BMW X1s? I currently own a Marrakesh Brown, Dinan tuned, 2013. It makes 270hp, and 310blft. I live in Colorado and consistently make 5sec 0-60 pulls at altitude. Difference is with the stelvio is that the BMWs cost on 17-21k used with low miles and can still come with warranty. Only sad thing is no Android Auto options in the bimmer...
Where did you get the weight for the Stelvio because my alfa dealer told me base models come in around 3800lbs, and 4050lb for the base Sport. I was also told springs on the base and Sport are the same, just the seats and the paddle are what changes.
This was an extremely well written review I'm not in the market for an SUV at the moment, but if I were this probably won't have been the deciding factor.
This video is so much better than all of your Vlogs eventhough you don't appear very objective. How can you now that this is the best car in the class without having driven the other ones?
Thanks so much for the review, it was a great review and I enjoyed you on camera! I'm going to look at one.....it's either this or a 2018 Q5. These are heavily discounted in Chicago right now.
I test drove it. PRO: fun, huge discounts, zippy after 1st gear, fast zf transmission. Great handling. Comfortable ride. Nice interior. CON: turbo lag, paddles were too big and got in the way of using the turn signal stick, rear view mirror had a frame and looked old, the rear looks like a $25k Mazda CX-5, is Alfa Romeo going to be able to stay in business?
I generally hate crossovers because they aren’t as practical as suvs and are not as good driving as a sedan. That too, if you are buying an Alfa stelvio, you’d buy it because of its practicality and comfort and not it’s speed. If practicality is what you’re after, then get a Range Rover sport. It has the performance, practicality, more comfort, and is cheaper
Jesus the camera trying to focus made me sea sick!!! Get a better camera Parker cmo!!!! At 1.3M i think you need to up your game in the video department.....
It has the same power and weight as a current Honda Pilot though it does have more torque. Also I can’t get past the grille. It looks like derp face. I can make the face myself but I can’t really describe it better than that
Start-stop button on the steering wheel is the stupidest thing ever:) You only need it twice during a ride, and it is both time when you don’t even need to hold the steering wheel. It just draws the attention away from driving. Steering wheel only needs buttons which are frequently used during the driving.

Have you had any issues with it? That’s what I’m worried about at this time since I’ve heard some horror stories

How’s the car today?

Finally a family friendly ITALIAN BEAUTY.
Thought I was watching Doug Demuro for a second
Vehicle Virals yeah except Doug's videos are good.
IKR
Sam and they're not cringey
3.7
Doug Demuro is the worse! And he hates Alfa and Maserati!

For the price it’s solid 💪🏼
So was your wife..

I am italian and l am very happy to listen to my favourite American youtuber saying good things about an italian car.

Wow I didn't realize how fast it was 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
And the Quadrifoglio version does 0-60 in 3.7 seconds. Wow.
*Parker, please do an in-depth review of Becca!!!!*
Love it. Just bought ours today! Great review!
Mate, please please please, also say all the numbers in EU SI units because a lot of people from europe actually watching you as well.
Parker, the production on those cinematic intros you've been doing has gotten so good, just another great factor in your awesome channel! Keep killin it
Have one in Misano Blue. It gets plenty of looks and admirers at gas stations. It looks so good!
Nice intro. The gimbal shots, edits, music, lavalier & your commentary are coming together to make more & more interesting reviews.
This is the best Stelvio Review ever!!!
I've always loved Alfa Romeo. This model reminds me more of a mid-size sport hatchback, but done the right way for Americans. Love the vid Parker.
Parker why don't you review muscle cars??
Vasily Custom Builds lol he’s got a demon vid already recorded he just has to post it
He does: his E63S
Nicholas Smith thats not a muscle car
Isaiah Martinez it's been called a modern muscle car by pretty much every reveiwer. Almost all AMGs pretty much. It's not a pony but it's got muscle for sure
E63 is not a Muscle Car, it's well tuned and could go through a corner
Mine is stunning to drive. Very fast. Handles like like a sport sedan and hard to believe but with only 300 on odo at 75-80 it got 30 mpg and 500 mile range!!

Also...this was the last hydraulic steer BMW model I believe
How do you get this serviced? That has always been the problem with alfas in the US.
What happens if you bump the Stop button while driving?
Im getting mixed info regarding the cost for oil changes on this. Im hearing once a year or even every 6 months.
Where did you get the weight for the Stelvio because my alfa dealer told me base models come in around 3800lbs, and 4050lb for the base Sport. I was also told springs on the base and Sport are the same, just the seats and the paddle are what changes.
didn't they feature this in the grand tour. and it failed coz you couldn't hook it up to a trailer hitch
This was an extremely well written review I'm not in the market for an SUV at the moment, but if I were this probably won't have been the deciding factor.
I really like your editing and an awesome review thank for sharing
Awesome review Parker. Good to see that you impressed the important people at Alfa Romeo,would sure love to get your opinion on the Quadrifoglio
This video is so much better than all of your Vlogs eventhough you don't appear very objective. How can you now that this is the best car in the class without having driven the other ones?
Great video subscribed
Great review of the Stelvio!
Subaru also uses the optional Harmon Kardon audio and I will agree the bass on that audio system is awesome
Been a subscriber for a few months...gotta say, I enjoy your reviews and content. You're good at what you do.
Parker finally got a fresh cut lmao
Parker where did you get your Vbox? I want to test my Giulia!
This sounds like a sales pitch
Because it is.
He made a deal with alfa to get some free shit.
Hey Parker, loved the review, it felt like I was riding in the car with you. I test drove that vehicle, it was everything you said it was.
Very good review keep up this good work! I really liked it.
How do you make the sliding shots, Parker?
Parker the audio on this video was a lil bad in the beginning as if u had cold.
Alfa Romeo is life! Great video!
5.2 seconds for a 2L small/mid sized SUV is amazing. My a4 does 0-60 in 5.7 LOL.
Actually sounds like a really sweet SUV. Alfa is definitely coming for some heads in the US market!
Put the rear compartment cover in place and the rear view is improved....maybe not much, but better.
Nice review....have you considered reviewing the Kia Stinger GT. Sounds like its a sleeper performer. I would love to see that.
Finally, a video from Parker after soooo long which I actually enjoyed ... Keep up the good work Parker ,, Make more videos like this.
Parker please review Octavia VRS the car is surprisingly fun
They don't have Škodas in the USA.
Hey Parker can u do a review on a Lexus sc430 plz
Hey, Is that a Buick??
Next video: 5 things I like about my new barber
Following video: 5 things I hate about my old barber
Sergio Torres lol. Perfect
“What Putting your KEY inside the IGNITION secretly Does” 😂 and I’m out for the night
Following video: straight piping my barber
Hahahahahaha lolxxx, Very Funny, :D .. :P
Thanks so much for the review, it was a great review and I enjoyed you on camera! I'm going to look at one.....it's either this or a 2018 Q5. These are heavily discounted in Chicago right now.
Can this compete with the Mazda CX-5?
How reliable are Alfa cars and SUVs?
awesome review,great job , own a ti sport ,and agree with EVERYTHING you’ve said about it
3:00 is that water in the head light?
So many bashers lol, Keep in mind that Alfa Romeo is making cars for drivers who want good Driving Experience... Not really for Performance or Luxury
Glamour shots always on point 👍
My grandparents are looking into a new $47,000 Lexus. Definitely going to try and get them to check out a Stelvio lmao
well..what did they choose?
Whats the doug score?
Is that condensation in the rear light on a brand new car ?!?!? 3:00
no. It's just shiny boi
How much does the quatrofolio cost
I test drove it.
PRO: fun, huge discounts, zippy after 1st gear, fast zf transmission. Great handling. Comfortable ride.
Nice interior.
CON: turbo lag, paddles were too big and got in the way of using the turn signal stick, rear view mirror
had a frame and looked old, the rear looks like a $25k Mazda CX-5, is Alfa Romeo going to be able to stay
in business?
Great review!!!
Great video like always✌🏼
You have to figure out the mic thing man. Those shirt mic are awful they record very low.
look at how happy he is when he rimed 0:47
10:11 adjust the equalizer to an inverse bell curve.
Love your content💪🏼
parkeer love u i am with u since 45k sub

What’s the song at the beginning of the video?
you should get your own TV program it is just TopGear only then without crashing ...
The Stelvio, more electrical bugs than a jar of fireflies
Hi like the vid keep up the work
I like ur vids a lot keep it up
Now I want to get it for my next car.
Do a review on the 488
I got a 2002 Mustang GT near Ann Arbor if you wanna do a review...wouldn’t be hard to make a “5 things I hate about it” video 😂😂
I bet the Apollo ie has the best felling in the world for the paddles
Finally! An USV that can store 45 coconuts!
Jesus the camera trying to focus made me sea sick!!! Get a better camera Parker cmo!!!! At 1.3M i think you need to up your game in the video department.....
The audio is horrendously all over the place too....you'd think he would have fixed the audio issues by now
Song in the intro? 🤔
What week?
You had the car for 4 days..
Alfa Romeo Stelvio is super !!!!
Can you review Alfa Romeo 4c
It has the same power and weight as a current Honda Pilot though it does have more torque. Also I can’t get past the grille. It looks like derp face. I can make the face myself but I can’t really describe it better than that
You and Stradman plan to post a video at the same time !? haha
*but does it have SH-AWD?*
no thats for the Acura MDX. Sport Hybrid All Wheel Drive is for Hondas and Acuras only I think
Adam Zimmerman lmao i know it was a joke
Adam Zimmerman oops wrong accounty
It’s headlights remind me a lot of the Hyundai Veloster’s headlights
One of the coolest if not the coolest such ever
Intro music not in description, anyone know?
Parker give the aflo romeo a name
Vehiclevirgins great review that Stelvio is amazing fast and Luxurious
Alpha is an AMAZING alternative to the BMW,Mercedies,Possible Land Rover, and Acura RDX.
He is just saying good things because he wants Alfa Romeo to give him another car
he drove the giulia and the stelvio, what other car he can want from alfa? a mito?
Süleyman Er stelvio quadrifoglio 😑
or just to get on there good side
Probably he can get it without the help of them but okay
No its actually a great car. your wrong
Oh .. he actually got a haircut after is commented "get a haircut" on the last video 😂

Steering wheel only needs buttons which are frequently used during the driving.
agree..it shoud be just an optional (like the paddle shifters)
